After almost a year of dropping my passion for game making in pursuit of a more stable tech job (web dev), taking a break from a tough day job thinking I could land a web dev job somewhat soon given the demand, I found myself spending a lot of energy on applications that got rejected, and much of my savings are gone from taking this long break. After a long bureacratic battle with the municipality about an illness they need to financially aid me in supplies for, I finally got approved which made the dayjob I left go from unbearable to jsut tough on me. My financial worries are gone as I’m back to work and I no longer feel guilt pursuing my game dev passion or evvlen just taking a break and binching youtube on my days off. I’ve not been happier in over a year. It gets better
I’ve been through the same. I was so sad to learn this. This is what personal growth looks like, you learned a thing today. Be proud of yourself
