Am I a painter or a writer?

Since I started working, I haven’t painted for myself as passionately as I used to & I find myself monologuing and it’s as if I’ve written a book about living. I also try to read books and learn to enjoy reading books, for example books that give me motivation and inspiration to become a useful person.

When I was at university, I spent more money on magazines and comics. Usually, young teenagers are young and there is no one to encourage me to read.

‘Ahh focus! Focus Anna!

I don’t want to blame my past stories on being brought up again.

As a graphic designer and a person who likes to paint, this career is actually very professional if it is good at sharing, A designer can focus on various fields, but should focus on two @ three only, cannot be comprehensive to be all.

A year has passed I work in one place, and I try to open a different book to appreciate the joys and sorrows of the work environment. Actually it’s normal for others. but for me, it’s very awkward.

Which is not the case, after I got married and moved in the city, I haven’t worked outside & didn’t hang out with outsiders for a long time. My introverted nature was getting deeper and scared me to try to make new friends. I was usually in my room painting.

Two years ago, I began my journey into the world of NFTs. Everything went smoothly at first; I joined the NFT community and sold paintings that I had been saving for a long time. This was very profitable as long as I was actively painting and focusing on my path. However, suddenly I was contacted by one project.

I was involved with the team for about 8 months, but because I wanted to develop my career, I got involved. However, over time, I became unproductive because I was so focused on the project that I forgot about my own painting career.

Balancing passion and opportunity can be challenging.

I can say that I am quite proud of my work, because this is what I wanted to learn and use my strengths for. Actually, I’d like to go into the field of my dreams, such as being a conceptual artist and painting with my own uniqueness.

In the past, I spent a lot of time painting characters and portraits, and yes, I got paid for it. But it wasn’t quite what I expected.
