Did you ever escape the feeling of constant grind or find your vision?
I occasionally open tumblr to check out artwork from a few artists I follow, but I never thought I'd be answering a follow-up question to a post I made over 5 years ago. I'd like to believe I've grown into a happier and more accomplished person over these past few years. I've gotten married, moved out of a 1-bedroom apartment into a house, and found a job that allows me to be (moderately) creative. Did I ever escape the feeling of a constant grind? Yes. I forced myself out of my comfort zone and sought out new experiences on a regular basis. This led me to find my wife and start an entirely new chapter of my life. Did I ever find my vision? I think so. At the time, my vision was twofold — 1). Date with the intention to find a meaningful relationship and 2). Pursue "something" that fulfilled me creatively. I'd say "marriage" is a key indicator that I've thoroughly accomplished my first goal. In regards to the second goal, I started learning how to 3D model about 9 months ago and I've been sharing my progress on social media. I'm still very much an amateur, but I find the process...therapeutic? rewarding? All I know is that I'm enjoying it for now. My creative aspirations are constantly evolving, so who knows what I'll find myself pursing in another 5 years. Thank you for reaching out. It's bizarre, yet endearing to have someone from tumblr check in on me.
