I wanted to draw my yumeship, since it was the only thing that kept me sane all that time

I honestly don't know if the past generations have felt the level of insecurity, uncertainty and utter stress that my generation (older gen Z) is going through. Millennials do, but what about the older ones?

I don't know if it's normal to constantly feel like you're running out of time and making all the wrong choices about your future. To me it seems like a game of guessing: if you're smart enough, MAYBE you will understand which are the most wanted professions of the future, and if you have the resources, you can build that future. But then you have to understand which skills and professional profiles will be needed in the future and while some of those are obvious (doctors, engineers, anything that involves tech and AI), others are not. Will we need reporters, journalists, graphic designers and so many similar figures?

There is so much investment of AI that these professions seem doomed and it's depressing. Humans should be making art, writing and so on.

But AI is not to blame entirely, because it can be a useful tool. Who's to blame are those who say that it will replace humans in making art and working on information. But if we extend this reasoning, AI could replace human doctors, veterinarians, mathematicians, and all those working in tech.

Anyways.

I don't know if it's the fault of my generation that we have no idea what to do. Most of us don't even know what we like, whereas some of us can't make a job out of their interests. Even becoming a reporter isn't recommended anymore. I don't know really if there is something wrong with us, with our circumstances, or both.

In my experience, no one has been able to truly empathise with me and give me advice on my future. Even when I needed it the most and asked for it, I was either told the wrong thing or that " you should think about it more and figure out yourself, because only you can know what you want to do", but then when I talked about what I wanted, I was told it was wrong or that I would regret it. I would have appreciated some proper explanation, but even more I wished that people just answered my questions honestly and tried to empathise, instead of just leaving me with so many doubts. Again, I don't know if it's just me having these issues, or if there are more people like me.
