“I feel scared about my future. I’ve been a graphic designer in my daily job for six years in the same office, which is really a comfort zone for me. At the same time, I’m pursuing my dream to become a full-time artist. Right now, I do both, and sometimes, I feel exhausted. Because of economic conditions, I can’t make a bold move like resigning and becoming a full-time artist.”

It’s okay to take a breath before the leap.”
I got a feeling that it’s time to spread those wings.
