Hi Emma
Those are very good questions and ones that I’m sure many of us don’t have figured out yet. For myself, it’s been a process. Trying to make the best out of the life I have been given. Not comparing myself to others is helpful. Finding something to enjoy and spending time doing that. Thinking that what you’re doing in your job is helpful to others, not just your boss, but the people in the lawsuits and your co workers, who are part of your team.
Realizing that even though your art and photography may not be your career at this time, there’s always a possibility of you finding a career using these talents.
Keep your options open, and take a look at all you’ve accomplished. And all that you can accomplish ahead.
My daughter likes to make lists of her goals and achievements. It helps her to feel successful and keeps things in check.
Things have a way of falling into place sometimes.
Wish you the best!
