You can't imagine the impact your message has had on me, it truly touched my heart. I'm 37 years old, and I've always done what I was "supposed" to do, but for a while now, I've been thinking about pursuing what I love, which is design and illustration. However, sometimes I feel foolish because of my age and the fear that I might not be able to support my family with a profession like that.
Thank you! It's lovely to hear this! Remember that you don't need to swap one profession for the other straight away. Start from doing art and design in your free time, see how it goes. You can always transition as slowly as you can! Maybe in time you will be able to go for a part time job with support from your design and illustration business? Nothing is impossible if you put your passion to it :) I know the pressure of doing what we "supposed" to and the fear of feeling "foolish", but at the end of the day ask yourself this: Will you, in 20-30 years, feel more regrets about feeling foolish than regrets from not doing something you love and feel passionate about? Plus, even if your design and illustration work won't bring money, I am certain you will feel happier and more fulfilled which is always something that will bring a little more brightness into your every day life! Remember you deserve to do what you love! No matter how silly it seems to others! :)
Hi there ! I really connect with your experience, only I did not find the courage yet to make the big jump. Keep going and looking forward for more content and your shop ! :)
You’d think so, but…the first one is old enough to be in retirement, the second one has narcolepsy, and the third one’s hobby is trash picking so I’m not getting my hopes up 😅
I know how difficult it is to produce a video because I tried my hand at creating a Procreate class. I want to tell you, you’re definitely not too old to start a shop or make videos. I started my art career (after hobby painting my entire adult life) at the age of 70 and opened a Shopify store. I’m still going strong at nearly 73. No sales from my store which is frustrating, but I fortunately don’t need art to support myself. About this video, the content was great, but the music was very annoying and way too loud. It’s difficult to hear you. Maybe it’s not my style of music, the volume needs to come down. When you work so hard to script and deliver your content, it’s good to have it heard. Keep making art! Love your fantasy maps. 🩷🩷🩷
Thank you so much! You're right. We're never too old to go back to our artsy passions! Yes, the music has come down a notch in my recent videos, but all suggestions are welcome, so thank you for bringing it up.

When the time is right, you'll find your courage! I've seen your map and it looks great! Which is very promising for your artistic future!
I mean there’s 3 cats and 2 of you… logically the cats should be able to work and support you guys
