Hello everyone, I'm hoping there might still be someone out there.

I have returned, but I think this will not be for long.

It's been quite some time since I last updated my deviant art account, and that also means I haven't done any pieces of art lately (you have no idea how much I miss that...).

In this moment of my life, at my almost 29 years old (damn... time goes frightenly fast) I'm working on a big well paid company as a "graphic designer"... Hurray...

The truth is I'm not happy with this job, it' so linear, I spend so much time in here and it's like 3 hours affar (2 hours without traffic, very rare though...), some of my work companions try to cheer me up by telling me: "c'mon do an effort, if you work hard enough you might get to become a Product Manager!!" ...a Product Manager? I didn't study and practiced visual artistic skills for endless nights just to move numbers and coordinate people, I hate and always hated that kind of stuff...

I'm going the wrong way, I know that, but it's not as easy as resigning my job. Because after all, I spent months searching for jobs, and not just any job, a well payed job.

Basicly, I'm sick of this, I'm desperate, I don't want to be someone's "catalogue maker", I want to do art, I want to draw my stories, I want to do my own characters, I want to build my worlds out of my head... but how? Is there anyone out there who can help me? A word of two  would do... I feel stuck and a little push might be enough.

I don't even know if anyone will ever read this, but hey... miracles could happen, don't they?

Thanks for readding.

Cheers...

Hola,

Difícil situación, no es fácil dejar un empleo en el que te pagan bien, sobre todo si hay que cubrir compromisos.

Por otra parte, si lo que haces no te satisface, si las posibilidades de crecimiento profesional ahí no te ilusionan, y si además desperdicias tantas horas en ir y venir, tienes que pensar qué tanto vale la pena.

Si me permites una sugerencia, no te precipites, no tomes una decisión impulsiva. Mantente atento a nuevas oportunidades, explora opciones, y ojalá que encuentres algo que de verdad te haga feliz.

¿tres horas de camino ?!! Wow, creo que deberías considerar seriamente cambiarte de ciudad...

Un abrazo
