Anything that makes you happy and it gives you joy when doing it, even without you being paid is your PASSION. And as you said, that you are afraid if your skill will become a success if you put all your energy into it. All I have to say is that DARE TO BE DIFFERENT, no matter how many times you have failed. |

Eastside22: Your loss of interest may be due to fear or just frustration at how things have changed and are changing so rapidly. Thanks to COVID, the days of "DOING WHAT YOU LOVE", "FOLLOWING YOUR PASSION" are officially over. Motivational speeches have failed and their speakers are in hiding. If you are not solving a major problem that has been caused by COVID... you may not get much because the attention, choices, inclination of the world has shifted by a large degree, so you are not the only one who has LOST INTEREST.... because many have suddenly realized that their skills, their jobs, their courses in school have become useless in the light of this "pandemic". All I can tell you is, PHOTOGRAPHY will survive, but you have to think outside the box.... yes think beyond Covering events and parties because until there is a VACCINE... all that may never happen again... So be smart and get ahead of the game. Move your graphics design to animation and then to web/app design else you may become irrelevant in an ever competitive world. Also study about investments so when you miraculously start getting cash, you can INVEST and safeguard yourself from issues in the future. I know you are smart so get yourself together and chase the new dream.... 3 Likes |

In this social media world graphics design and photography will always strive. Me personally, I really want to learn it professionally because i am into Vlogging(YouTube) you need clear and enticing graphics to get your Target audience. Whatever you do, love it and take it to the extreme end. God blesses hard work. 1 Like |

Eastside22: THINKING CAN NEITHER BE CREATED NOR DESTROYED So get BUSY with the new things I already mentioned. it is THINK AS YOU GO then you will GROW. So stop waiting for PERFECT TIME... when ALL THINKING WILL STOP.... because that time is only when you are in your grave. So get busy learning new things and studying the NEEDS that you can solve in the digital world due to covid. |

Eastside22: When you say "fear of not making it", do you mean financial success? |
Re: Please I Need Help I'm So Bothered Right Now by Mariangeles(f): 8:17am On May 30, 2020 |
Eastside22: You need to start doing and enjoying it for yourself first and foremost. You can find other source of income for financial security, but enjoy your passion for yourself. Don't pressure or suppress your passion. Me for example, I love everything food. It is my passion and fascination. Add to that, I discovered I love food photography, even though I've not perfected it yet. You know what? It makes me really happy and giddy when I can get to take a good picture... especially when nature blesses me with the perfect light. Sometimes I guard the pictures jealously, sometimes I share. For me, it's not about money, even though money can be made from it. |

I think why you are feeling this way is because of the popular increase in design with your smartphone...but dear is not about everybody is doing it, just look for something unique in the same line and perfect it, since is your passion fine a problem in the graphics word and photography and solve it... Then people can pay you for value provided.... 1 Like |
