I am disabled so I get a bit money every month without doing anything. For some that may sound like an easy life but that is not always the case. Indeed I am fortunate that I get to do what I want but I am not as good at it as I would like to be. I have been making art and blogging for 7+ years and I still struggle in both those areas while trying to achieve the desired results. I only sold 5 art pieces and 1 nft during those years. And my blog only started really growing quite recently. I had to invest a lot of time, effort and money for my blog to bear any fruits. And I will have to continue investing all those things for a foreseeable future if I want to achieve comfortable life/ financial security. So far I have not cashed out a single Hive(only powered down to buy splinterlands assets I believe). So I continue blogging and investing just on the hope of better tomorrow. I never had a girlfriend and I have no friends in real life. I can't drive a car. My dad died quite young( about 60 years old) And now my mother is the only close family I have left. I changed my art multiple times. In 2017 I started with pyrography(wood burning):
After that I started coloring my pyrography works:
At some point later I started making art on canvas:
I moved to digital art a few months ago. First I tried making digital 2d art:
And recently I started making 3D art as well:
Each stage of my art required effort, money and stubbornness/ willingness to try and learn new things. And after seven + years I don't think that I have fully mastered either part of my art. So as you can see in some areas my life is easier while in other parts I still struggle and will probably continue to struggle for a very long time.
Like for most other people my life is not just sunshine and rainbows. It is a never ending fight. Sometimes you get hit and sometimes you are the one hitting the enemy. But despite this daily struggle I am quite happy about my life-after constantly trying in art and blogging for seven + years it seems that I finally broke the wall with my head and the future is starting to look promising.
