Thank you, I needed this right now.

We all take different paths. For me it is just a little difficult. I had a plan when I was younger: to become a social worked and have a stop motion company on the side. After that I desided to become a captain on a boat and do snorkaling tours with tourists. This did not work out but I was still making animations. I worked my ass of to earn money at a tourist oriented job and I saved up to move back to my home country, this took so long because my parents demanded me pay a big sum of money for rent. They did this to keep me from moving. My parents wanted to start a boat company like my 2e idea was. They kept me on a line that that might happen and they slowly made steps to made it happen but in the end they did not and it started to piss me off and coused them arguing because they could not agree on anything. I wish they lended me money so I could start a small company for myself, but I desided to move to my home country with my bf and try college again. I studied mediadesign and I was supposed to be done when I was 27, but the pandemic was very hard for me and I desided in 2021/2022 to go for my BA in Communication. I stopped making stop motion animations, during my mediadesign degree I tried out many digital skills like editing, 2d animation, 3d animation, writing articles, film, photograpy, illustrating and some more. Now in Communication I focus more on the way and advice stide of things. I do still kind of feel like I want to write about fantasy and art or paint miniatures as commissions in the future.

It is hard because I already wanted to have a job and start considering kids. The pandemic thought me that a lot of unexpected things can happen. Jobs are not easy. Kids take a lot of time and cost too much space and money, I will not be able to buy a house with my student loan debt. So I need to adjust my expectations and plans. It makes me really sad I probably will not have kids. Other then that I have a loving bf and live in a nice rental apartment just living our lives...
