I'm a fucking failure

>Management called our entire group of new grads into a conference room to let us know we would be let go at the end of our first year. Microsoft had funded this hiring program but then, somewhere in all those calculations and re-assessments of profit and loss in the following months, it had been scrapped.

>I had turned down offers from other game companies like EA to come to Microsoft. We had been promised careers, growth, and mentorship. These days, most of that original group doesn’t work in games anymore. That sort of experience sticks with you. It was my first time being laid off in the games industry.

I never actually finish pieces, mostly because I hit a roadblocks where my current skills dont provide enough to continue.

I also hate studies, I know I should do them but I get zero fulfilment out of them. Sitting down and doing one for an hour burns me out faster than working for hours on my own pieces ever would.

I feel like I'm forever stuck in slightly-better-than-/beg/ limbo

your post makes me feel even more discouraged. if the store isn't busy I have to do small jobs like spraying the asphalt yard clean so I'm not wasting company time. at least I'm only 21 and have the next 10 years of youth to learn

pick related is me driving to work

100k is really not a whole lot of money, even without kids. Just one bad car accident or natural disaster and that's all wiped out. I suggest you keep working until you figure out what you really want to do in life. Keep saving.

>who thinks she's made it to the top.
she has and she can stop drawing tomorrow and live comfortably for the rest of her life

meanwhile you have to work a 9-5 till you're 70 and your rent is due next week... assuming you aren't some NEET leeching off your parents/the govt.
