Upcoming Expectations

What's to Come

I am currently deep inside a quandary about where to go from here.

I am fully aware that the majority of people live every day within one of these perplexing situations. But for me, this one is a big one. See, I have two possible future options staring me in the face. Both of which are viable and feasible paths for me to take, unfortunately, the outcome of either one is essentially the same.

I have been wracking my brain trying to figure out what I am supposed to do. And while many signs point to one, an equal number of signs point in the direction of the other! This means fate is not helping me with this decision.

As far as Wetmutt.com is concerned, I have decided that I am ending the design services offered. I am no longer going to work on getting freelance jobs and projects. I have grown tired of fighting for these bids and working my butt off for just the possibility of getting the gig.

I will continue to design things here and there, but no longer will I proactively pursue design jobs.

I will continue to illustrate and write, but again, there is no career-driven motivation behind it. It will all be simply for my own enjoyment.

I think that has become part of my problem. Art was no longer my passion, it was my job. And with a job comes stress and pressure. The aforementioned results of the career path I chose have incrementally forced my mind into a connective pattern in which art has become something I want nothing to do with. I have begun associating art with stress! And that has led to a diminishing enjoyment of art and creativity.

In an attempt to save my passion for art, I have tried to pull back from the creative careers and let my creativity be my own once again. I just hope it works.
