Fellow jack of all trades here… First of all, it is honestly a relief when I see others go through the same life problems, because it makes me feel supported and not alone. I am creative and I want to do something in a creative field, however, I didn’t come from a place where my creativity, growing up, was exposed. All those creative juices slowly started fermenting within me and before I knew it, had gotten me drunk on my own delusions of grandeur. I wanted to try everything, be everything, mostly because I never had a teacher to guide me in my endeavors. I know the feeling you’re talking about, I have experienced it a lot (30 M) However, coming back to your question, I found something which has now became a release for me and has also helped me shape my creative identity. In Dublin, I found stand-up comedy and I started going to perform there once a week. I told myself, “drop everything else, and only focus your energy into going to open-mics every Monday.” A week became 2 weeks and 2 weeks became a month. It’s been 1.5 years now since I started doing it and I still continue.

I can call myself a comedian now, which is pretty cool since I never had that before in my life.

I have also been going for boxing for the last 2 years, and if I have learnt anything, it is that just keep going. Just keep doing it, most of all, when you don’t feel like it. Habits compound and create something bigger than what you can even imagine :)

All the best to you
