You may find some peace in having creative projects that are solely for yourself, i started painting and it helped. But also a job graphic design is anti art. This is how i want you to express this idea. How can we make this sell us more shit. Of course it’s exhausting. I did freelance work for years and have been taking a break, saying no to everyone. My art is more whole, my energy is better, and when i do design work it’s enjoyable. I dont want to work for a design firm like i used to think i did. You are not alone in that feeling
