Hopeless

1 year ago · 2 · Stress, +6

Hello. I'm a young, 23 y.o. young adult who graduated on July 2020. I've been unemployed for a year, (I actually work once for 2 weeks but it was a scam company) unable to find jobs. The small company my brother worked at closed down due to bankruptcy. I've been trying my best to sell my artwork via commission via fiverr, Facebook, twitter, and artfol but i have near 0 luck. I finished a piece for a client three days ago, but the pay is not enough (just $5) to help my mother to buy diapers for my sickly (90 yo) grandmother.

I'm worthless. If only I could get a job before I graduate perhaps this situation wont happen. I know my art is not good enough, but it's the only skill I'm really good at so I don't know what should I do. I keep applying to company but so far I only managed to score the scam company I said in 1st paragraph.

Idk what should i do. Im worthless. I feel so hopeless. I cant even provide my family. This isnt the 1st time it happens, idk what should i do....

    Hello!

    Please, please keep hanging on! I know you have probably been told this about a million times but your family loves you and they do not blame you. I'm sure they'd only want you to do what makes you happy! Keep making your art work. And I'm sure your Self-Worth and the hard work you've put into these creations are worth more than $5

    Keep that chin up hon, because you have a bright future!

    Prayers for you and your family

    Hang in there <3
