Hello Fastlaners,
There’s a story halfway through Unscripted , about a game designer, that’s very similar to mine. The short version is that my dream was to be an artist in the entertainment industry. It was a tough road through an ultra-competitive field but I’ve made it and currently work as an art manager at a top game studio. Mission accomplished.
But I’ve been thinking. Reading. Seeing more clearly.
Getting paid to draw aliens and robots is a dream job when you’re a 12 year old comic book nerd but, as an adult, it becomes just another treadmill gig. All my 'passion', skill and experience are just making some other guy richer.
So I’ve accepted how the system works and have gotten clear on my priorities. I couldn’t care less about Lambos, designer clothes, fancy homes. I just want my freedom and my time back. I'm ready to stop trading time for money.
That's pretty much what brings me here. Hoping to have some great conversations and learn a lot,
Cheers
