Hey, the comment that other person made was really rude! That's not an inevitability of pursuing art as a career, or doing any other job some consider "less profitable". You were struggling due to specific stressful circumstances, which is totally okay, and you made the right choice for your health! That's more important than the quantity of art you make. People need to stop shaming others for pursuing different professions! >:( I hope your health problems went/will go away soon!

Hmmm, it didn’t strike me as rude. I can understand that some people feel cynical about choosing art as a career. I still find myself doubting my choice occasionally but… I really can’t imagine myself as someone other than an artist :\    

Thank you, anon! You’re very sweet! :’3
