Quitting banking to pursue creative work

Hey guys – it's a long saga, but the gist of the story is that I had grown up exploring my creativity but then sh!t when down with the fam and I decided that I needed to be severely independent and fell into banking after college. Worked in finance for 9 years and actually enjoyed it but as the story tends to go, it didn't feed my soul. Was like Fuq this, yolo and all the shizz and quit my job.

Hey guys – it's a long saga, but the gist of the story is that I had grown up exploring my creativity but then sh!t when down with the fam and I decided that I needed to be severely independent and fell into banking after college. Worked in finance for 9 years and actually enjoyed it but as the story tends to go, it didn't feed my soul. Was like Fuq this, yolo and all the shizz and quit my job. Have some savings but very limited idea of what I'd like to do next apart from exploring my creativity. Have gotten back into writing, dancing and helping out a few friends with film projects.

The conundrum here is that –

  1. I am self conscious of sharing my creative work on socials and just posting more about me and my journey and part of me doesnt like the idea of hyping myself up cause I feel like why is my perspective unique of why would people wanna listen to me. Also does posting a bunch make me a basic attention seeking human? dont love that either…

    1. Any tips on how to narrow down WHAT specific creative path to go down? I feel like I enjoy a lot of it.. is it just by doing and trying?

ALL THOUGHTS WELCOMED.
