Anyone not having a stable job...how do you handle it psychologically?

Trying to make it as a visual artist is difficult...there are months where i am okay and then months where I barely make it. And it's not that I'm a big spender... The psychological ups and downs that come with this instability and insecurity is something serious really. There comes days where i think life would be so much easier if I had a regular job....

@being There is no stability guaranteed even in a regular job. You can lose it any time. Employees are let off by companies all the time. Plus mental breakdowns from working 9 to 5 and from working in toxic environments. Etc etc etc
........there is no peace. Working class is worried about paying bills no matter their job description--free lancer or regular

@turningthekeys your last sentence is incredibly spot on 🤗

@being I really don't want you to feel discouraged just because you don't work a conventional job. But yeah passive income is important. I'm saving up for passive income too do that a few years down the line I can invest in real estate. Some banks also offer saving accounts that use your money for businesses and add a certain percentage of their profit to your account because technically you're an investor. So yeah you gotta look into your options and I hope we can make it through.
