Hey man, I can completely understand how you feel. I may not be in the same living situation as you, but in terms of art, life and where we all want to be, it's something I think a lot of us here can sympathize with. It's not an easy craft to just pick up and learn right off the bat, I think that is what makes it so special, and so discouraging at the same time. Oh how I've thought about just how happy I'd be doing something else, a day job or something else, just working and making money. It can be frustrating having a clear goal in mind, being able to see where you want to be and then looking at where you are now. This is also why it's so easy to find comfort in complacency because of how much much work it truly is to achieve something great and fulfilling. This is also why there aren't billions of billionaire's. Truth is we're all capable of such great whealth and success. We all have the mental, physical and emotional fortitude to make it all happen. We're all human, no one is perfect, there will of course be many times throughout any journey the one will become discouraged, depressed and contemplate other avenues to venture.
In the end it's all about what you know you'd be most happy doing, and how positively it impacts your life, despite obstacles in life. It's never best to dwell on the negatives, is it hard to not do so at times? Hell yes it is hard. We just need to keep pushing (well within healthy means, no one wants arm/wrist problems) and we'll all eventually make it to our end goal, and even more.
Man, I think you've got a great body of work, and the development of it has been great to watch. I'd be sad if you were to leave and stop perusing your goals. Don't give up too soon (easier said than done) but the payoff of which is so amazing it is most definitely worth it. Don't lose the faith, you're capable of anything and everything! :D
