I can sort of relate to some parts of it.. I used to pursue a completely different career (IT), then when the crisis hit in 2008, I didn't had anything to do at work anymore.. bored to death (ofc lucky i kept my job).. but going to work everyday to just play videogames or watch movies is only good for a few weeks.. after that you are wondering why you even have to come in..

So i picked up a pencil and started drawing.. now 8 years later I work on the games I used to play and work on sequels to the movies I watched :)
