I bought a PC 5 years back with obsession to create cartoons What happened to cartooning? Do you do it at all anymore? As much as you might love what you're doing, you can't have just one thing in your life. I managed to burn myself out on programming/hacking at 15 years old. It had been my only obsession since I first got my hands on a computer. One day I realized I was sick of it. My eyes were always bloodshot. I wasn't sleeping. I had no friends. I didn't even go to school. I did my best not to look at a computer screen for six years. I picked up a guitar and played obsessively. I explored new career paths when it came time for college. I almost went in to the medical field. I exhausted my options, and finally came back to tech. Everything was new and amazing. I felt so inspired. I had never seen a SATA connector before. I had never played with virtualization. It was like living in the future. It pained me a little to know I'd missed so much development, but I caught up quickly. Now I have two things in my life: tech and music. When feelings of failure, inadequacy, and burnout arise, I pick up my guitar and go do an open mic night. It's my ego's failover. Go back to cartooning. Switch your obsession for a while. It's still okay to obsess, just do it over something else. Become confident in your skills and sell drawings on the street for $5; do anything to boost your ego a little. You'll come back to hacking. There's time.
