Creating art gave me anxiety. I think it always did because I've always been nervous about it being good enough. I've taken so many hiatuses from making art. I thought it would be something I'd do as a career.
But I've finally accepted the fact that art stresses me out and I don't want to do that on a daily basis. So I've pivoted towards programming instead. It was something I've done since I was a teenager and felt more at ease with. But a number of factors kept me from pursuing it early on.
I haven't overcame my art anxiety. To be fair, my realizations and acceptance were recent so I haven't had time to go through the process anyway. More focused on building out my programming profession at the moment.
