How do I navigate this old but new sphere when who I am now is not who I was when I was childless, wfh + freelancing full time? When my sweat and tears werent threatened to be scrapped for data bits, and socmed spaces still resembled a democratic bubble where all art could flourish but now don’t?

How do I navigate the internal compass shift after struggling to climb out of the yawning abyss that was burnout and artblock (and turning down opportunities because of it) only to find my peers just as blocked and stressed in different ways? How do any of us navigate any of it?
