Design, no matter what… helps me.
Moreover, since I graduated from Design College as well (despite some people being successful in having a design career without a degree).
But somehow, … design helps me.
Design helps me (and all of us) to earn money, of course.
Design helps me (and some of us) to get the money from home.
Design helps me (and some introverts) to get the job and to have something to do while enjoying it (no matter how stressful it is, but it is because people are ruining the ‘design work itself’)
Design helps me to grow as a mother and wife without the need to look for a chance to keep myself busy by enjoying life at my kid’s school.
Design makes my self feel ENOUGH.
Design somehow makes me stressed, yes, but it’s because of people, not the design.
Design is also making my income sometimes unstable, yes, but at least if I imagine I were an extrovert, I won’t ruin other mothers’ lives just because I have nothing TO DO OR HAVE NOTHING THAT I CAN ENJOY IN LIFE.
Design makes my life fulfilled as a mother.
Why did I mention ‘mother’ again? because a mother without any clear activity (not just a job, but a job that they can enjoy) will inconvenience other mothers. It is still ‘okay’ if it is still family, so you can tell them you are busy and don’t like it. But if it is not a family, it is a nightmare.
Hope Allah always protects us.
