Name: Adil Rahman
Occupation: Employee
Country: India

Problem:
I am a 32-year-old working professional. Since childhood, my dream was to become an artist, but due to family pressure and reality, I had to take the path of a corporate job. My job is not bad, the salary is good, but every day I feel that I may have strayed from my true life. Sometimes I feel like time is running out, and I am losing the opportunity to do what I truly love. What should I do in this dilemma?

Second person (letter from Askly Help):

Dear Adil,

Reading your letter, I realized that you are in a deep state of tension—between dreams and reality. It is a very natural feeling, especially when life takes us on a path we may not have imagined for ourselves.

Life never ends with "one chance". If you are truly dedicated to your art, there is no need to give it up completely. Having to work for a living is fine, but that doesn't mean you can't do what you love. Time doesn't run out, it's just how we use our time that matters.

Can you spare an hour every day just to practice your art? Maybe after work, maybe on holidays. If you practice your hobby regularly, it will gradually become a part of your life. Many people become professionals from their hobby, maybe not today, but with patience and love, opportunities are bound to come in the future.

Besides, you can publish your artwork on social media, show it to friends, and even think about small exhibitions. No one becomes successful overnight, but those who know how to nurture their love never fail.

Most importantly, don't blame yourself. Life throws us challenges, but that doesn't mean we completely lose our dreams. You do your job, but don't forget that you are an artist at the same time.

Best wishes,
Askly Help
