I’m currently in my “quarter-life” phase, and I finally decided to pivot from a stable career path into building something of my own (working on an indie game project). Even though I’m working on something I truly love, I have those nights where the “fear of failure” hits hard. I keep looking at peers who are climbing the corporate ladder and wondering if I’m just delusional for trying to build my own world instead of taking a “safe” paycheck. For those who decided to bet on themselves - did the fear ever actually go away? Did you find that taking that risk changed how you look at “success” in general? I’m really curious if the “risk” was worth it, regardless of the financial outcome. submitted by /u/mersocial6
