I won't make it /lit/. I got and degree in electrical engineering

Getting a good well paying job isn't all it's cracked up to be when you're not chasing the paper dream.

There's hardly anything satisfying about giving all your time and energy in a day almost every day to your job when you're merely doing it to do it or for a living.

Sorry m8 it only gets worse from here.

The job is hard and unsatisfying yes. But i really want to be able to stay with the girl i love and maybe someday raise kids.
Art can't promise happiness and the chances that i will fail are huge. I have very real urge to follow this passion, but i can't give up on my love. I would be a fool to do so.

be honest with your wife about it, ask for a year or something, tops, if you can. tell her if it doesn't work out, you'll get back on the grind and work towards both of your dreams. that way you won't have any regrets. she must care about you too.

Seems to me that you are putting yourself down on purpose m8.

You managed to grow up, get an education, get a job, stick to it, marrying an intelligent, and presumably attractive woman, and you can't find small gaps in your time where you can polish artful crafts like writing?

Bullshit. Yeah, life is fucking hard, but that shouldn't stop you from doing anything.

You're just a weak willed human being, it's no big deal, just join the rest of the biological compost and enjoy devoting your life to improving the infrastructure of Bangladesh or whatever you do

At some point you choose which idea needs to die.
You've chosen to upset yourself over this even though you have so many things already important to you. I'm similar, I can barely do the art I want to do and my brain fries itself to the point where I have to force myself to relax but I keep having ideas and writing.

Just recently I forgot if I sent a rent check in the mail or not, because I'm thinking too much about my writing. No easy victories, the very thing that makes me so proud of what I do is the same thing giving me problems.

It's the same with any story. People will ditch it just because it doesn't have a female protagonist and a hot guy on the cover, what makes your desires any different or better than theirs? It's the same petty life we all lead in this modern world.
