We often get put in boxes... I'm not arty or crafty but I'm emotionally creative

I managed to enter the selection of a euro litterature award last year. I am creative, but I'm not successful or rich. I lack the talent for professional insertion. I have difficulties telling lies to get the privilege of being treated like shit in a toxic workplace for long before I burn out, and the older I get, the harder my social burnouts get and the more debilitating they are. The workplace is often revolting and I can't stand it. I have never found a workplace in my life that wouldn't send me to depression. I also am learning to code and dabble in pixel art. I was raised a musician, so that helped with thinking creatively. Feeling legitimate, though, is still a struggle, especially as an indie.

Sorry for the infodump.
