I went into medicine with a plan on making creative content beside my medical practice. Now I'm close to getting my degree and since I have more time in clinicals I wrote a bunch of short stories on an app. Whenever I bring this up to my med school friends they make fun of me as I don't make much from ad revenue on the app, the fact I am creative is causing ridicule so I have stopped sharing me being creative.
A lot of my family keeps telling me I shouldn't be artistic anymore as it's kid's stuff, I need to act more grown up as I am starting my adult life. How did you deal with this? I'm still scarred to show others the real me as I know I'll be seen as not that bright due to my creative hobbies. I feel like I'm leading a double life sometimes.
I love ur Doc Vader content. It cheers me up when I get bogged down with studies.
