When you’re doing the work, but nothing is moving

“Maria, I’ve been following my calling for years now, and I’ve reached a point where I feel completely stuck. I’ve put in the work, I’ve stayed consistent, and I truly believe in what I’m doing, but externally, it’s just silence.

Lately, it’s started to feel like a crisis. My bank account is at zero, I’m stressed about basic survival, and I see people around me succeeding at things that seem so superficial while I’m struggling just to buy groceries.

There are days where I want to just give up and get a ‘normal’ job, but I literally can’t. It’s like this vision is holding me hostage. I’ve tried to just move on, but it won’t let me go, I keep coming back to it. I just want to cry.

Am I just being delusional? Is there a reason why the doors are not opening and nothing is coming out of what I’m pouring out, even when I’m giving it my all? I feel like I’m wandering in the dark and I don’t know if I’m actually going anywhere. I literally just want to cry at this point.”
