I'm currently learning Framer through its official YouTube channel, and I'm impressed by the quality of the tutorials. I find Framer much more intuitive than Elementor. I'll continue learning and experimenting so I can bring even better content to this channel.

If you feel lonely while doing your job, put yourself out there online. Whether you’re a graphic designer, an accountant, a priest, or have any other profession, you can definitely share your experience and help others.

I do this for several reasons, but one of them is that I was helped by many people who created design tutorials and shared them for free on YouTube. Without those videos, I wouldn’t be who I am today—I wouldn’t even call myself a graphic designer.

And now, I even make money from it, which wouldn’t have been possible without those amazing people.

So share your experience and become one of them too.

I thank God that I didn’t study graphic design in school. I probably would have ended up hating this field, just like most “mandatory” subjects.

The very idea of something being mandatory feels like it’s imposed by someone else—and like anything that’s imposed, you don’t really do it with pleasure.

Instead, I chose to pursue graphic design because it’s what I truly wanted, and now I practice this “profession” with genuine enjoyment.

I’m a generalist, but there are only a few areas where I can say I enter that state of “flow”—that state where you’re so focused on what you’re doing that you completely lose track of time.

Michelangelo used to say that money and fame are illusions, and that only the pursuit of artistic perfection, divine inspiration, and the harsh realities of creative struggle truly matter.

I feel the same way about graphic design, and I believe this applies to other fields as well. At one point, I met someone who said they entered this flow state while restoring furniture—that was their profession.

So if you’re a student or just starting out and you don’t yet know what you want to do in the future, try to find the activities that bring you into this state of flow.

Look for what feels like play to you, but like work to others. Experiment a lot, and you’ll definitely figure it out. Because your happiness and inner peace depend on it.

Good luck!
