What insight do you have for people experiencing hurdles and struggles and intense self-doubt with their art/creative endeavors?

How do you balance finding time and energy for creativity when in a tumultuous phase in your life (financial anxieties, low level of inspiration, etc.)?

I strive to make art for art's sake, but at the same time it'd be nice if people see it. How do you go about showcasing/sharing your work when you have zero contacts? Meeting people online seems to be the main way to go about things especially given Covid, but it feels so daunting. The work should speak for itself if it's arresting/good enough, but at the same time I can't help but feel that the tree doesn't make a sound when no one's around to hear it.

While not having money in mind when making art is very important to me, I can't help but fantasize about making art my full-time career and making a decent living off of it. How have you reconciled this, if you even had to struggle with this dilemma at all?

Thank you for your time
