Do you know the feeling when you try something for a long time and it just doesn't work?
This is happening to me right now and I'm just not hopeful anymore.

I always wanted to be self-employed. When I was in my early 20s I tried hard to be a game dev, then switched to mobile dev and then tried gigs on fiverr. Nothing worked. I had to get myself full-time dev job, which killed me inside. My days consisted of waking up, working and going to sleep. I didn't even leave my house. However, I pressed on and worked for a few years full-time, earning a good puffer.

Last year I quit in the hope of building an income with websites. However, I didn't realize how bad Google got. I remember the time in 2019, when a shitty blog of mine easily got hundreds of search impressions daily, but now Google won't even look at me. My best website gets ca. 400 daily views (thank you bing and DDG). My app, which I made for the website does more uninstalls than installs, wtf!

Now, I'm lying in my dark bedroom and don't know what to do. There is no hope that my website will magically get more impressions, if it's already struggling for a year.

Yes, I have still money which could give me 2 years, but I'm already nearing my 30s and I wasted everything! Instead of experiencing life I studied, worked and tried my dream. I don't want to even fiend a new girlfriend because it would be shamefully, since I can't provide anything.
