I’m also too afraid to try abandoning everything and running in that one direction
Taking one step at a time will get you there so no need to abandon everything right away however it's really great to know that you still have some time to do your creative endeavors.
Hive can be that space for you to constantly write or put you into a routine of expressing yourself because of the wonderful people you will meet and interact with, in the communities like Blockchain Poets. You can also check out our different Communities and see what interests you.
Anyways, congratulations and welcome to Hive @pollenpiggy! To help you on your journey here, you can read How To Get A Great Start on the Hive Blockchain or check out some resources in newbies-guide. Also, engaging with the community makes it much easier to build your network and gain support. And lastly, Plagiarism and any form of abuse is considered a serious offense. Navigating here on Hive can be somewhat tricky so make sure to check out the things mentioned above.
