I guess we face similar challenges. But everything will be fine, just let's keep it busy :) And photography definitely helps, i though i would simply go to India and start shooting street photography on those hard times :) What's the worst thing that can happen and you might end up being world renown photographer for that.
I know where it's coming from, but hey, lets work out, and shoot some dope images, you have a great talent so hit that shutter button mate!
