From Code to Canvas: My Transformation Journey

Our paths are defined by our choices, not by others.

Our paths are defined by our choices, not by others.

Have you ever felt entangled by others, limiting your movement and causing you to lose track of your direction? It's easy to fall into this trap and lose track of who you really are. Most of us have gone through this: trying to meet standards that do not reflect our true passions and wondering if we will ever be "enough" for those around us.

For years, I suffered under the weight of other people's expectations, attempting to fit myself into molds that were never meant for me. I eventually learned something important that altered everything: our decisions, not other people's perceptions or judgments, lead us on our journey. This was an important turning point for me, and I hope it will be for you, whether you're experiencing work problems, navigating personal transitions, or simply looking for a spark of inspiration.

Lost in All the mess: The Influence of Expectations

In this society, we thrive on hatred and judgment. Some skills appear to be more glorified than others, and many will feel excluded. That was something I felt from a very young age.

In high school, I studied Computer Science. Society had high expectations on my coding abilities. And wow, was I doing exactly that! I was getting good grades and even received a university award for Visual Communication, which sounded fantastic. But deep down, something was wrong. While everyone is interested in cracking difficult algorithms, mine has been drawn elsewhere, into the worlds of creativity, photography and design.

However, walking away from coding felt impractical. It existed at each and everyone's point of view.

  • "You’ll never make it in visual design."

  • "There's better money in coding - why give that up?"

  • "Why don't you just stick to what you know?"

These echoed within me during times of uncertainty. However, I felt deep down that I was not intended to be defined by the questions of others. It was time to choose my own path and writing my own story.

The Courage to Choose a New Path

Transitioning from programming to creative was not an easy option. There was too much competition in the UI/UX design field, with so many new graduates that there was no possibility for growth. This scared me, but I knew it would strangle my abilities if I stayed in a place I didn't enjoy.

Instead of coding, I would focus solely on what I enjoyed, which was design principles, creativity, and narrative. I'd look for website building tools that don't require me to write any code. It wasn't just about taking shortcuts; it was about playing with my strengths.

Throughout my journey, I keep reminding myself of this basic fact:

"I don't rely on tools; I focus on the fundamentals."

This undoubtedly means that being rooted on design ideas and fundamentals has allowed me to adapt to shifting trends, learning tools, and develop things that have connected with people anyway.

Lessons Learned Along the Way

If you are creating your own path, it will undoubtedly be difficult, but each hurdle will provide an opportunity to learn. Here are a few lessons I've learned:

1. Listen to Your Inner Voice

Thinking like every other person, it's alright for people to leave with critiques because your instincts knows best. Trust your instincts, even if those who are against you are fake. Passions and raw talents are the best indicators of where you belong.

2. Change is natural.

Transformation is rarely easy, but it is almost always inevitable. Each time I hit a tripping block, whether in my work or personal development, I took it as an opportunity to reevaluate my objectives and shift. Setbacks are not failures; they are redirections.

3.Turn Criticism into a Fuel

A miserable comment may explode an emotion; however, it should be explored. Every time a critic said I couldn't accomplish it, I used their remarks as a fuel to my passion. It became a subtle but powerful target in my mind, since it proved them wrong.

4. Stay Rooted in Fundamentals

Trends and tools will come and go, but the basics are timeless. By mastering the core principles of design and creativity, I’ve been able to stay adaptable and confident in my work.

5. Believe in Yourself

Self-belief is your most powerful weapon. When you trust in yourself and preserve your faith in what is ahead, you will be strong enough to face whatever comes your way.

From Resistance to Transforming

When I focus on my life, I understand that it represents adaptability, self-discovery, and freedom. Quitting coding wasn't equivalent to giving up a job; rather, it meant creating a new concept of success on my own terms, entering a world where I could express my creativity without being constrained by conventional expectations.

Solopreneur ship was the best opportunity for me to figure out my own passions. I started making websites and designs that combined art and functionality, a trademark of mine. I proved to myself and everyone else that success is defined by what feels right for you, not what is expected of you.

What are you writing to the story of your life?

The truth is that we all have the ability to rewrite our own narrative. Whether it's a professional transition, a personal challenge, or shutting out the noise of everyone else's expectations, the journey is yours to create a path.

So ask yourself:

  • Are you allowing your worries to hold you back, or you willing to take a step into face the mystery?

  • Will you allow others to light your path, or will prove that your genuine guide is your inner voice?

    It is never too late to try something new, pursue your passions, or build a life for yourself that feels unique.

    "The pen is in your hands, write an inspiring story that you love."

My Final Thoughts

The decision to turn from coding to creativity was more than just a professional change; it was about reclaiming my identity and expressing my power of choice. Along my journey, I've learned that perseverance, self-belief, and a willingness to adapt are the keys to overcoming any difficulty.

Thus, to those of you reading this blog who feel a little trapped by high expectations or don't have a clear path to what you want in life, this is the message: you make your own tale. Believe in yourself, jump off, and watch how your life can alter in ways you never imagined.

But before I leave, I've a question for you:

What story will you allow yourself to write?
