have trouble finding a market for your passion?

...maybe you should not have assumed there's a market in the first place. even if there is, it probably won't present itself to you when you're still hesitating whether or not to put in the 10,000 hours and create something meaningful...

Don't think too much, don't force yourself to come up with some good reason or justification that your passion has a place in the market. Just do it. Have the time of your life. If you need to provide labour in return for survival in the society, if the only thing available to you right now is a nasty job, so be it. Don't imagine and take for granted your 'entitlement' to make a living doing what you love.

Learn from life, learn from the nasty work you are doing, as well as your passion and your consistent selfless contribution to the world. Don't overthink, don't try to cash up on your pure simple/noble passion.

Never give up, though. Just go working, living, meeting people, listen, learn from them, learn from life, do at least as much as you think/plan. And for sure you'll see your market somewhere down the road...

Get busy; be patient. You'll be there.
