Being a writer is confusing

Kind of just blurting out whatever here because I need to organize my thoughts.

I've been writing my whole life. I used to just sit down and push out a draft or three that I'd publish at the end of the week to a crowd of kids my age who love to read stories.

Now I'm an adult, a semester away from graduating. I still write even though my degree has little to do with plain text and ideas past scriptwriting (I'm an animator). I was told that pursuing writing as a career would lead me nowhere but looking at my options, "Content Creator" is the only role that could take me where I want.

"Content Creator" is such a soulless job title. It sounds so methodical. I realize writing for corporate is just *like that* but why is it so difficult for me to overcome this? I'm trying to marry together this stiff selection of subject matters that appeases tech companies with my own takes and opinions but I just cannot take myself seriously. It is so fucking difficult. It's so difficult to write. When did it become so hard? I wish I could talk to someone about this.
