That being said, I still hear a lot of people (especially here, because let's face it, you're not where you want to be in life if you're here) who do nothing but whine, bitch and talk down to people who have the drive to give it a shot. I'm just saying life isn't so fucking grim and some people do succeed too. So do what you can to make sure it's you when you have the time/means to pursue it.
Creative and documentary aspects of photography are basically polar opposites. You can't force creativity, but you can still have a decent living as a photographer being a "documentary" photographer (weddings, events, gigs, journalism etc.)
Like with music. I don't like playing cover songs, but when I have writer's block or just don't have any creative juices, then I can still find fun in playing some cover tunes. Learn some new styles and stuff. You can always evolve.
