I think I'm getting bored with my passion and it's been weeks! My first love is writing. But these days, I feel like I'm all out of inspiration. I've always loved writing, but maybe it's not what I'm meant to do? I don't know. I'm worried. I just need something to get me back in the game, I guess.

Thank you for sharing!

I see how you love writing, as it is your passion. But in some point of our lives, we can feel tired from doing what we used to do. But don't worry, that's just a new challenge for you and if you can overcome it, then it can strengthen your love for your passion.

I'd like you to ask yourself on why do you think you're feeling that way. Because knowing the reason is an easier way to find appropriate solutions. Maybe you got so busy these past few weeks? Had a full schedule? Lack of time? Got some problems with work/school/relationships? Felt underrated? Feeling lazy? You have to be honest with yourself.

If you really want to get back to your passion, push yourself. Schedule a time for writing (like for 2 hours a day, you'll just write. No social media, no television, no anything, just write). Make it your self-time. Think of new ideas. Sometimes, when you don't have a schedule and is not diligent enough for it, we tend too think about doing it next time and ending up not doing it. But if you still have something more important to do, you can resched it and do what's needed. For example, if you have a homework pending and you decided to write, you won't be able to relax yourself because you will be constantly thinking about the homework and how you'll finish it, trust me. You won't be as creative and as productive like how you expect yourself to be. You'll get nothing. Yet rather than spending hours on useless stuff, why not do your passion, right? And don't overdo it, it's not healthy. You can do it progressively (like start from 30 mins a day, adding 10 minutes every two days). You can't have it too much. Try doing this and you'll start seeing the changes in yourself!

Since you said you feel like you lose all your inspirations, then create a new one! Read new books. See updates from your favorite authors. Read about tips on how to write. Do a new style of writing and try different genres. Aspire to be someone who is really good in writing. Your dreams will not disappear easily like how you think it did. It's still there, if you'll pursue it.

If you think it's not working, then maybe you should try exploring other stuff. You're probably good in dancing, singing, drawing, or speaking too! You don't have to limit yourself in writing. I'm not saying you should forget writing, but my point is it's not bad to be good in things other than writing. You're talented and gifted. And don't you like it to be good in a lot of things? If you think you miss writing, then go back to it. Go back to your basics. Write again. Live with your passion again.

For other cases, losing interests in what you used to love can be a symptom of a more serious illness. So please take care of yourself and start doing what you love again. Hope I helped you!

 Hope I helped you!
