loss of passion

Wow get ready for another somewhat depressing entry guys. Have you ever just felt...apathetic to everything? Okay, well, maybe not apathetic but you just seem to lose interest in everything and you only do things to get by. I used to be really into drawing and art and writing, but for a while now I've just lost interest in those things. Sometimes I do them, I mean I'm majoring in an art degree, but it doesn't really feel...like I'm passionate about it. I think I lost my passion for things. Maybe that doesn't sound too awful considering everything else I could be feeling but living without passion is pretty y. Like, I want to do things, but I lack the drive to really reach out for what I want to do and the problem is I'm doubting what I even want from life. What I thought were my dreams seem more like passing interests, phases that I've outgrown. With that being said though, I have nothing that I'm passionate about. I'm afraid that I won't find anything I'm passionate about and just kind of settle for whatever life gives me and I don't want that. I guess some people could say that if I didn't want somethign to happen just do everything in my power to prevent it, but it's not that easy. Just like telling someone who is depressed to just "be happy" isn't a thing that works either. I don't know...I don't know what I should fight for or look foraward to. I don't know what I want anymore and I feel like a little kid again except I don't have the luxury to feel like that because I'm an adult and I should be wasting my time not knowing, right? God everything ...

I kinda understand what you mean, as I'm sorta in the same situation myself atm. I even like the same things that you do, aka drawing and writing and such, but lately I feel like I'm in this forever-lasting slump or something, which has resulted in me not writing anything for like 2 years... I don't know what kind of words would be the most comforting, as I don't really have a solution myself either, but at least I can relate, and I really do hope you find your passion again. And please never settle for less than what you want or dream of! Hwaiting, I'll be cheering you on from the sidelines ;)
