I’m freaking out just a little bit. I have realized that I can’t find passion anymore. It’s fading away slowly. I used to have so much passion. I used to be passionate about almost everything. Theater, singing, acting, dancing, writing, mythology, reading, philosophy, guitar, you name it. (Though not math…. I hate that with a passion) Passionate is something that used to be a descriptive term for me. Now… I don’t know. It’s fading and I am desperately trying to hold onto it. But I can feel it slipping away along with my will to live. I don’t know how much longer I will be able to be here…

I know what you mean. I’ve been going through a similar thing. What I’ve tried to do is gradually get back into a hobby – for me it has been reading. Every day, I read a little bit more and it is getting better. You should try it – it may help you a lot.
You should also try to get rid of the thing that is distracting you in your life. Be that a disruptive household (don’t get rid of this, but find a way around it) or schoolwork etc…
Maybe even try finding a new passion or confiding your problems to a close friend who might be able to occupy your time.
I hope this helps – if you need someone to talk to more about it – my email should be next to my name. 🙂
Where does passion go?
I wish I knew
All things in their time I guess though that does not provide much comfort just the door for which it may return.
Based on my own experience the tighter and more desperate I attempt to hold on the sure my grip fails.
Letting go feels like resignation at times, a giving up, but it also creates space.
When I am calm, undemanding of time or attached to hope, there are times, surprised, I catch myself laughing, excited about something new, cheering for someone success, moved by a story… so the passion is still their if in a different form, the possibility as well that I wake to find the spark has caught again.
if you stop and breath for a minute, just listening to your body, really listen.
you’ll know that all those passions are stilll with you. just breath. stop letting everything else destroy it.
