Losing my passion for photography was my first death.
Sometimes, we are lucky to be told to pursue what we love. However, no one warns you that you can still end up burnt out and losing your passion even when pursuing something you love as a career. 😩
It can be so confusing and heartbreaking. For me, it felt like it was my first death. I thought I had lost something I once loved dearly and an important part of what made me, me. 🥺
It can feel like failure, how could I let myself get to the point where I don't know whether I want to continue pursuing something I once loved with all my being? Leaving me lost and confused about my future.🤔
If you have lost your passion for something you once loved, know that none of this is true, and it certainly doesn't have to be the end. You can find your way back to what you loved, and your passion can be stronger than it ever was! 🔥🌸
Death is the first step to a rebirth. It isn't a failure, it's a lesson in finding balance. Push through the darkness, you'll find the light soon, and perhaps, this is just the beginning 🪷💗🫶🏻
