Man it sucks when an passions, love, hobby becomes an obligations. I'm sure many know what i mean and how it feels when something you used to love to do turns into something you just want to get over with. When something you would easily volunteer to do is now the thing you regret and feel like you have to do. When that passion and flame has died down and become a barely glowing ember. It seems sad that it can burn out so quickly and then what are you supposed to do. Give up all the responsibility and possibly make enemies and leave others out to dry or just not care and hope nobody is upset?

 

Well this is how kung fu, my once passion and mistress, has begun to feel in my life. I am so torn because i don't want to leave anyone else out to hang and pick up the slack that I am leaving but I don't know how much longer i can go on like this. I feel like i HAVE to go in and i have to try and keep the morale of the school up but i don't want to at all. Maybe i am being selfish and maybe i am not thinking of others enough but i don't know what to do. I never really want to go in and practice and frankly i am tired and running out of excuses. I don't know what else to say except i really don't feel like going. All i ever do now is go into teach and then leave and I don't even pay much attention while teaching anymore. The whole school has changed and i have told people all of this before and nothing has changed since then and i find that ridiculous.

 

Not to mention that my best friend is quiting in 15 hours, and i don't know how much more i can do there without him. It may seem strange or like a bitch move on my part but he has been one of the few reasons that i kept on going in. I don't know the whole school has lost something and nobody is trying to revive it or try to save it. Not even our master really, he has turned the whole thing into an American business and it is driving everyone away slowly but surely. Then his typical Chinese personality gets in the way because he is to stubborn to show that he cares about anyone and he is to secretive to make it so we keep giving him the benefit of the doubt. Life is so fucking complex, why the hell does money change people so much???? Fuck like seriously what happened to the heart. I think breakfast club was right, "When you grow up, your heart dies."

Re:
hey there, just saw ur blog from my views thingy..
erm well.. hope u dun mind but this is what i have to say,
this steps might be of help to you..

1) motivate yourself
       ask yourself why do u keep on doing that? for who do you do those things? what is your purpose? is that still your passion?

2) start today
       dont start tomorrow or the next day, start being honest with yourself. start doing things that would help you.

3) no shortcuts
       dont take any shortcuts, you cant get to what you want that easily, you first accept the reason why u went there. and take the road ahead of you

4) find an inspiration
       find someone or something or a goal for you to be inspired. it'll boost your morale and eagerness to achieve what you want, to achieve your ultimate passion

5) be happy
       after u had done all the steps, try to be happy. if your not happy there must be wrong, go back to step 1 - 4, look for something that's missing, something essential to you.. and maybe ull find what u really want..

i hope i helped a bit..^^ goodluck then..

Re:
It may have been a phase as well, an interest that has died out perhaps? Nobody should ever feel obligated to do anything they don't want to in life. This seems to be how alot of people feel when they're in a dead end job. But it's their families and co-workers that keep them dealing with the job regardless of how much they feel obligated to fulfill a position. I sometimes feel like this when I go to work, but at the same time I've also become a supervisor of a team, so if my morale is lost then so is theirs as attitude reflects leadership. But it may be hard to deal with, but if you're feeling like this isn't something you really don't want to do, I'm sure those affected will understand sooner or later. I mean I would think of it as, is it more selfish for me to continue doing something I don't want to for the sake of others, or would it be more selfish for others to misunderstand my wishes which would ultimately make the decision even harder to deal with? I mean I would obviously choose my own wishes over the wishes of others, and I'm sure they probably would as well. It may not be easy, but it may also be a calling being neglected to do something you may even end up appreciating even more. Just as it was stated by Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence, "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness." these are the facts of life, to pursuit happiness, at all costs. Best of luck to you!
