Do you give up on hobbies when they aren't fun anymore?
Or is the fact you aren't having fun part of a bigger problem?

I won't be StoryTelling for the VHS in the fall.
I may not be continuing my mage game, which I still don't have a good idea for tonight.
Nothing that flows.

My gaming experiences as a player have all sucked ass lately.
Womped at cards again last night.

I'm sick of it.
Sick.

Take a break. Try some new stuff n the meanwhile. Trust me on this. You may find yourself returning to some of your game hobbies later, with better perspective, and feeling refreshed. Alternately, you may find you have no real interest in playing anymore.

Either way, you're bound to feel a lot less burned out.

A win win situation.

There's a sense of sadness, don't you think, in leaving something you've invested time, sweat, and tears in isn't there? By leaving, it feels like the time you've invested has been wasted. But, if you can look back and good times and good memories, then even if the experience was sour when you left, the time was not wasted.

I'm just lacking a new venue to explore at the moment. But I won't know how to fill that time, if I don't free some of it up. And it's not like I'm leaving anything forever... necessarily.
