Every so often a project might make me remember why I fell in love with this industry. But other times, that enjoyment and passion feels far away. Do you still feel a passion for the industry?

I do and then I speak to a colleague or editor, and I am cool

I feel this, me and my whole team will bounce off each other with ideas (which won’t ever happen) but it defo picks up the mood

I'll be honest, right now I don't feel any passion for the industry. I am extremely burned out and tired of working. I would love to work on something that makes me feel that passion again.

I really hope you give yourself some time and that passion comes back to you !

Some days I do, and it hits me hard in the best way. But other days, it feels like I am just getting through the motions. I think it is normal... passion can flicker, but it does not mean it is gone.

Agreed, it totally depends on what day it is and who I talk to

Lately, I find the passion has shifted. It is not always excitement anymore. sometimes it is quiet pride, or just knowing the work matters. I do not chase constant inspiration now, I just try to stay connected to why I started. That feels more sustainable

This is really great advice actually, being proud of my work is something that’s always been really important to me
