One of the reasons I've been very quiet lately is that I've grown very... apathetic to speedrunning lately, if that makes any sense. Not just to that, but also to some extent to streaming as well (not as much, though). It just feels like such a contrast compared to before (1/10)

Last year, and in 2018, I used to stream and do runs (and practice!) almost everyday, for hours upon hours. I was well involved in the community (mainly BotW at the time), and despite it being really difficult, I always managed to push myself towards my goals (2/10)

These days, it's a wonder if I even finish one run in a few weeks. And most of the time, I do it more because I feel like I 'must' do a run, rather than genuine desire to do so. And plus, I've completely detached myself from the community as a whole (3/10)

A part of me DEEP DOWN knows that I want to keep speedrunning, but I don't know, at the same time I've simply lost that drive, I guess. It's to a point I barely even have the curiosity to keep up with 'speedrunning news', if that makes sense (4/10)

That is to say... a part of me STILL WANTS to complete the 3D Zelda Challenge, like I had started a year ago, but the more I think about it, the more I feel like it's more out of a 'I must finish what I started' feeling rather than actual desire to do it (5/10)

Most of my attach to the speedrunning community finds itself in @bingothon as that is something I've invested myself A LOT lately... So despite everything, I know I can still work hard on something that is related to speedrunning, and I feel so lucky to be part of it (6/10)

Often times, I've been told that the solution to this was to 'take a break from speedrunning', but I feel like this is only a part of the solution. Something I've been thinking is that perhaps, what I need to do is to pickup a new hobby? (7/10)

I feel like that advice is too 'passive' if that makes sense. it's important to do so for people to do so when they feel like that about speedrunning, I agree, but I feel like this energy that is poured into speedrunning needs to be poured somewhere else for that to work (8/10).

I know I'm just kind of rambling at this point, ahah, but really the point is that I'd like to ask, what are your other hobbies outside of speedrunning? A part of me feels like getting the spark of another hobby will help spark that speedrunning flame again... I hope, lol (9/10)

Oh, and yes I still will do the 3D Zelda Challenge and the accompanying videos... but I I will do them on my own pace. That's it, ahah. As we always like to say in this community, NeverGiveUp! - I'm really just trying my best to stay as positive as I can (10/10)
