When your passion becomes a job, is it sad?
<p>I’ve always been a very curious person, that feeling of “wow, I wish I could do that…” is not something I enjoy feeling. If I can learn something, and I’ve always felt fully capable of learning anything, I will do it.</p>
<p>I remember that a few years ago, one of the things that sparked my curiosity was breakdancing. On a somewhat more primitive YouTube than today’s, I used to search for video tutorials on how to do certain dance moves and steps. One of the channels I liked the most was from a Spanish guy who explained how to do the movements, but his channel began with a challenge: “train for 365 days.”</p>

<p>Eventually, the guy completed this challenge, and after that, he continued making videos, tutorials, etc. To avoid the imminent death of the channel right after completing the challenge. After a few years of constant work on YouTube, I remember one day the guy said, “I’m fed up, tired of dancing, that activity that used to motivate me so much, no longer does, I feel worn out, my passion has turned into a job, an obligation, and I don’t feel good about it.”</p>
