Or just about anything in life, when you get busy, or you have a new hobby, you tend to sacrifice your old passion for it. Been playing music for about 15 years now, and suddenly lost my passion for it. Even not much interest in buying new gears. Playing in a band helps keep it alive, but I barely have time to practice anymore.  I remember last time I was so excited to learn all kinds of Children of Bodom songs and shred like YJM or PG, now when I pick up my guitar I just play some short riffs and that's about it. No more interest in learning new songs.

Taking grade 8 violin exam this May, and I don't even have the motivation to practice much for it. Getting worried that I'll be like my friends soon, selling off their guitars as time goes by. I'm not even married yet so it would probably get worse when I have a family.
