Oooh I feel you friend, sometimes my life just feels so loud, quick, and tiring, I lose my motivation to create what I used to love, it's like there is no energy for it. The best cure I can do is to look at my old projects, it could be my old sketchbooks or my old diary. It might not help much but remember how you used to be passionate about the stuff you like may change your mind.

It happens when we age: the busier we get with life, we pay less attention to those projects we do in our spare time because other stuff takes priority.
But, it doesn't mean the passion will go forever, I have my periods when I have 0 interest in creating anything, but one way or another, creativity finds its way in other creative forms or it can even come back like it used to in the beginning. I remember my comic was on hiatus for 15 years due to untreated depression, but in the meantime I discovered painting and what making fan arts is like. Nowadays, as I reach half my life, I hardly get to draw due to time, but I discovered photography thanks to cellphones having cameras, and, so far, I've been pretty happy doing so. But it was my own process, not forced nor planned, I just needed things to follow their natural course. Let time to do its thing
