Losing Motivation or Burning Out
And so the days go by and everyday is a struggle. The lost of motivation and finding it again -- only to lose it once more. I'm not a writer, I'm not a website expert, and I'm not a content creator. All I have is determination, and I think I'm losing that.
The downfall of others and the success of some both gets the best of me (weird right?). Before you judge and call me pessimistic or depressing, let me explain.
As I browse around, the things I've read and the stories I've hear, many people make mistakes and their work lays to waste. Websites destroyed, money wasted, and time lost. I fear I may end up on the same path. No one wants to be defeated and no one wants to watch their work burned to the ground.
As for the successful ones... maybe I am envious or jealous. I ask myself if I can be like that, if I can do that good and be one of them. And the answer always loops back to no. Huge motivation builds as I kick myself into high gear, working tirelessly and the results never seem to satisfy. And bad traffic is the worst kicker.
A full time student as a computer science major (you'd think I know more about websites and stuff but I'm completely clueless at times), working on the weekends, and maintaining a website is burning me out. I went from not doing much, playing games or just watching videos on youtube to not taking a break, working until 4am in the morning sometimes. I'm not complaining, I'm young and have the energy to work so why not?
Even as I'm writing this, ideas are coming to mind and what I want to do, but everyday is the same. Ideas come to fruition and reality rot it away.
I may burn out and I may lose motivation sometimes but I won't give up. As I said, I hate to be defeated and lose so I will persist until the day comes when I'm in the top leagues. The worst thing someone can wish for is "I wish I never gave up..." or ask "What if..?". Shoulda, woulda, coulda, been me.
So don't wish or ask, do.

Hello!
Speaking from experience, you will have your peaks and valleys, in everything you do. Just always remember things change and you will get through them.
One of the biggest lessons I had to learn here is patience. You have to be willing to put in some good time and for the long haul.
Having a little wake up call did me some good and helped me get my perspective straightened out.
Always keep your goals in mind and keep learning new things or how to improve existing things! This can help you get over your humps here and there.
If all else fails, take a nap! :)
Good Luck and best wishes!!

Who says you are -NOT- only you, and that is conditioning your mind, I wished i had studied computer science, but i knew nothing up to 3 years ago. I like the spirit of not giving up. be positive -yes you can.All the best.
