Okay. Today I’m writing one of the most interesting articles — and honestly, I’m really interested to write my thoughts about this topic: “What if you lost interest?”
Hmm??? Interest???
Question: What do you mean, Subarna? In your scenario, what’s the definition of “interest”?
My answer: In my case, interest means passion. It means being so connected to something that no matter the situation, if it calls you… you show up.
Let me give you an example.
Imagine you like someone, deeply. And if that person calls or asks you for something, you’ll do it without thinking twice, right?
That’s interest. That’s love. That’s passion.
Now imagine you’re running a company. Building something big. If you’re really passionate, you’ll show up every single day — with energy and fire.
But if suddenly you start feeling like you need a break, like you’re dragging yourself to do the work… maybe, just maybe, you’re losing interest.
Life Has Two Sides: If and If Not
We all have two sides in our life.
- If my business becomes successful, my life will be different.
- If she becomes mine, my world will change.
- If I do that one thing, everything will be better.
But there’s also the if not.
- If not, then what?
- What happens if you lose that interest? That spark? That desire?
We all have strong interests in something or someone. And sometimes, we believe so deeply that it’s our path — our purpose. But life, my friend, has a way of flipping everything when you least expect it.
So, Why Did I Ask Myself: What If You Lost Interest?
Recently, I’ve started feeling different. Slowly, I’ve been losing interest in the things I once believed were everything to me.
The things I once swore I’d never give up on, now don’t hit the same.
I’ll be honest, I’m an emotional guy. I tend to fall for people who don’t care about me.
Sounds familiar?
Yeah, like Physics.
Yes, you — Physics. I had strong feelings for you since childhood. But why didn’t you ever like me back?
So, since Physics didn’t like me, I chose CSE — Computer Science.
And in the beginning, it felt like CSE liked me too.
But now? I failed in IP — Introduction to Programming.
So what happened? I thought interest was enough. But turns out, interest without connection is just expectation.
Interest Is Not Just About Loving Something
You can have interest. You can love something deeply. But if you don’t act on it, if you don’t work for it, with it, through it, it fades. Slowly. Quietly.
That’s the thing no one tells you.
And sometimes, we keep holding onto things, not because they’re still right for us, but because they once were.
Final Words
So, what if you lost interest?
Maybe it’s a sign. Not to quit. But to reflect.
To ask:
- Am I still doing this for the right reasons?
- Is it time for a reset, or a redirection?
Because interest is not a one-time thing. It’s a relationship and relationships take effort.
And if you’re reading this feeling the same way I did… confused, unsure, disappointed… remember this:
- You’re not broken.
- You’re just growing.
Sometimes losing interest is the first step to finding something even deeper.
