not feeling the love anymore....
16/f
i play volleyball and i have been for a long time. like 8 years. I'm on my schools varsity team and its my first year on it. I also play on an elite junior olympic team. so basically i can just say i play the sport all year round. I only get about a month off of it. so my question is... i'm not sure if i want to keep playing the sport. I mean i love the sport and i always will. its just that i never look forward to practices, and sometimes i even cry after practices or games. Since i'm new on my high school team i dont get any playing time but i know for sure that next year i will be a starter until i'm a senior. I've already decided that when i go to college i dont want to play volleyball then. but I'm not sure if i should quit now. because sometimes i love it, but sometimes i don't. and my mom has always said that if i don't enjoy something then whats the point of doing it. and honestly, sometimes it feels like a HUGE waste of time and instead i could be doing something better. so i need help on deciding what to do now. maybe i just need a break because i have been playing for so long. but i'm not sure.... help!!

Maybe give some free advice about: Sports?
I know that once you've started something you're really into it at first and very determined to push for it. But after awhile, you just think of it as being tedious and pointless because you aren't as determined as you used to be when you first started.
If you think that you're not gaining much out of volleyball anymore, then it's ok to take a break from it~ don't feel guilty if you make a decision to stop something for a little bit. And it also sounds like you want to try something new and different. There's nothing wrong with that, because everyone wants to experience a change.
Do what you think that could be used for your own benefit. There's a limit to what a person can handle...and can't handle.
I hoped this helped you! I wish you luck! =3

To tell you the truth I was in this position with acting. I have been acting since I was six. I am a Theatre Arts Major at my highschool and a senior. Last year, my junior year I dropped acting the first semester because I was like this is a huge waste of time, I'm sick of it. blah blah blah. Needless to say I am back into acting. You know what brought me back? The fact that I could try out so many different subjects but nothing compared to standing onstage delivering a momlogue and the final applause at the end. All I am saying is, is that if you love something, its okay to take a break from it and see if you still really love it. I love acting and I honestly cannot imagine my life without it.
The best advice I can give you is to follow your heart :) You need to find what you love to do, what honestly makes you happy, then go for it, b/c until then, youll just feel frustrated and confused. I've been there, I lived it.
Good luck!! :)

well you have to ask yourself this:
do you feel like it's a bigger waste of time if you stop now and let all the hard work you put into the sport go to waste or keep continuing the sport when you could be doing other things?
good luck :)
