I didn't lose my passion for design.

I just buried it under everyone else's urgency.
There was a season where I opened my laptop every morning and felt… nothing.

No excitement. No ideas. Just a blank canvas staring back at me like an accusation.
I was taking every job that came. Saying yes to 11pm "urgent" requests. Redoing work 7 times for clients who didn't know what they wanted. Charging little. Sleeping less.

I told myself it was hustle. It wasn't. It was burnout wearing hustle's clothes.

Here's what was really happening:
I had no boundaries — clients owned my time 24/7
I was doing quantity, not quality — volume killed my creativity
I never rested — I thought rest was for people who weren't serious
I had no creative outlet — every design was for someone else, never for me
I was comparing my chapter 2 to other designers' chapter 20
The creativity doesn't disappear. It just goes quiet when you stop protecting it.
What brought me back:
I took 5 days off. No client work. No Canva. No Instagram scroll. I designed one thing just for me — no brief, no approval, no revision. Just joy.
I came back with more ideas than I'd had in months.
Then
I set rules:
No work after 8pm
Maximum 3 active clients at a time
One personal design project every month
Weekly rate review — if I'm stressed about money, I'm undercharging
The result?
Better work. Better clients. Better sleep. And I actually love opening my laptop again.
Burnout isn't a badge of honour. It's a warning sign you've been ignoring yourself.
