A bright future
Hey there random stranger on the Internet, I'm Leanghok and I'm a 13 year old programmer and I dream of becoming a software engineer once I'm older. Reading that probably made you think "oh that's pretty cool, you already figured out what you want to do at a young age, you're gonna have a bright future ahead of you" and I've heard that a lot (especially from my friends on the Internet). But the thing is, I'm not sure if that's gonna become true, I'm not sure if I'm gonna be able to live up to that expectation.
These days, I don't code much which is strange because I used to come home from school feeling excited to finish my todo list project. I honestly miss those days where I could sit in front of my computer for the whole day to work on a project. Nowadays, I can't even bring myself to open up a text editor let alone, writing code. I've been struggling with this for like 2 - 3 months now and I'm not sure if it's burnout or I'm losing interest in programming and I really hope it's not the latter.
I'm feeling lost. Am I supposed to take a break from programming for a while or something?
Lately, I've been trying new stuff like game hacking and game development which taught me some cool stuff but I still don't feel the same joy as when I was first learning to code.
I'm a bit afraid that I might not be able to live up to my own and others expectations since I don't even feel like coding anything anymore. I don't want to quit programming, I still love it but getting myself to program is really difficult and even if I was able to get myself to program, it would last like 30 minutes before I close my text editor.
That's pretty much all it and if you're still reading this, I would like to thank you a lot for taking your precious time to read something like this. Have a nice day/night, random person on the Internet!
(sorry for all the grammar mistakes, im bad at english)
