When you said that it became like a chore I understand what you mean by that, but that happens with everything you do. Sports, games, arts, even your job you can like at first but than it gets annoying tedious and you don't want to do it anymore, but that period is not forever soon you start to appreciate it as much again. I've been through that process recently with a sport that I play tournaments and practice in: I loved it when I started out then I became annoyed with it and didn't want to play it, but then I fell in love with it again. But what pushed me through the annoying part is the fact that I knew good will come out of it, now I don't know maybe you don't think any good will comeout of magic, maybe, I mean people do magic for the reactions that you get, usually, if you don't enjoy them, then there is nothing to push you to pracctice and stuff.
But who knows? because I quit magic for about a year earlier, and then I got back on stronger than ever. Maybe you'll be back one day, when you are bored, who you gonna call? Theory11
