Everybody always told me that I'm more than good at writing (not in english as you will maybe point out). Many people find me the smart, creative, artistic type and some assumed I was gonna become an artist of some type. I feel like people expect more of me than what I'm doing today, but maybe it's also my inner voice.

The thing is while I'd love the idea of earning a living writing stories or something, I have absolutely no natural desire to work for it.

Worst is every minute I manage to sit a my desk to write I only wish to play videogames or watch dumb shit online instead.

On one hand I have this idea that you got to have some passion to try this sort of thing and I don't see the point of doing it as a chore.

On the other hand I don't like the idea of possibly wasted potential and I have some depressive symptoms that could explain this laziness.

>tl,dr : What to do if you may have the skills to accomplish something great many passionate people try to do, but absolutely no motivation to work for it ?
