Does anyone else have periods of falling out of love with printmaking?

After I first got into linocut maybe 5 years ago, I REALLY got into it for maybe 2 years and then suddenly fell out of love with the process.

I gave it a break for a year and then found myself wanting to pick it back up again. Suddenly the cycle begins again - I've been really enjoying it for the last 2 years right up until the last print I made, where instead of the usual joy I'd get upon the reveal of the first print, I was suddenly sick of it again.

I love seeing other people's work, I love the artform, but I don't love it for me. A big part of me wants to carry on making prints but I seem to have an active aversion to it at the moment. Just wondering if anyone else goes through similar cycles?
