ah, the tragedy of youth.
i can't say things ALWAYS get better with age, but generally they do.
look, technology is constantly in flux. there are literally hundreds of thousands of people who have hit a brick wall when they followed their passions. simply because what they wanted to do suddenly wasn't so popular anymore. but if it's your desire, you MUST go for it. have you ever thought about incorporating your passion into something more modern? comic books may not sell so hot right now, but that's where you ucould come in with a whole new way of looking at it. show the world that you can pay tribute to what you love in a modern setting. anyone who does anything in the world of entertainment has had to go through what you're going through. it's those who bridge the gap between the old and the new--THEY are the successful ones.
desires wane through various psychological and environmental factors. first you must get some motivation. do every little thing you can in order to make life as positive as possible in every circumstance you face (update your look, pre-plan and organize things, be really sociable, pay off debts, etc...). it is crucial you feel good about yourself before you say you have no passion for anything. talking to a professional really does help in that department. if it turns out you're depressed, great! ..not that you're depressed, but at least you know there is a medical reason behind your lackluster outlook. clinical depression makes EVERYTHING look bad, not matter how good you felt about something in the past. i live in canada so it's easy for me to suggest going to a doctor as every visit is free. but ANY support group, clinic, etc. can help you on your way.
AS YOU BEGIN TO FEEL BETTER, you'll notice you enjoy things more. your overall outlook and disposition alter DRASTICALLY and you'll find your lucid mind can handle almost anything. it sucks for a while, but the key is regaining that sense of control in your life. the rest (desires, goals, etc...) will come naturally.
and to everyone else who's in debt-- SOLELY focus on paying it off. NOTHING feels better than coming out of debt and into savings.
life will be uneventful for a while (as your cash will be going back to the bank), but once it's done, you will sleep the best sleep of your life. the sense of freedom will allow you to spend your time learning more about what you love. and you'll really love it more because you don't have that hellish burden on your shoulders anymore.
so, to recap:
1. understand your burdens (if necessary, talk to someone).
2. work to eliminate as many as you can
3. as a result, you'll feel better--thus giving you that peace of mind necessary to enjoy and follow your passions.
