  • Losing interest in a hobby

    Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time?

    Several, though I may bring some back on occasion. I try too many things to maintain them all, so I haven’t played much accordion or fiddle lately, nor ridden my bike or done creative writing. I used to do more art back in college. A three-month drawing challenge helped with that, but time not drawing can be used reading books, exploring new cities or trails, and doing other novel things. I guess things feel complicated when hobbies get put on the shelf, but I shouldn’t feel guilty at using time in other pursuits. Like a good book, it is there when I need it. I don’t study every language with the goal of fluency, but some I just want an “ajimi” taste of. The same seems true for hobbies.
