Hope all are alright. Anyone picked up any cool new hobbies lately? Anyone play harp? I’m thinking of picking it up, I already play quite a few instruments, but harp has the highest initial investment of any I’ve done so far.
I have been picking up hobbies at an alarming rate lately. Got into custom keyboards, crochet, bonsai, magic (card tricks) possibly something else I’ve forgotten, too. I think it’s probably a sign that something is wrong but let’s not worry about it.
Depending on how long you keep those hobbies up you just described adhd
Want to learn to play the guitar -> buy a cheap, used guitar -> try to learn one song -> never touch it again
Want to start gaming -> build a decent-enough gaming computer -> only use it to browse the internet and play Minecraft sometimes
Want to start streaming -> download OBS -> never even open it
Want to get into parkour -> can’t find any spots that look good to a complete beginner within ten minutes -> yeah well maybe not
Want to learn calligraphy -> get a fancy pen -> learn the basics -> now I’m not interested in it any more
Want to get back into drawing -> start a rough sketch -> don’t look at it for a week -> start a new sketch -> lose interest in drawing again
Want to start photography -> get a low-end camera -> go out and take some nice photos -> maybe even edit them -> share a few of them on social media -> randomly stop
Want to get into woodworking -> plan a project -> buy wood -> build half ofI’m really glad that I started a few hobbies many years ago, before my mental health went down the drain, and those are the ones that stuck around. Except for photography, I just kinda lost interest in that after a handful of years.
