Picking up a hobby you loved as a kid

As I get older I get more self aware. I try to understand what I really like and what to make time for. If there’s something you loved and then strayed away from because you made new friends or moved to a new place, find time to pick whatever that is back up. Go dust off the old guitar and look up youtube tutorials and get back into it. Btw this actually leads me into my next rec…

returning to old hobbies

once you turn 26-ish it seems like you're assigned an Adult Hobby, which usually falls into either rock climbing, ceramics, or pickleball. it's great to start a new craft and sticking to it and mastering it. but sometimes there's something in the past with unfinished business. about 8 months ago i started violin lessons again, after a 6 year break in playing, which was preceded by about 12 years of violin lessons/experience. it sucks going back to something you used to be good at and not getting the "just like riding a bike" feeling, but it feels great to know that you are feeling like you're going to be able to master something you dedicated a large part of your life to. if you're someone who has picked up a lot of hobbies but never followed through, it's never too late.

accepting that you’re not trendy and cool

tried reading dante alighieri’s inferno. key emphasis on tried. i got bored and realised a story written in poem form is not my typa beat. i tried because it seemed like what all the indie hipsters who are well versed would read, and that i would look cool and niche—but it just cost me $25. i prefer crazy detailed paragraphs rather than a line by line story. anyways

stop saying “i’m sick”!!

saying “i’m sick” when you’re sick is boring. instead, here are some more funky fresh and cool ways to disclose that your immune system has been highjacked (it’s time to revive these sayings from the dead!): “i am indisposed” “i am taken ill” “i am feeling out of sorts” “i am suffering from a bilious attack” “i have been seized by an ague” “i am afflicted with a malaise” “i have taken to my bed” “the vapours have overcome me” “i have a touch of the influenza” “the rheumatism plagues me” “i am laid low with a fever” “i am afflicted with a troublesome ailment” you’re welcome
