The best part about being alive is learning new things. You’re never too old to try that thing you’ve always wanted to. Having hobbies has helped me become more confident overall and make new friends. I recently started taking piano lessons, it’s quite the challenge, but so exhilarating.

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…

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.

I finally started getting back in to the hobbies I once loved. I have spent so long just waking up, going through the motions, and then waiting to fall back asleep again to do it all over the next day. I have found so much enjoyment in spending time doing the things I love. So this is your reminder to pick back up the things that bring you happiness. Whether that be journaling, crocheting, knitting, biking, swimming, people-watching, or any strange thing that makes your heart happy! Don’t just be alive, wake up and actually LIVE the life you want to live.

Some of the best, most energy-filled conversations I’ve had have been with strangers at the grocery store, while in traffic, and even on customer service lines. Talk to store clerks about their weekend plans, ask the person next to you at the meat counter what they’re making for dinner, see people and be seen. It’s beautiful!!!!!!!!

I love being around my friends, but I don’t always have anything to say or anything I’d like to do together. Nothing makes me happier than a house full of friends where all of us do our separate activities in silence at the same time. Perfect way to connect and feel love, while still focusing on my interests or goals for the day.

Sometimes I want a fun drink in nice stemware without the headache. Therefore, I’ve become a bit of a non-alcoholic wine connoisseur. Am I overpaying for fancy juice and tea? Yes! Am I going to keep doing exactly that? Absolutely!
