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.

      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 of

      I’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.
