If you’re a perfectionist and you make things for a living, sometimes u gotta have another outlet u can just be mid at. I picked up film photography and idk what I’m doing but im having fun!

so i’m a pattern cutter & sewing machinist by trade, and i used to be a professional yoyoer. i also have some expertise in carpentry & metalwork
these all work for me because they require a lot of focus and i’m using my hands constantly. i think it’s something about having to be focused for safety reasons with all these that keeps me locked in, and finishing stuff is rewarding bc it was in your brain and now you can hold it or use it. that’s a high i chase too
but i don’t do as well with things that are more abstract or digital because i just get distracted and stop caring

Picking up a hobby that doesn’t revolve around content creation and documentation. it can still involve media consumption but documentation i believe stops my creativity and my will to continue freely dead in its tracks. And for what? so others will know?

One day I'm super into boxing, the next I'm buying a bike. I'm writing 1/4 of a screenplay, I'm learning to make 4-5 fancy cocktails. I'm ordering a jump rope, a kendama, a yo-yo. I'm attempting to learn tennis by hitting a ball against a wall for half an hour (once).
Picking up hobbies and then dropping them after a few tries is nothing to be ashamed of. It should not discourage you for fear of being called a quitter or flippant. The secret is knowing that you're better for getting out there and ceaselessly pursuing further opportunities for joy in your life.

I know this is borderline psycho energy but the hardest part of the morning is getting out of bed and this takes care of that for you. Bonus points if you have a big ole sweatshirt sitting there waiting for you
