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.

When I find myself getting into this state, it’s usually because the things that used to excite me or give me purpose, don’t anymore. Recently I found myself getting in that exact state. Totally uninspired by everything. The school year had just ended, I had just gotten out of a relationship, and I no longer had something to fill my day, or give me purpose. So I started boxing! A hobby that makes zero sense with who I am as a person, which is kind of why i love it. I love that it’s something i am starting from scratch and it’s fun to see my progress develop. It’s also given me a new community outside of my normal routine. So i recommend diving into a hobby that might seem unexpected and focusing your energy into that, you never know what it could turn into.

I have so many hobbies and am always picking up more and trying new crafts and practicing new skills in my alone time and being a jack of many trades master of none is such an absolute vibe
