regressing back into your teenage hobbies

I was a lil weirdo as a teenager, my hobbies consumed my life and my every thought. As I grew older, I no longer had time for what I used to love to do—I slowly became what I feared I would become: a responsible adult who did not have time for fun. When I realised this, I fell into a black hole of reliving my old hobbies, and it’s honestly so freeing. I feel so content, I look forward to going home from work and sitting in bed while I watch the shows I used to binge or read the genre of manga I used to love. It’s a comforting sense of nostalgia, as if that free part of me never died. My mood has lightened and I feel myself being more warm towards others around me, I was surprised at the sheer impact of how simple the pleasures can turn your life around. Make time for your childhood self, they’re waiting for you to come back home.

do you need to know the child you?

i think it’s important to spend more time learning about the you now. i can honor who i was when i was younger without relating to my immature ideals. i also don’t remember much about my childhood, but from what i do remember, i am pretty much exactly opposite in a lot of things. i would hate if my personality reflected some of the things i was taught growing up. i also changed my name a few years ago, which makes me view young me as an entirely different person. but i really really like who i am now, and i’ve been intentionally exploring lots of things to find out what i actually like, connect to, and what brings me life. don’t get stuck on the past (:

be bored and become a child

one of the biggest things is letting yourself be bored. i feel lucky for all of us who missed being ipad kids and a little dread for the ones who didn't. so much of the life and personality and individual perception i have now came from the little games i used to play in my head and the way you think when you have nothing else to do i finally just started getting that back. for years i'd always pull my phone out, never go a minute without music or a podcast or some other media injected straight into my brain, and i think i forgot a little how to generate. how to output and create something of your own instead of constantly consuming. but now i walk slowly and see the little worlds in each flower, in each inch of water. everything is so beautiful if you make it so in your head. i feel like the child version of you is the truest and purest, and most of our lives are spent trying to get back to them, to undo all the layers of alienation and distraction we've placed upon ourselves.
