I Need A Hobby.


I'm 25 and I don't have a passion. This knowledge really sets in and bothers me when I start to question myself.

"What do I really enjoy doing...?"

At home, I spend a majority of my time watching Netflix, pacing around the apartment looking for something to clean or lurking on the internet and getting my feelings hurt. I recall reading, sketching, roller-blading and even gaming online when I was younger. I may have outgrown several of those hobbies, but there's always a sense of loss when I find remnants of them. It's almost as if I can't relate to who I once was. I don't know if my attention span has dwindled over the years or I just haven't found what I'm particularly good at yet.

Recently, I've tried to pick up weight-lifting, yoga, painting with acrylic and cooking. There's only so much time before I'm looking for something else to do again. Instead of dabbling in things here and there, I would like to be committed to a hobby that helps me grow as a person. I don't want to be boring and go about the same crap everyone else is doing. I need to do something that will revive the imagination that is unique to me.

I fear living a stagnant life, but I try not to let it get me down. My starting goal is to stop making excuses for myself and be more open to opportunities that I would typically shy away from.

  1. I feel like this a lot. I try to say yes to all new opportunities that come my way because even if I end up hating them, at least I tried something new!
