Forgotten Hobbies?

[DK****]

What are some hobbies dreams or aspirations that you once had but no longer seem obtainable? I am or at least was a relatively decent artist who would fill sketchbooks and buy terabyte hard drives to hold all of the stuff I've created digitally with my favorite software. However as of recently my creativity and love for art has been replaced with the constant ups and downs of pills, car emergencies and overall life. I want to get back into it soon just got to find that drive again.

That sounds a lot like being depressed. Gotta make a change and get to a point where you're focused on enjoying life instead of focused on surviving, and the rest will come naturally, eventually ❤️

It’s kind of devastating but I used to be an excellent illustrator. It died down almost a decade ago and it never coming back.. Now I kind of always hesitate whenever I grab a pencil or pen. The hobby died when little me realize the hobby wont grant me a comfortable life. That, and it must’ve got to do with my family said the hobby is useless. Little me was utterly heartbroken and left it all together. Maybe one day I would get back on it.

After my brain *** I thought i good never do the samelike i usted too. Yeah i was right about that. But i do It anyway your art IS not going be the same,and It takes a lot of effort. But It IS so worth It! In your case, just sit down make It a habbit. In the beginning It IS not the art that matters It IS about rediscover the joy of It. Make It in small peaces. You Will get there!!

Little you should start doing It again, the growingups of little you were in the wrong. Did It make you Happy while doing It?

I used to practice piano everyday and performed a few times. Now I'm usually too tired to focus on practicing and rather do something physical. I will pick it back up when I have more time and concentration.

I was classically trained in music, but for some reason as i got older my interest waned, I would do three or four rehearsal's each week and a concert evert few weeks or so, but i had the energy of youth back then.  Day to day life and paying the bills top keep a roof over my head and food on the table became priority.  I have more time now but little enthusiasm to do that as a regular routine again.

I do chill at length though with my various tastes in music, especially the Post Punk era etc

Thankyou for your empathy. I did.. I had a rough childhood so drawing was one of my best coping skills. I agree though. The adults were fucked up. It’s kind of heartbreaking how now whenever I try to pick up a pencil, I feel really hollow. But I believe one day the sparks will come back. Well, hopefully. Lmao

I used to write music about a few years ago. I lost the habit probably I was too focused on getting the right guitar sound for it. However, I recently watched a JHS video about that, and he said it’s time better spent creating music than to chase after someone’s tone. He quoted Buddy Rich saying that, “Great thieves steal and not get caught”. That has made me realized that I want to go back to writing again this year.

When I was young (many many years ago :p) I used to like making models using airfix kits. However grew out of it in my ***age years. Closest I come to that now is building lego with neice and nephews when I visit, or the very odd set I get for xmas now and then.
