Found myself starting to think about trying some new thing that sounded cool, and realized it might be fun to think about all of the random interests, crafts, hobbies and pursuits I’ve chased on tangents to my life. It’s easy to feel like a bum or a failure for dropping hobbies and that could cause hesitation in starting something new, but on sheer volume I bet some of us have impressive lists. Requirement is that it never made you real dependable income and wasn’t a career for you. Aside from that, sky is wide open. It can be something you tried for a few weeks, years, or still do. What’s your trail of hobbies?
