passions

When I was a kid, I played with telescopes and built rockets, talk philosophy and write stories. I'd read about these and other things and daydream about them for hours. Now in my mid-20's, I haven't felt that kind of wonder in more than a decade. I work a job I don't find interesting, my fun consists of concerts and bars because I fool myself into thinking that's what I'm supposed to be doing. I've become a cliche. I'm bored in a lot of my leisure activities because they don't excite me, so to friends and strangers alike, I look boring.

I wish I fell into a whole lot of money. I'd quit my job, buy a badass telescope and start doing astrophotography. I'd build giant model rockets that go miles in the air. I'd do these things and stay up all night being excited about it, and people would be drawn to me because I beamed energy.

 

You can still do that stuff. You just have to make it work around your other responsibilities.

 

It's all a matter of priorities. Your job isn't stimulating, find a new one that is. Save money that can be spent on your desired hobbies.

 

I came to really hate my job and it started getting me down when I was at home as well, so I decided that I had to leave and start enjoying things again. It was one of the best decisions I have made!

 

Well I don’t like my current job either but it pays well so I persevere :coffee:

The difference is I use my free time to do things I really enjoy doing like playing sports and other outdoor activities that I only dream about while stuck here in this plush but not overly ostentatious cubicle
