Old hobbies you want to get back into

[(Anonymous)]

I just realized how long it's been since I've done some real hiking and/or camping and it makes me sad. I stopped because my dog was my adventure buddy but she's old and can't go, so I just....didn't go either. The idea of going out without her and leaving her at home makes me really emotional, but I also really miss being active and hiking.

Baking! I have so much baking but never do it much. Though, I made an amazing cheesecake a couple months ago.

ANything physical. But a chronic illness will do that to a person.
Anything crafty. Ditto. Shaking hands and not being able to sit up for long ditto.
Writing. The pandemic and having to keep an elderly, fragile relative and myself alive and safe took the last of my energy and destroyed the last if my health. Writing is hard, ergo, no more writing.

I dabbled in watercolor painting and text-based art in GIMP over the last year and a half. Time on a city advisory board has left less time for those hobbies, and I rather miss them.

I'll echo the baking thing.

I was so into baking. And I believe had I kept baking and honing my craft I'd be a pretty good baker by now.

Depression and moving into a place with a small, badly designed kitchen really demotivated me in the past 5-ish years. I've been thinking about baking chocolate chip cookies for months, but just thinking about the work that goes into making the cookies and cleaning the kitchen makes my brain tired.

I do want to bake again though. Cooking and baking can be really therapeutic but I feel like I need a change of environment.

Archery. Stopped doing it in pandemic (I have nowhere to shoot so I need professional place) now I am to anxious to return.
Reading. I stopped reading at one point and just... can't.

Writing. I considered myself a writer more than an artist/painter for the longest time until I noticed I almost exclusively draw/paint and never really write anymore. But I have no interest in writing in my native language and am too self-conscious to write anything other than shortfic in English.

My native dialect is almost pathologically obscure and partially maritime (spoken only in the open ocean).

I still wanna write in it ( James Joyce famously did for approximately 15 years ).

However, my neurotic need for outside approval is huge. Also, my people’s need for science fiction in my dialect is practically none. All the Italian booksellers who sell science fiction only do so if it’s translated from a foreign language, written for young adults, or in some kind of comic book format. The local publishers only tolerate dialect type books if they are cookbooks, poetry chapbooks, or art contest compilations.

I feel like I’ve painted myself in a corner.
