stop trying to adopt odd hobbies and then give up on them after talking about them so extensively

guess what, the indian cooking thing has become an engrossing hobby- a hobby I didn’t expect or anticipate and therefore will never give it up bwa ha ha ha. Take that!

Sometimes, and this was mostly in the past when I was a child, I’d fall into a hobby and it would run it’s course. That’s to be expected. However, as I’ve gotten older hobbies, and everything else I do, are more about “image” and I start to get into something just because it would make me seem interesting. Partially, this is because I don’t seem genuinely interested in doing much.

So formerly, I genuinely interested myself in the hobby and allowed myself to get lost in them. I rarely spoke about them and only did them for my own pleasure.

Getting started into a hobby under false pretenses is what I do now. I get the “stuff” I need, and then talk about it more than I actually do it, and then I eventually give it up because the interest required to keep me going is lacking. Maybe if I get them all down I can more easily stop myself in the future- too often I give up on something and allow myself to erase it from memory (unless, of course, I have “stuff” of it still hanging around)

the idea that I will someday play the flute again that prevents me from selling the thing (same with the banjo)
