Currently listening to: I Need A Doctor – Dr. Dre feat Eminem, Skylar Grey

I’m about to lose my mind
You’ve been gone for so long, I’m runnin’ out of time
I need a doctor, call me a doctor
I need a doctor, doctor
To bring me back to life

Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time

  • Going to raves, EDC, Coachella. Once upon a time, I loved the energy, the music, and the feeling of being lost in the crowd. But one bad experience changed everything for me. I’ll save that story for another post.
  • Gaming. I was deep into it with the late nights, long seshes, constant invites from friends to hop online. But after a while, it started getting in the way of my sleep. I even fell asleep while playing quite a bit. I couldn’t keep up anymore because school and work were getting in the way. I stopped abruptly, leaving my team and leagues hanging.
  • Chasing food trucks. My friends and I were all about the hunt, tracking down the latest pop-ups and standing in ridic lines for the hottest new eats. Now? I just don’t have the time for it anymore and it’s all about convenience now.
  • Overbooking myself. Up until this past January, my schedule was a disaster. I’d double, triple-book myself, running from one commitment to the next. By the end of the year, I was cooked. Now, I’ve learned to say no and actually enjoy my free time.
  • Watching the Oscars. I used to care but not so much anymore. With that being said, I’ll absolutely still show up for Oscar parties.
  • Accommodating others. I used to bend over backward to make sure everyone was happy. I no longer care anymore. Show up or don’t, either way I’ll be fine.
  • Watching the Super Bowl. I don’t anything about football and up until last year, I would go to my friends’ parties and watch the game. My coworkers and I joined the fantasy football league. I picked the Chiefs and put my name in random boxes (I didn’t know what the boxes represented and was going to inquire about it but never got to since I was busy at work). The only player I know in the upcoming game is Travis Kelce.
  • Outgrowing friendships. I’ve let go of the idea that every friendship needs to last forever. If the conversations feel forced and I’m no longer emotionally invested, I’m alright with walking away.
  • FOMO (fear of missing out). I felt like I had to be everywhere, doing everything. Now? I do whatever the hell I wanna do, when I want to, and if I’m missing outβ€”oh well.
  • Procrastinating. I used to put things off constantly, trying to convince myself that I worked better under pressure. But it was just making my life harder. Now, I get things done ASAP because the only person I’m hurting by procrastinating is myself.
