#multipassionate

[iconwannabe]

you know it is ok to be multipassionate right? It is ok if you don't want to sit with one thing forever. you are curious and hungry for different kinds of knowledge and it is ok. What is not ok is to not do anything about it.

btw i need you to make weird stuff. i need you to make stuff that only you could make. like, stuff that is already very uniquely yours, but then exaggerated even further to the point that you absolutely know that nobody else is ever going to make that thing. if you have an idea, then letting it die is the worst possible outcome. so i need you to make the weird thing and put it out there

why have one hobby when you can have all of them

Introduction

hello, stranger

it seems that you have come across my blog, so i suppose i should introduce myself

hi, my name is wia

well, not really, but for the purpose of my internet presence, that's what i call myself

as you can probably see, i'm new to tumblr, so please be patient with me

i'm from a town in the czech republic (czech blog @ztraty-a-nalezy) , currently studying at a grammar school, i'm a capricorn, introvert, atheist

if you ever get a feeling you might know me irl, please just block and leave

i am queer, use she/they pronous, but i'm still in the closet

i speak czech, english (B2–C1), german (B1–2) and spanish (A1–2)

i am a multipassionate person who refuses to make sideblogs and puts everything here, sorting it by tags

(or at least i'm planning on doing that, who knows how it will actually work out lol)

something about my interests:

sorry i tend to overshare when it comes to my hobbies, this is gonna be long

Music:

i sing in a choir, play the guitar, and am trying to learn the piano by myself, there's always a song playing in my head and you will most likely catch me singing it out loud (i've been singing Let it snow for a year now)

i would love to get into songwriting, but i haven't yet found the courage

i mostly enjoy pop music but also listen to folk, rock(-ish music idk), country and then just anything i like

currently, my favourite artists include Taylor Swift, Xana, Sophie Pecora, Ed Sheeran, Maggie Lindemann and MANY more

Literature:

from time to time i write poetry in my native language and very rarely also in english, i've been thinking about posting it on here, but rn that's too scary, maybe someday

i also write prose, i currently have one wip that i've been working on for a few years now, but i'm kinda lost and procrastinate a lot

as to reading, i really enjoy it but also don't do it as often as i would like to, i mostly pick up YA mystery/thrillers and books with queer themes

Studying:

i'm a straight A student, but not that i would study a lot, i'm that person that everybody is jealous of because they get good grades without trying much (i'm sorry, but also why should i apologise)

overall i love learning new information about basically any field in the universe (geography, psychology, history, biology, art, literally anything)

that however results in the fact that i know something about everything but haven't studied anything in depth

i enjoy learning languages as well

recently, i discovered the concept of a second brain and am trying to build one in the obsidian app

i'm also currently writing a paper on graph theory implementation in maps (maths, coding and stuff)

Crafts:

this is probably the branch of my interests that i overlook the most and never stick to any of it for a long time

i make bracelets - out of threads or beaded ones

i kinda crochet sometimes, but nothing big since i never learned how to properly

from time to time i like to draw something, but i mostly love to admire art that other people made and then fantasise about being able to do the same

i enjoy photography and making digital collages

sometimes i do some origami, in general i enjoy diy tutorials wheter they are about practical stuff or just silly little creations

Sports:

i do gymnastics, not in the high-level serious american way, but very low key, i started as a little kid and haven't stopped since, and eventhough i objectively suck at it (i can barely do a front walkover), i just love the sport, i've also started coaching the little kids

i am a member of a czech sports organization called Sokol

besides that i like hiking, swimming and cross-country skiing

i would love to learn climbing, snowboarding and get into calisthenics

Movies/series:

tbh, i don't really watch anything, and i left the majority of these unfinished, but here you go:

castle

rizzoli & isles

bones

the mentalist

killing eve

house md

grey's anatomy, station 19 (watched just a ton of marina compilations lol)

lucifer

once upon a time

sherlock

gilmore girls

taskmaster

the traitors (czech version)

as to movies, i really don't know lol, i watch czech fairytales

Other:

i keep a journal, where i mostly write about my daily life and thoughts, but from now and then i also make a scrapbooky page or two, other than that i keep it very simple, definitely not aesthetic or posting worthy

i enjoy solvig the rubik's cube, crosswords, puzzles and also the NYT games

recently i joined a theater club at our school

as creepy as it may be, i have to admit that i love people watching and i can get a bit obsessive about middle-aged actresses

there's plenty of skills and activities i want to pick up but currently just don't have the space to:

cooking, baking

sewing, embroidery

playing the saxophone, violin, literally ANY instrument

yoga, meditation

web design (nekoweb, neo-cities)

dance, clogging

chess

if you read this whole post, thank you so much

would you like to be my friend maybe?

i want to meet new people here and if we share any of these interests, or the experience of being multipassionate, let's talk! <3

[josiebelladonna]

i'm reading this article about how ai could possibly destroy us economically if ol' donny doesn't do it first and i came to the last slide and...

read that last line.

i want to make it abundantly clear that i have actually never liked talking about finding a job because when i did in 2014-2015 with my emotionally dead family, i didn't hear the end of it. in fact, when i tried to explain why i couldn't find a job/still can't, i, like far too many people my age, would either get dismissed as "lazy" or i'd hear "we know how hard it is", to which i say: no, you don't. your generation never had to deal with what mine is currently dealing with and is still dealing with even a whole decade later.

i'm also hearing "don't give up", to which i say, "gee, thanks, you're weaker than i originally thought", especially when i applied to pretty much anything that piqued my interest since i got here a few months ago. "don't give up" is one of those many, many phrases i heard so many times that it's just noise at this point ("you're not alone" is another one - yes, i know i'm not alone, can you help me?)

one thing my dad likes to do is argue with me. i'll present to him what's happening right now, i'll show him the reality of things (for example: the tariffs, fucking ai, the fact that everyone just *had to* get a bachelor's degree) and he'll completely toss it to the side like i'm making it up. like... i'm telling you the reality of the situation, and you're obviously no dummy, so why are you talking around it like i'm bullshitting?

i'm literally scarred from this topic of discussion, mainly because the way it's always delivered to me was in a manner of failure in getting to know me as a person. rather than ask me, "what do you like to do?" or "what did you make today?" or (shit) "are you happy?", i get "when are you getting a job?" or "when are you finding work?" like that's the only thing that matters to them. not finding meaning in my life, but whether or not i'm bringing in the $$$$ nO mAtTeR wHaT iT iS. that's another thing my dad likes to tell me, too: "take any job." i learned a long time ago that i'm not cut out to "just anything" because i not only respect myself more than that but i know i have limits.

as much as i daydream about having a bakery, and as much as i wonder if people are actually okay when i ask them what's it like, i'm not too keen on working in food as time goes on. even if it's in a place like chipotle or jersey mike's, it's long hours, it's hot, it's actually often miserable, it's... quite sexist (my aunt used to work in kitchens when she was younger so she got to bear witness to that), and for too many people, it's all they do: wake up, go to work, put something in the microwave and veg out in front of the tv, go to bed. warehouse jobs are just as arduous (just ask anyone who works at amazon). and as much as i enjoy working with my hands, i ain't touching maintenance jobs with a ten-foot pole.

so, when i think about this, and i think about how my extended family has kept me at arm's length since i was about 7 years old, i can say with complete confidence that, besides my aunt chris, i don't know who these people are, and they don't know me, either.

so, add to this: when i read a line like that, "uncertainty creates anxiety but underscores the importance of adaptability and lifelong learning", i feel it speaking to me and i kind of feel... sort of ahead of my time.

i think back to all the times i heard "what would you do with that?" whenever i said i'm an artist with a scientist's brain to classmates or counselors, and i can't help but feel somewhat vindicated. 20-year-old me feels vindicated now, because i have been nothing but anxiety and adaptability wrapped in a nori wrapper of wanting to learn things until the day i die. i told my mom, who's officially a stick in the mud at this point, that someone like me is the future and you know what, i'm going to keep saying it. hey, you know how affirmations revolve around repetition? well, here we are.

i will say this: that prediction does feel a bit extreme. i mean, i have absolutely no doubt in my mind that skynet is upon us, and how fast it'll get here is anyone's guess, but i feel there will always be a demand for human connection - that's actually one of the reasons why i want a job and i want to go back to school, besides wanting money of my own and more out of life: sorry, introverts, but i spent nearly a decade away from the world, being my own teacher, and now i want to be around people again.

i still feel like a trainwreck, though. i don't know when being multipassionate will catch on, even if i feel ahead of my time.

plus, i'm expecting a phone call from a bioscience organization today, which i hope can help me come closer to the field of kinesiology, but at the same time, i'm really not holding my breath. it's legitimate, i checked out their website, but i still have a strange feeling about it, though, given scammers are everywhere at this point. i’ve gotten pretty good at using my intuition the last few years: if something feels too good to be true, it probably is.

Hello! Welcome to my creativity side-blog

I'm Erica, a multi-disciplinary artist with a desire to create and experiment with different mediums. I have a portfolio website that features my fine art pieces, but I wanted another place where I could share the creative projects that don't fit in that category--things like fan art, animations, audiodramas, video games, short stories, etc.

If you're a multi-passionate creative person, I'd love to be mutuals!

How to balance all your interests when you have multiple passions?

I’ve been pondering how to balance all my different passions, interests, and side hustles, as I’m the kind of person who tends to love variety and easily gets excited about new projects. It’s often the completion part that I struggle with! This is a fairly common conundrum for certain personality types, and can also be related to conditions like ADHD. It can be really hard to know how to streamline and simplify things to make it more manageable and less chaotic.

Chronic illness can be a factor here too, as I often start a new project in a high energy period, but then may not have the physical energy to easily complete it. It can be hard to know how to handle this sometimes, as I can’t predict how I’ll feel from day to day or week to week. Sometimes I just have to let something go for a while, and accept that I will come back to it later. I also accept that there’s some projects I will abandon, and I don’t see it as a major problem as long as there’s no financial investment.

So how do you handle this tendency? 

I personally find it’s best to embrace it, and find ways to work around it rather than trying to pigeonhole myself into only one project, passion or interest at a time. However, if you’re trying to make money, earn an income or build a business - and you need to pay the bills with it to survive - then you will probably need to narrow down to one thing at a time for work. You can still allow yourself freedom to explore in your free time, though.

For example, I love borrowing a wide range of books from the library, and reading about a bunch of different topics at once. Switching from one book to another works for me and I find it stimulating. The great thing is that the books all get returned to the library, so they don't create long-term clutter. I also enjoy writing blog posts about a range of different topics, rather than sticking to one particular subject.

Same goes for my art - I have one style that I sell commercially, and then do whatever I want in the rest of my spare time as it captures my fancy. I find creating different IG/Tumblr accounts for particular art styles/niches works well. If it becomes popular and sells it's a cool bonus, but I don't worry too much about it making money. Digital art is great because it doesn't take up storage space, so I'm shifting from doing large pieces on canvas to doing more digital art.

Having said all that, I do have a bunch of blogs and Tumblr accounts floating around on the internet that I've forgotten about and largely abandoned. Same with old creative projects in storage. But it's okay, because I enjoyed exploring that idea/hobby/style for a brief period of time. Sometimes I go back and integrate creative stuff from the past into my current projects (for example, taking an old blog post and updating it for my current blog).

It can become a problem if you waste a lot of money on hobbies you forget about or business ideas that never get off the ground, so I’d recommend finding ways to avoid spending too much money to begin with. Ideally, it’s best to spend no money and find free activities, but obviously this is not always possible. My post about Decluttering My Fantasy Self may be relevant if this is you.

If you're multipassionate, I don't think there's one right or wrong way to manage your interests and hobbies. Some people like to focus intensely on one hobby at a time, then move on to something else. Others enjoy moving between different interests simultaneously to keep them stimulated. I've done both at different times in my life. Emilie Wapnick has a great book about this called How to Be Everything which is more focused on career, but you can apply the same principles to hobbies and side hustles as well.
