maple - is there a hobby / skill that you’ve always wanted to try but never did?
I am in the privilidged position of being an Adult with (some) disposable income, and not too many physical ailments, so yes while I was younger and a student I might think “I wish I could do [thing] but I have no money” anything I wish I could do, I probably can now with some careful budgeting (I’m not rolling in money!!)
Any hobby I do not have is because I don’t really want it enough to budget time and money at it. So why resent it? (Plus I’m only 30 I’m not dead! I have time to do things in future too!)
When I was a teen I wanted not only to be an artist (which I was actively working on all the time cos I love to draw), but I had seen drawings and photos of a thing called Roller Derby and those women looked so cool, and as an adult with a bit of time and money I tracked it down and signed up!
I think the only thing I can think of that I just really want to try is to put a pair of ballet pointe shoes on my feet and not even stand on them properly but put my toe on the ground with a little pressure to feel a tiny bit of what it must feel like to wear those shoes.
But I don’t want to dance ballet or go through the strength to get to that I just wanna squish my toes in some pointe shoes for curiosity’s sake.
But I said the same about trying on roller skates as an adult and well… can’t drag me away!!
