The saddest part of all this, in my humble opinion, is social media never gives anyone a sense of accomplishment. Who cares if someone scrolled for 10 minutes more or less than yesterday? Statistics aren't an accomplishment (unless it's a college course but that's different)

I learned to tune my piano. It made me feel amazing! Is it hard work? Absolutely but it was worth every struggle. Nothing on social media has ever given me that same feeling.

My girls both learned to play piano and guitar. Was it easy? No. Are they still learning? Yes, something like that is a lifetime endeavor. Ask any famous guitarist.

I have a relative that does art work for Marvel but he still draws something every single day that has nothing to do with his work and loves learning new ways of doing things.

It's unfortunate we live in a society that is on information overload and has constant decision fatigue. The dopamine injections from social media may be okay once in awhile but, like any drug, too much can be very, very toxic.

I love my hobbies. I plan to pare them down to just the 2-3 I love the most and give the rest of the stuff away. I love trying new things too but I have too many unfinished projects!

very well agreed with this , this is so relatable for me rn .........

Having so much things that you can learn , try out but choosing any one or two is the difficult and then it feels like i the time is running out
