Mine is video games. Like, I've sworn to myself that I was going to cling to that until at least 10 or 15 years while I still have the cognitive ability to play them. But it's mid-30s and they say the 30s is generally where your love for video games go to die unless you're in the industry or having some working part involving games.

I'm having a harder time picking up a controller and getting excited for any game. I know I'm isolated by choice which is part of the problem, but, I can't even get that worked up for nostalgic games that I grew up with.

Mine is biking, it was very hot for a few weeks, and so i stopped, but now that it’s getting to be the fall and perfect biking weather… i can’t. They found a cyst aggressively growing inside my jaw and i have lost 1/3 of my jaw bone mass. The surgeon installed a marsupialization and said it will take me 10 months to grow the bone back…assuming it even can. In the mean time, the surgeon is afraid of me even eating chicken, let alone doing anything that could have me fall.

I recognize and sympathize with the energy of this comment. I have also had a medical setback recently that is making it really hard for me to exercise. I had a tumor removed and they took my thyroid out with it, and something is not right with the replacement meds. It is tough to make people understand just how awful it can be to feel exhausted and irritable and confused every single day. What happened to you sucks, and it isn't fair, and it's okay to not be okay with it. For what it's worth, I hope your bone does grow back.
