Getting Back to What You Love

I’ve had a rough three years. Several major life changes have happened, as they do. They are inevitable. I realized at the end of last year though, that I had lost myself.

I sat down to do something and realized, I had lost all my hobbies. I let them slip away, always with the excuse that “I was too busy”, or “I am too tired”. I thought I would just get around to them later. But the realization that I hadn’t drawn, written, or read a book in over a year was hard for me. I worked, I surfed Facebook, and I was just entirely unhappy. I wasn’t doing anything that I enjoyed anymore. I knew I had to be better. Be better for myself, and in return, I was better for everyone else.

Stop Making Excuses

I know there are lots of people out there who stop doing things they love because there isn’t enough time. I decided I was going to stop using that excuse. I would stay up at night an hour later, just to do something that I loved.

I have started doing digital art, which I always wanted to do, but always had an excuse not to start. I am done with excuses. The only person who can change your life is yourself.

Since I have started doing things I used to love doing, I am so much happier. My creativity is coming back. I’m easier going and don’t run around all day on the edge.

So, pick up that crochet hook, book or basketball- and get back to what you love doing. Work will be there later. Let yourself experience life.
