That’s trickier than it seems. I quite enjoy reading and many forms of bodily movement activities (e.g. swimming, yoga, taiji, qigong, exercise, etc.,) but I’d count them more as personal development activities than leisure activities. (Even something as seemingly non-purposeful as juggling.) I sometimes watch TV / movies, but I don’t know that I’d say I enjoy that so much as find it an opportunity to zone out.
Just, oh so many of them. Virtually all of them. I’ve succeeded in every breath I took (so far, fingers crossed.)
What’s a secret skill or ability you have or wish you had?
This is a trick question that can only logically have one answer. It’s more of a logic / linguistic test than a prompt.
First of all, it can’t be a skill that one has, is secret, and that one blabs about on the internet.
So, the only “secret skill” that one could discuss wishing that one had on the worldwide web must be the ability to keep a secret.
Not really a problem area for me as, being a introvert, I’m pretty tight lipped by nature.
Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time?
Well, having an imaginary friend is adorable at nine, but at ten they institutionalize you. So I would say, yeah.
Truth be told, the answer is reading, but as hardcore addictions go, the side-effects are better than with heroin or meth (and almost completely opposite, though it does sometimes make me sleepy.) So, I think I’ll go with social media, which I probably do less of than average, but that’s still way too much.
Skydiving comes to mind. Particularly, because it seems like something that I’d like to do once, but then would have no pressing urge to repeat it, having had the experience. There are a lot of things in this world that I could try for the first time, but I’m getting old to be trying anything that might become an ongoing competing demand for my time and energy. For example, I’ve thought of doing scuba, but that seems like it would become a whole ordeal of maintaining certifications and feeling the need to keep doing it.
