@SJohnRoss Journals. Definitely journals.

They start out blank and then I fill them with everything I can think of. LOL

And pens. So many pens!

@SJohnRoss
As someone with ADHD, I collect hobbies. Usually for about 6 months at a time. Knitting lasted 13 years, though!

I just started a sourdough.

@SJohnRoss
I had to think about that for a while. 6 months is generally long enough for me to get deep enough to find out if I actually like it. If I've done something 8 month, it generally lasts.

I do keep the knowledge & some level of skill afterward. So I may do it from time to time afterward, but it's not really a hobby any longer.

TTRPG, reading, knitting... that's about all that's lasted. The thing tying them together is that there is still more to learn. I gave up knitting bc of pain.

@SJohnRoss I was both sad and very happy when I sent all of my knitting paraphernalia to a emigree a couple of years ago. They moved to the States in suitcases and she had none of her gear. I probably had more than a thousand dollars in crap accumulated between needles, books, yarn, and other accouterments.

@SJohnRoss Regrets.

@SJohnRoss

Oh, yes, the happy definitely outweighed the sad. Periodically, she sends me pics of what she's made, and then I'm happy all over again!
