I’ve recently realized (thanks to another Lemmy discussion), that I have no joy, passion, or happiness left 🤣

I want to live vicariously through the collective! What’s bringing you joy, happiness, and/or what are you passionate about.

Let’s keep this safe for work 🙂

As always, thank you all so much for answering my questions! I hope you everyone is having a great day!!

A few things.

If we look beyond my family, reading is a big passion of mine. This is more audiobooks lately due to the aforementioned family, but whatever keeps the hobby going.

I enjoy movies and have a nice surround sound setup at home. That can eat up a lot of time, just reading about how to improve, not to mention actually using it for both movies and music (again the family can make this difficult to achieve).

I really like photography and have a few of my own pictures hanging on the walls. I have spent hours at a time hunting for great photos, not to mention photo marathons where you take a walk for 12 or 24 hours with your camera.

I enjoy biking. I bike to work every day. When we had the time my wife and I went on longer rides up towards 100km. Small kids have killed the longer trips, but the daily commute lives on!

I recently got into home assistant, automating many a thing, preferably without pissing off the wife too much. That's a precarious balance act, but for now we're still together, so I haven't messed up too badly - yet.

I might have left something out, and I know I had other passions that were left behind as my attention shifted that I haven't mentioned. Lots going on always!

You really have a diverse set of interests and hobbies! That’s really awesome!

Tinkering with anything can chew up a lot of time for sure. I looked at trying to optimize my television and just said “nope, don’t care enough” and walked away. Same thing with home assistant (and I don’t even have a family to deal with haha).

You have any of your photos online? I am sure myself and others would enjoy seeing your work!!

Glad to hear you have some much bringing you happiness!!

Thank you for sharing!!
