Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrow n or lost interest in over time?
I used to go out and explore a lot. I could not stay in a house for even an hour without want to go out
My favorite activity used to be mount climbing. I liked walked around and speak with people. My evening was not complete without going to the pitch and pray football.
I was very passionate about playing soccer and I did it with vigour. I was an aggressive striker and caused many goals.
All this hobbies are now gone, all I want nowadays is stay behind my laptop and write something or read something. I have course to complete online, I have tasks to finish in my laptop.
Am nolonger interested with going out with friends and chat. But my loss of interest with outdoor activities is not largely about age. It is about change of priorities. I discovered new interests in computer science and I became romantically engaged with coding. That’s why I lost interest with football. At age of 27, I realized that I do not even have a chance to pray for local clubs, let alone a national team or an international match. I dropped that dream and I rediscovered myself. I want to write, research and contribute to science and the academic world.
I have discovered my inner ability to want talk through writting.
But there is something about me that seems to always stay with me regardless, and that is reading books. Nothing can take reading out of me. Absolute nothing. I read when in distress, I read when am jobless, I read when mourning and I read when rejected and dumped. I will read when very busy, when tired and even when excited . I will always read in all situations. I believe I will want to read when am very old just the way I like it when am young. I read when I was very poor and without shelter. I read books when sleeping in the streets. The day I was given a sacking letter from my job, I read many pages of my favorite book, called “let us C” and I forgot I have no job to pay my bills, atleast I forgot about my problems when reading it. So nothing can separate me from reading, not tribulations, nor hunger, nor lack of job nor lack of shelter. The only time I won’t read is when I cannot access a book; God forbid:; I will with the same vigour when am rich just like the way I did when I was very poor.
All other interest has faded away, my interest in public debates has faded away. My interest in singing is nolonger that strong. Sometimes I develop interest on something and then loose it after sometimes. But one thing I have never lost interest, in all seasons of life, reading. I have read holy books and the unholy one too.
But for sure, I have lost interest with most of outdoor activities, except a walk and a chat with my girlfriend.
