Looking back, I think the hardest decisions I made were related to giving up certain things, projects, or ideas.
For example, I gave up a series of pet projects I had from my early years of engineering. Some of these were integral part of my self-identification. But we need to recognize what’s important and focus on that, recognize what brings joy and focus on that as well. All of my pet projects needed significant maintenance and moderation and over the years, turned to unpaid chores that drifted away from their original purpose. I only mildly regret about my old blog.
Speaking of pleasurable activities that turn into chores, reading can be one. I can see myself switching from reading to gaming at some point in the future. Or maybe I’ll watch a TV series. Owning books can be that as well. The first batch of books I gave up to the library was particularly hard. I’m glad I did it because books pile up quickly and can clutter any home. There has to be a way for all these books to be rehomed.
There are harder decisions in life but I prefer to think about choices that are not between different evils. Like the following:
Kickin’ in the front seat
Sittin’ in the back seat
Gotta make my mind up
Which seat can I take?

That’s a lovely thought, books need to be rehomed. One of the reasons I switched to ebooks, lack of space. I still prefer physical books but 🤷♀️

For me it was my passion for film making. I loved making short films. But I failed to branch out from film making with friends. I had dreams of reaching mainstream cinema. But those dreams faded away with the pressures of life. On a good note, I still write. I’m working on my first novel.
