Miss my old hobbies but found something better

Apr 7·1 min read

Used to spend every weekend on my motorcycle or at the gym. Havent been on the bike in like three years. Started staying home more after my daughter was born and honestly I thought I'd resent it. Instead I started building stuff with my son in the garage. Its slower. Its messier. We make a lot of mistakes. But man I look forward to Saturday mornings now in a way I never did before. Different life. Better life.

The gym thing I get. I used to be at the gym 5 days a week before the kids came. Now I'm doing YouTube workouts at 5am before everyone wakes up. Not the same vibe but it keeps me sane. Maybe there's a middle ground for you?

That's awesome man. I haven't been on my bike in forever either but honestly? Chasing my kids around the yard hits different than carving up mountain roads. Not saying I don't miss it, but the trade off has been worth it for me.

Three years is rough. Have you thought about getting back into it even just once a month? I know with a 3-month-old the time commitment is impossible right now but I'm wondering if that's something you'd want to circle back to eventually.
