Can I ask you about what benefit those things brought you, specifically? What about them do you cherish? Is it the memories? Or did you gain some level of mastery you could be proud of? (If so, that's awesome! I'm having trouble looking back at all of what I've tried as time-- and money! --well spent.)

I've taken interest in so many different things over the years, it's rare I've stuck with any one of them for a whole year. Usually my best seems to be a few months. I haven't become good at anything of use to myself or others. (Worst thing is I'll research the heck out of an interest at first so I get a great theoretical understanding, but then when it comes to applying what I've learned, I don't get far.)
