The Hobby of Hobbies

My hobby is collecting hobbies. I jump from one thing to another trying to find something I'm not only good at, but passionate about and I have yet to find something that satisfies both. My indecisiveness stems from childhood where I took part in every extracurricular activity from Irish dance to cooking classes, Girl Guides to soccer never lasting more than a year in each activity.

I'm even wavering in religious beliefs, some would be shocked that I went through a devout Christian stage. I went to Christian camp, got baptised and embarrassingly enough changed my email to kayleigh_wwjd@hotmail.com. I then decided to become an atheist punk-emo (see embaressing photo) attracting ridicule from my older sister as I told her 'I don't believe in creation - I believe in Science! And bringing my mum to tears when I stated that I was going to tell my future children Santa and Jesus both don't exist.

The pyschiatrist in me says my irresolution, is my attempt to find happiness through succeeding at something I love which I have yet to find. Maybe my hobby of hobbies is what I'm good at? I attempt to figure it out here and to make permanent changes to my lifestyle that will hopefully act as a new foundation based on finding happiness through eating real food, doing new things, being healthy, learning and travel.

Its true, you have gone through strange phases. Live, learn, and grow I guess.

Have you heard of the slow food movement? Take a look at it.
