What have I done with my life? Well, a lot of things. I have a ton of
interests, but I’ve never really wanted to be an expert in anything, save
for writing. But first, here’s a list of things that I’ve done that I didn’t
like, or at least don’t anymore. I was a gymnast from childhood, up until my
senior year of high school. I didn’t like to compete, and eventually only
kept going because that’s what I was used to doing. I regret not being more
self-aware, and realizing how it was a really good excuse to work out. Maybe
then I would have continued to do something to keep my fitness up
after graduating. I played baseball for a few years too, but I absolutely
hate sports, and I quit as soon as my parents let me. I took golf lessons
later, and ran a mile outside of a school program. Apparently, my parents
were trying to find my skills and passion, and I was not smart enough to
tell them that these things weren’t it. I would go on to run a 5K as an
adult, but that was to lose weight, and I never wanted to do it again. I was
on the dive and swim team all through high school, which my parents
considered a natural extension of my experience as a gymnast, but I hated
that too. After my first practice, I got in the car, and asked to let me
quit right away, because the coach was making all divers swim to fill out
the team. By the time my high school career was over, I preferred to swim,
but I was literally the only diver on the team by then, and I guess I had to
finish what I started anyway. I’m not a musician either. I played the piano
for several years, and quit when my teacher died. My excuse at the time was
that I didn’t want to think about trying to find a new teacher, but I think
I can admit now that I always hated it as much as anything, and I was never
good at it. I severely regret the amount of money my parents spent on a
piano that’s no longer used, however much that was.
I was terrible in school, and that was annoying, because I wasn’t cool
either, so everyone assumed that I was a nerd, but I wasn’t anything. I even
did poorly in English, and related subjects. The way I see it, I’m more of a
storyteller than a wordsmith. Words are just my medium, because I also have
an ugly voice, but I think I would prefer to produce movies on the creative
side than literally write the screenplays. After I graduated from college,
in pursuit of my writing career, I started to do a lot more research, and
branch out into subjects that I never thought I would try. I like
architecture. Before I ended up here, I would use software to design
spaceships, and other structures, from my stories, even though I never
planned to release these illustrations publicly. I found it to be a soothing
task, even when it was frustrating. I like to watch educational videos
online for futuristic and technological subjects, and also some more
grounded topics. Power generation, conversion, and storage; engineering;
anatomy, physiology, medicine, psychology, and neurology; especially
evolutionary biology; and even economics are some of my other random
interests. I’m particularly invested in ethics, because I see bad ethics all
the time, and also logic, because neurotypicals are so wrong so much of the
time. I like to study these subjects, and pretend that I can retain the
information presented to me, but honestly, I don’t remember hardly any of
it, so they’re mostly good for killing time. Of course, I’ve done lots of
other things, but these are the basics. Join me tomorrow, where I’ll discuss
where I’ve lived, and where I’ve been.
