I have completely lost interest in movies, TV shows, videos and books. My interest in TV and movies had been dwindling for the past decade, as everything became repetitive, banal and predictable.
Books started waning during the past three years. I noticed the same formulaic approach to much of the fiction and nonfiction titles I tried to read.
I think I would be able to enjoy all of these once again with other people. We could laugh, discuss, make fun of, gasp, yell and enjoy the experience together.
Today though, as a single guy who is still quite isolated due to the pandemic and to my current life situation, I’ve had to find new ones to entertain myself.
I get more from creating than consuming.
- I write instead of read.
- I play drums.
- I paint.
- I repair things.
- I’m taking French lessons.
- I’m learning to draw.
When I’m actively dating someone, I’m sure we will find plenty of things to do.
I purchased the “Go” game and am looking forward to playing it. I want to play chess with a human being instead of online. I’m ready to start eating out occasionally again. Maybe we’ll go to a play or small concert.
I’ve got to get out more with other people.
My solo life is fantastic. It is busy, challenging and rewarding. But life is better with others and the time for me to isolate has passed.
