Torn between two loves

Guys I have hit a point in my life where I realize I won’t live forever and what I do on the daily means everything.

I like trying to be creative and I tend to just go with whatever feels right. I am torn because I have two major hobbies and I’ve decided to try for legit mastery before I die but I can’t serve two masters.

Game development and music are my two loves and I’m gonna have to choose one to focus on. Everytime I drop one and spend lots of time with the other I get much better at what I’m doing.

How the fuc k do you choose lol :laughing:

I also have another major hobby that takes up as much time …it’s called sz management. I hate this hobby tho lol

It is okay to put this schiz hobby on a back burner so to speak. Yes you need to check in on yourself regularly but there will come a point when you can put more things to the foreground and put the mental illness in the background. Hobbies like music are good treatment for the MI so you are treating your MI by doing other pursuits.

I do game development, graphics, and music. Making slow but steady progress. When you need a break from one you can pick back up another.

If you do just one thing you’ll get burned out.

Not a small part of life. But a smaller part compared to your other compartments of life. It’s ever changing and that’s okay. Do what is healthy for you and some things will get easier over time.

I feel that midlife crisis thing pretty a lot… took me a year or two to realize the underpinning of my fret is just not being young any more.

Life is long. Nothing needs to be treated with ultimate certainty. I know game dev is where my interests are… but even in that doing 3d and programming are way different.

Im on a 3d kick right now.

Thanks guys… I guess I will try to manage doing both. Maybe mastery will come or I will be too old for o care …I guess lol

Anyways. It seems like a lot of u guys do multiple things too so I don’t feel so inefficient. Again …thank you for your input.

Also ..I really want sz to shrink but I guess I’m in good company even if it doesn’t become a small part of my life. Honestly @sweetpotatopie ..what you said was kinda a big shift in perspective for me .once I actually thought about it. What if sz wasn’t the most important thing in my life !!! That’s huge..gonna talk to my therapist about maybe adding that as a goal .

Staying healthy by making healthy life choices should be the main goal. This will make it easier for you to juggle more things than just the MI. I’m rooting for you.
