Hope all are alright. Anyone picked up any cool new hobbies lately? Anyone play harp? I’m thinking of picking it up, I already play quite a few instruments, but harp has the highest initial investment of any I’ve done so far.

That's where ADHD medication helped me! I can actually practice drums now rather than only playing along to songs randomly. And I can follow through on my plans to build things, like I've got a pretty barebones but fully functional DDR pad and that just wasn't happening before medication.

tbh at this point, I kinda suspect that I have ADHD, but getting diagnosed costs money, and to get money, I need a job, but nobody is dumb enough to hire me lmao. Maybe I'll get around to it later this year / next year because I'm currently waiting to hear back from a couple of companies. Randomly playing along to songs is relatable, I often do that on my bass and rarely learn to play songs properly. Your comment gives me some kind of hope that things can get better. Thank you for that :3
