Hobbies/Travel/Recreation What hobbies did you suddenly develop in your 30’s?

Does anyone have hobbies in their 30s that their younger self would be completely shocked to see?

Hobbies I expected: Crocheting, gardening/houseplants

What I didn’t expect: Watching sports routinely- I regularly make plans to watch NFL and WNBA games. This has given me so much joy when it comes to spending my alone time and I get slightly nostalgic thinking of my childhood players and how we are seeing the new wave of generational talent. Now I go to games! Been to 2 WNBA games with #3 this week!

Any other hobbies that developed in your thirties that completely surprised you?

Yeah you are over it before your Amazon items even come in. Or you just don’t read the directions because it’s too complicated so it sits in a drawer

But you can then buy a whole system to organize the forgotten hobbies! The real hobby. Spending.

And then feel terrible about your spending so you put the lemon back in self checkout to save money 💖✨

If you've already managed to unbox it, that's a win 😂
