I'm turning 40 years old in a few months. I have never once thought 'am I too old to...?'

Life feels like a choose your own adventure game which is fun and exciting, always.

Some ideas I've had this week:

1. Go to law school
2. Research anglerfish bioluminescence
3. Learn to play flamenco guitar
4. Write the gay version of crazy rich asians
5. All of the above?

Someone once told me that my superpower is maybe 'thinking many random thoughts and then actually doing them'

I think I just have so many interests and never, ever being bored is my superpower

Still working through last week's ideas... mostly learning how to crochet :)

I sometimes joke that I have so many interests and hobbies because of ADHD. It is partly true, but in general I feel great motivation from 'things that amuse me / make me laugh / fascinate me' (while I'm completely unable to do things that do not amuse me or fascinate me)

Sometimes little seeds of ideas get planted in some unexpected ways. I was trying to think of why I suddenly want to learn to play flamenco guitar.

A few years ago, I randomly went to a concert in the Mission and I was extremely moved by it. It was Antonio Rey and Pepele Mendez, two world class musicians in the field. I did not know anything about flamenco (or about them).

I will probably never run out of things to do or learn, and I like that very much. It can be big things (like learn a new instrument!) or small things (like improve my handwriting).

in a world of specialists, i kind of like that people probably find me hard to pin down. i have had many, many lives. am i a food writer? photographer? ai ethics researcher? aquarium worker? musician? novelist?

WHY NOT ALL?

labels are limiting!
