I recently started learning hand tool woodworking and won’t shut up about it haha. I found a few books and channels that are helpful and feel real. The more I do it, the more it’s apparent to me that many things around me are just distractions. It’s really nice to unplug from everything and make some things or practice using/sharpening my tools. Those little moments when something clicks feel weirdly fulfilling.

What do you all enjoy doing? Have you found any new passions? What do you like about it?

A friend of mine's father likes to say "Sadness and regret when we make mistakes is our brain's way of making sure the lesson sticks. The worse you feel, the more important it is to grow from it." It's helped me to frame my negative reactions with positive meaning and see them as another tool for personal growth, and I hope it does something similar for you.
