Did you have a hobby which you stopped somehow? I write poems.. used to write much more. But for some reason or other havent been writing as often lately and have been feeling some hollowness. Poetry atleast as I perseive it, is not something that you jsut sit and say ok I am going to write it. So, it does not happen unless that perfect modod comes by. It has not been happening to me lately. Please share your experiecnes with your hobbies.

I used to paint in my young age. I dont like it anymore. Somehow it sounds childish to me to paint. I know other people dont think so But I dont liek ti anymore. So I have stopped it now.

I had to give up on skateboarding, mainly because I was getting hurt too much! Now I surf alot more than I have in the past... As for poetry you have to be inspired to write about a topic. If you don't like your topic, you'll never be satisfied with the end product... Here's a poem I wrote rescently that's still in progress, maybe it will motivate you...
You Can't Hide
I hold no prejudice
I retain no opinion about your wealth or power
You can’t screen, retreat, recover, or recoil from me
As you keep passing me by
You can’t help or contribute to me
I outlast the elements as I hold no sentiments
I wait for history to mold me
Too many people have wasted me
Now they have come face to face with me
While many try to forget about me
I will catch up to you
Many have treated me unfaithfully
Now they are enduring me painfully
Who am I?
I am TIME

Glad you liked it, I think I'm still going to change it a bit before I post it anywhere...

Yes, I have a hobby of playing Flute, but due to paucity of time, I have to stop it for the time being. May start in future.

Well what about hobbies this is indeed a pleasant subject for me to talk about. I love my free time. I am loving it because i have enough for everything i want to do. Can't imagine what this world would have done without having it's hobbies. There are a lot of them and the most common one are the one in which you get a lot involved and you like what you are doing. My personal favorite hobbies are the collecting of stamps, collecting old coins, playing football, playing tennis table and a lot of other hobbies more and more interesting. It is good for a person to have a hobby because it can develop certain skills which surely will help in the life. Everyone should have a hobby at least and give it the importance it has. Hobbies are great!! What can i advice you.. if you don't have a hobby make one!

When I was a teenager I loved to draw - particularly horses. Haven't drawn anything in years. I also used to love to write. Haven't done that in years either. Guess I got busy with life and raising kids. Maybe one of these days I'll get back to it?

i used to sketch since i was a kid, few years back i even completed 1 year course in 2D and 3D animation and i used to sketch alot... BUt now, unfortunately i stopped this activity, days are becoming very fast with no time for myself.
But i sometimes i sketch in a piece of paper or in my diary or whatever on which i can sketch... but that graceful flow of my hand is absent now :-(
