Trying Out Things at a Later Age
April 22, 2022

You are not getting any younger. You look back at your days in school and early days after graduation when you were cash strapped and didn't have money to do activities outside of money-making ventures. Now you have saved up for your future; you have an emergency fund at your bank; you have jobs that can pay your bills and support a whole-rounded lifestyle you’ve always envisioned to have.
Growing up, you’ve watched your classmates be enrolled by their parents in different extracurricular activities. Some were active in sports while others were active in music and the arts. There were the exceptional dancers and occasional chefs. There were also the master writers and painters of your time. Everyone seemed to be doing something cool while all you could focus on was school work because the little that your parents earned from their jobs can only support your main education and your daily needs to survive. And you understood the situation at that time. You would improvise by running in your neighborhood or using your pen and paper to do some sketches. You were doing good but in the back of your head, you wanted to also be able to enroll in classes, be mentored by the experts, and meet like-minded individuals who have the same passions and interests as yours. Now you’re in a better place in your life. You were able to get a college scholarship and graduate from university with honors. You landed a good-paying job and you’re able to support yourself as well as help your parents. Even with all these responsibilities, you still have extra funds to do the many activities you only imagined of doing back in the past.
There are tons of things you can do. You can apply to a ceramics class. You can do pole dancing sessions. You can head to the pool and learn about the ropes of scuba diving. You can go to the fields and play football, polo, horseback riding, and so much more. You can enroll in an oil painting class. You may try skateboarding for the very first time. You may own your very first bike and go on short cycling trips until you can cover longer distances. You can now try the recipes in your cookbook or those that you watch on YouTube videos. You may start to learn how to play the piano. You may want to book a private tutor for French classes. You may start on woodwork projects or install a home gym in your garage. You may start a new business or make music to maximize the available space in your garage.
No matter what your age is, you are relentless. You can do anything you set your mind out to do. People are often discouraged when they feel old to try new things in their lives. Do not be one of these people. Dare to add excitement to your life as long as you are still breathing.
Many of the hobbies we just listed can be done in your garage. Here are some items you can install or use in your garage so that you can cultivate your hobbies:
