When special intersts end...

If anyone has a special interest that faded / fizzled out over time or even just ended abruptly, what was is? And why did it "die"? And do you have any that revived over time?

  • Mine tend to end abruptly only when something else suddenly comes along and grabs my attention instead. For example, I made a blog in 2014 and for more than a year i was obsessed with it - all day every day was spent perfectly curating the blog and posting on it etc. I reached 10,000 followers in that first year, but then suddenly I developed a special interest in reading and lost all motivation for the blog just like that. So I deleted the whole thing - thousands of hours of work just gone in an instant. But the thing is I don't regret deleting it because the intense interest in blogging was simply gone and therefore any attachment I had to the blog was gone too. 

    The special interests I have right now though have been steady for three years so far, so I can't imagine ever not being into them anymore, but who knows!
