When special intersts end...

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!

Oh that's interesting. So just one at a time?

It was always strictly one at a time for most of my life, but over the last three years I've finally been able to balance a few special interests at once. I don't know what has changed in my brain to allow this, but I'm glad it did because having one intense interest at a time was always a bit too all-consuming  

Ahh I think I've alwys had at least 2 to 4 "long stays" running concurrently with a few that spark up alongside but then maybe don't stick properly for whatever reason.
