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!

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.
