Anybody else feels like their hobbies just…disappeared?

Ask Thirties

I used to have so many hobbies — things I genuinely enjoyed and made time for. Creative stuff, random interests, things I’d lose hours doing.

I always believed “30s are the new 20s” and that I’d still have energy and space for all of it. But lately, I’m realizing that even though I still want to do those things, I don’t actually give them time anymore.

Work, responsibilities, mental fatigue — they all seem to eat up the day, and by the time I have “free time,” I just default to resting or scrolling Instagram or YouTube shorts.

Has anyone else gone through this?

Would love to hear how others are dealing with this?
