Anyone with a sewing machine they aren't using? Midlife crisis they say?
I'm in between jobs, currently unemployed, but actively looking.
I have heard that period between 30-33 is hell and I'm there or just maybe, I'm trying to find an explanation of where I'm at and why I can't seem to be moving.
Questioning everything about what I thought I wanted, knew about life and this has taken a hit at my confidence.
Why a sewing machine?
I did basics of sewing over 10 years ago. I still have an eye for pieces but I would have to do a refresher for all stuff.
In pursuit of finding something fun to do to get my creative juices going again, try new things, like, go back to sewing. Going back to the things that were once fun.
Also, try play volleyball again.
Just maybe, I'll find my purpose.
I don't have a hobby per se since I haven't tried anything to the fullest. Never started a business or anything. I do bake and really good at starting things but never seeing them through.
I'm tired of living life passively.

What are you guys doing for fun?

If you were once here, how did you get out of it?

How did you navigate the 30-33 phase where you are questioning everything you knew?
