Music. 2 years ago I started teaching myself guitar and have played almost every day since then. At the beginning of last year I added learning to sing to my routine. Next year is going to be focused on singing and playing at the same time. Eventually I'll start writing my own music.

It's been the best hobby I've ever gotten into. It's stress relieving and makes me feel good about myaelf for accomplishing something that I thought for a long time I could never get good at. I have recordings of playing and singing throughout the last few years. When I feel discouraged or like I've hit a plateau, I listen back to where I was when I started and instantly appreciate how far I've come. I'm pretty sure at this point that music will be a lifelong pursuit for me.
