I love this. Becoming a beginner again can be scary, especially after years of knowing how to be good at things. But giving an old interest another chance is such a beautiful thing.
When I was “busy” in my business, I didn’t do things I’d always wanted to do. Time, money, access. More recently, I found myself looking forward rather than back. I could go through some of the arguments about past desires, but I’m happy with writing fiction, and I don’t find a need to look back - it would/could consume my time and energy.
However, the beginner thing - I tend to surge forward without becoming an expert first. Learning on the move.

And old interests can be so much MORE now.

I think I’ve always been that way.
