Things that interest you that are unrelated to your LO?

Come onnn lets share some positivity, lets get fun and be silly wittle goobers. I can assure you, there are things you like that are unrelated to your LO. Things that you liked before you even found out about your LO! Think hard. And don't be embarrassed either about it. Be cringyyy. Be weirddd.

Post-limerence makes things a lot easier to notice how much I liked certain stuff that I've basically suppressed. Some things I can understand why I've suppressed, like if people thought it was cringy. But with a lot of stuff, I feel like Ive suppressed my enjoyment for seemingly no reason.

For example, miniatures/diorama. I love miniatures. I loved LPS growing up for that reason. I used to loveee watching these slideshow videos on Youtube back in 2007-2010ish where it was a bunch of pictures featuring hamnsters interacting with miniature sets, making it look like they were living in a world if humans were replaced by hamsters omg. I loved creating my own little displays, creating scenes based around a certain scenario using my toys. It also tied with my love of stop motion.

Another was animation. I loved creating animations ever since I was a kid. I loved watching cartoons and learning about the many types of animations. I liked making videos in general, filmmaking. It was never anything serious which is what sets me apart from my LO. While yes he likes filmmaking and makes stuff, I liked it before finding out about him and our attitude toward the art is very different. He likes the attention creating stuff gives him, its all about the numbers and whatnot. I like the art of creating itself. I like having fun and being goofy. I have an early internet type of attitude. And because of that, I hold a deep appreciate for low-to-no budget animations and videos. That and very amateur videos overall. Stuff using a potato camera full of unscripted dialog. Its about the passion beyond it. How much fun they had making it. When I was younger, I also got caught up in the numbers- and it killed my passion for creativity. I ended up deleting all my old videos, something I still regret to this day. Upon realizing my LOs attitude toward art, ngl I kinda got fucking bitter because it was like "wait.... you mean to tell me, I spent this whole time obsessing and idolizing over someone whos nothing but a pretentious douche who represents none of which I stand for?". I projected a lot of how I viewed myself on him in regards to art. But now I realize I can be the person he never was. And thats what Im gonna do.

Third one would be comics. I love comics, mainly panel comics. I even would draw comics as a kid. Yet, for whatever reason it never dawned on me how much I like comics? And how many ideas I have but never took the time to create? Even though my love for it was right there from the start???

Doll customs! The last one Imma mention. It ties in with my love of miniatures. I love LPS customs and older gen MLP customs. I love custom figurines. I wanna make my own someday. I have more interests to share but this post is already p long.
