In my quest to become an excellent data scientist, I've suffocated all my other talents and hobbies. Drawing, guitar, sports, foreign languages.

I thought I couldn't have these because they consumed too much space in my mind. Turns out I was wrong. I just didn't know enough about practicing those skills.

A few months ago I restarted guitar practice, with modest success. Recently I restarted learning Polish. Next will be pen and ink, and lastly baseball.

On my way to become who I want to be.

@luksfarris I also restarted guitar a few months ago. I remembered that it's *fun*, even if I'm not especially good at it, and therefore worthwhile by itself. What I've started calling "The Music Project" has put out tendrils in all directions; there's so much good stuff to explore!

@flashesofpanic that's very similar to my personal experience!! I found that practicing guitar is satisfying (it literally brings me joy), challenging (plus I can measure progress), and I have zero regret for the time spent practicing!
