I dont play my bass hardly anymore. My hands got bad, and idk. Used to play for hours each day, and now I pick it up twice a year.

Used to hike twice a week at least too, but I havnt gone in years at this point.

I do, yes, feel like im dying. Been putting music on while im home alone more often, its helping a bit, least ive started to dance again.

    I stopped playing bass seriously about 8 - 9 years ago. Small child and renovating an old house while working full time with a 45 minute commute.

    I only picked upy bass from time to time to play a song or riff or two. During the last year or two I often thought "I should do this again", but never followed through.

    A few weeks ago a colleague of mine said his band is looking for a bass player and would I be interested. I told them that I was more than rusty, but if they'd give me a chance I would listen to their stuff and learn a few songs. In an hour I leave for the first meeting and rehearsal. This was the push I needed, I don't know if I would have started again on my own.

    As for the hiking, a "outdoors youtuber" I like was just talking about this, people not going outside anymore. He said to put a date in your phone calendar and then actually go on this date - for him this works because it gives him this little nudge.

    Hang in there, hopefully the dancing is just the start.
