Next time someone asks what you’re into, lead with the new stuff. Saying it out loud makes it real.
CREATIVITY
WHAT THIS MEANS
What you name out loud becomes more real to you. Interests kept private stay provisional, easy to drop the moment they get hard, because nothing anchors them. Saying the new thing first also sorts the room, since the people who lean in are the people worth more of your time.
The next time somebody asks what you are into, resist leading with the old reliable answer. Mention the thing you started six weeks ago, even though you are bad at it. Saying it plainly is most of what makes it stick.
