I want to watch more movies. I have purchased quite a few books I want to read. I want to exercise more. I want to learn to play guitar. I want to play games. I want to spend some time socializing. I want to learn something else and get really good at it (something that is not my current job). I want to learn more about philosophies. I would like to be more spiritual. I'd like to learn another language, whether it be something unique like Gaelic or something widely used, like Mandarin. I would like to continue to explore music.
I think I am doing ok on reading and philosophy. I have ready Life by Keith Richards, The Catcher and the Rye by J.D. Salinger, and I am reading The Philosophy of Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Stoic Philosophy as Rational and Cognitive Psychotherapy by Donald Robertson and Hope and Help for your Nerves by Dr Claire Weekes. I have plenty of books queued. I am doing ok on running. I am back up to running about 5k, just not easily yet. I'd listened to the studio catalog of the band Megadeth - I really liked Countdown to Extinction, Youthanasia, and Cryptic Writings when I was younger - and now I'm listening to David Bowie and Rush.
I just don't know how to balance all of this. Some of these wants can easily be interspersed, while some need consistent effort. I should look on this as a good sign. A year or two ago, I wasn't interested in doing all that much. In that light, this is a good problem to have.
