What keeps me sane beyond teaching and health tracking
Teaching is consuming. Health tracking can become obsessive. These are the outlets that keep me human—creative, social, and occasionally competitive pursuits that have nothing to do with work or weight loss.
Not the drunken KTV sessions of my twenties. Now it's occasional, intentional, and surprisingly therapeutic. There's something about singing that bypasses all the overthinking—pure expression, no judgment (except maybe from the machine's scoring system).
Weekly campaigns with the boardgame club. I'm usually the DM—crafting narratives, managing chaos, watching players surprise themselves with their choices. It's collaborative storytelling at its finest, and the friendships formed around the table are surprisingly deep.
The perfect blend of strategy, collecting, and social interaction. Friday Night Magic at the local game store, casual commander games with friends, or just brewing new deck ideas. It's chess with infinitely more variables and way cooler art.
The hobby that ate all my other hobbies. What started as a weight loss documentation project has become a full creative outlet—learning Premiere Pro, experimenting with cameras and lighting, writing scripts, and slowly finding my voice. It's terrifying and exhilarating in equal measure.
"The best time to start was 20 years ago. The second best time is now."
The moment everything changed. The leap, the launch, and the birth of a new identity.
