I used to be obsessed with music and spent 10 years of my life pursuing it, but my excitement for it just isn't there any more. I get more excited for literature, an effortless excitement; but it feels like such a waste to have spent all this time on music and then just stop or only partially invest myself in it.

You're not supposed to do music for ever, unless you're very talented and have perfect pitch, in that case you dedicate to composing. Even the Greeks knew that music should be dropped after 16. Philosophy and literature, among with writing are just too vast and their application is perfectly compatible with everyday life so there's no reason, at least for me, to ever drop them.

Music is just as vast as literature and philosophy.
And everyone should play and make music. It is not some art for the 'talented'. No art form or study is for the 'talented'. You have very narrow views.
>>16804107
OP if you want to leave music that is fine. Don't get bent out shape. You put your sound in the world one way or another and that is beautiful. Remember music is always there. You can pick it up and leave it at anytime.
Learning music and playing is never a waste. You have learned so many other life skills (studying, discipline, creativity). The pursuit of learning anything is never a waste.

I used to be really good at video games, particularly Halo and Call of Duty. I would sell 'level 50' accounts in Halo 3 and I was consistently ranked top 100 in the world in public free for all matches in CoD Black Ops. This was roughly age 13-17 (late 2000s/early 2010s). I also had two friends who got very minor video game sponsorships and they both placed in the top 25 on gamebattles (one in Halo and one in this game called Shadow Run iIRC). I ended up quitting video games, but I kind of wish I still had my old skills. I could probably get most of it back within a few months, although the last time I tried to play CoD (a few months ago) I was basically average.
Although it's probably for the best that I don't spend much time on video games. At the time, it was mainly because as a teenager I got more and more into drugs - both using and selling. These day I don't play because I'm busy with other hobbies. Mainly math, philosophy, and biology (e.g. combinatorics, dynamical systems, game theory, evolution, communication, etc). I also play guitar, although not very well, and last summer I summer I starter doing very basic carpentry and working out. I built a new fence, a privacy lattice, and repaired my deck. Hopefully I keep that up. And I started going to the gym, although I've always been fairly active, so that's not completely new to me.
I do miss playing video games and it was really cool being one of 'the best in the world' at something, but it was kind of a useless skill and the shit I do now is more productive and rewarding. I have a lot of nostalgia for that time period though, although I was actually pretty depressed. Probably just because I was a teenager and internet culture was just developing. Actually the first time I heard about 4chan, was from one of Halo teammates back in like 2008 or 2009. I think it was either Haboo hotel or Boxxy.

To me I think is mostly here, I guess (and from a few friends who are far way, and a would be gf who was also far away. Now she is still FARTHEST far away because she won't be nothing mine anymore, I suppose).
The rest of my interactions are "automatic", shallow, dull, if you know what I mean. You gotta keep you cover, keep your back to the wall, don't show any weakness. Put up your pokerface and go to the grocery store...

Male to female transexuals that are transitioning using hormone therapy, castration etc for reasons of "gender dysphoria" and not for reasons of sexual gratification are pretty eunuch like.

Everything that comes out of you is so full of vitriol and hate yet you act in a manner that you are the victim being treated with unjust violent reactions for "merely" being a woman on the internet.
