Burnout?

Those people that know me know that I am a pretty positive person. Even when I'm making a serious comment, very often it's with a smile or in a joking, lighthearted manner. I really only get angry when people directly attack me or my friends. And it's VERY hard to offend me with obscenity or crude humor. With all that in mind, I find it hard to address the feelings I've been having lately. I don't want to call it hobby burnout, because I don't feel like I've done anything to feel overwhelmed. I don't live show. I hardly have many pedigrees to put out. I have a healthy enough financial situation that new models can keep coming in, and still do. But once they get here............eh. Nothing. I take their pics, maybe match them to an ID, and then they go on the shelf. No playtime, hardly any photo time, and no sense of enjoyment. (Beyond the initial thrill of spending money and having a brand new box in my hands). Am I a habitual hobbier? Do I do it by habit now? Ugh, to even think these thoughts!

I think, if I have to Freud myself, that some of it has to do with my upcoming birthday. I'll be turning 25. Quarter centennial. Now, most of the ladies in the hobby are older than that and will scoff and laugh, but for me looking ahead--a good third of my life is probably gone. I'm still not married. Still don't have kids. Haven't traveled to Europe. Or owned my own horse. Heck, haven't even really learned to ride, yet! I'm having a quarter-life crisis.

Weirdly, my free time has shifted from horses and video games to reading and flipping through cookbooks, daydreaming about babies and the moment I'd find out I'm pregnant, and thinking about making scrapbooks. Is that nesting? I don't know. Someone tell me, please! Haha.

Or. Or am I just bored and it's totally temporary and it'll pass soon enough? I sure hope so!!!
