2). Many interests that I've had on and off throughout my life are still there and they're still growing and evolving on a path of their own. �Especially ideas I've been developing over my lifetime. �Instead of incessantly building my knowledge bank and sorting them like I have for all my life I just find little trinkets of ideas that I like and throw them into their satchel with their project group. �I'd elaborate but it's just the stuff of thoughts and ideas. �No, that makes it sound weirder than it is. �I mean interests like folk medicine and stuff. �And I've always collected and traded arts and crafts techniques. �Recently I got a little time using an airbrush. �No, I have nothing to show and did nothing spectacular but it's that I doodled as a kid and then got into colored pencils later and now that interest seems to be sticking around and continuing to evolve.
Is ^ a gifted thing? I have so many projects / hobbies / interests floating around in my pouch. I've had many of them for years now and they stick around. I return to them randomly and find that I know much more than I did before, or feel like I'm ready to dive into them again. And all of the things I've learned about in the pouch influence how I understand new things I come across.
And as far as constantly learning new things. It is like everything is connected and I've got a vast web of information in my mind where I can plug in the new tidbits that I'm learning every day. ("Oh!!! This is just like THAT thing...that is a different way of looking at it." etc. And a new connection lights up.) Anyone else experience that?
