Drawing.

I used to. Back at university and at the pub. Graduated almost a decade ago and had the one drink too many a while back. The soul's too broken to draw for now. The skill's there, but the heart isn't.

Maybe I'll be able to draw again someday.

I understand you so well. I have a similar story with drawing. I don't think I'll ever be able to return to it, but I wish you luck

I got into it again. Get nice pens, a nice notebook. Carry it everywhere. Make time to sit down and draw. The muscle memory is probably still there so the skills return quickly.

It's a nice zen activity. It forces you to go to nice places, slow down and notice stuff.
