I'm not sure how a midlife crisis would look for me because I've basically kept the same weird interests I had as a teen.
So basically a life-long midlife crisis?
๐
Entire-life crisis
Nice live you have...
Ooooo!! ๐โโ๏ธ, I can relate to that!
I guess so. Is that really a crisis if it's basically what you do though?
My friends and family seem to think so
similar, i went from not having transportation besides my feet to having an ebike. we joke that it's my midlife crisis, but really it's just my transportation.
my midlife crisis will involve so many saxophones. when i can afford a midlife crisis.
I have a very mild case of that in that I bought a weird traditional flute from Japan a couple of months ago. It looked cool and a game character I like has one. A bit hard to play, but I'm getting there.
It'll certainly be a lot more expensive, but I wish you a future crisis full of epic sax all the same.
What flute and game was it?
A shinobue, a transverse flute made of bamboo (well, traditionally, mine is not too bad but it's plastic. One day, maybe).
The game is Xenoblade Chronicles 3. The two protagonists play the shinobue as a ritual to send off people who have passed.
I like Okami too, and I believe Waka's flute in that game is also a shinobue.
I bought an electric flute/recorder but never got around to learning it. Xenoblade Chronicles is on one of my list to eventually play.
Wish you well with learning it.
Thank you. i'm probably going to get the electric sax before i get the bass (if i'm spending 30 grand on an instrument i have a few others ahead of the bass sax), but we can dream.
Yeah, my midlife crisis was basically, I just got extra bored at work and spent more time doing all the usual non-work activities. Finally resolved when I decided I didn't need to work any more, which gave me a lot more time for all of teenage-me's favorite things. Wasn't even tempted to buy a Corvette.
