There are some things you only need to do once. I went to a drive thru holiday lights display a few years ago, no desire to do something like that again. Nashville is a place I’ve only ever felt the need to go to once. An 8 hour hike through New Hampshire mountains was certainly something I only needed to do once.
They’re fun to experience, but not something you ever really need to do again.
Unfortunately, I feel like a lot of my experiences lately are things I only need to do once – and they’re not even that fun. Like I’m running out of unique experiences to have.
I’m just in this funk where nothing feels new to me anymore. And every time I try to find something enjoyable to do, it’s reminiscent to one of those only-do-once things. But it’s nothing monumental like a 9 hour hike. It’s another museum trip. Another “interactive experience”. Another thing that takes time to drive to, a few hours of crowds, and then it’s over.
Recently, the idea of going out and doing things just brings me dread because of this. So I haven’t been doing anything at all. I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve receded too far into my comfort zone, or if I’m just approaching a new phase in life and haven’t found what qualifies as fun yet.

This makes me sad. Do you think there is a way that you can try and reframe each experience as something different? As an example: I used to, like most everyone else, dislike rainy days. They were dark, gloomy, dreary… but then I forced myself to rethink how to view rain; cleansing, healing, nurturing. I take comfort in the ‘gloom’ now mostly preferring it to the harshness of the bright sun. Just a thought…

Maybe! I think the repetition bothers me though so I would just get bored of the reframe haha

I hope you figure this out… this doesn’t sound like a fun place to be.

Hmm that’s quite difficult! Sometimes unique experiences are to be treasured – which is why they’re unique, but I do understand what you’re saying about wishing there were more! Maybe it’s about exploring yourself as well as new places too?! 😆

I like what you said about unique experiences needing to be treasured! Maybe I need to put more weight into those experiences and care a little less about the ones in between
