What's one thing that you valued highly before but no longer do?

I used to brew my own beer now don’t even drink at all.

Fuss with hair and make-up…that was a very long time ago.

I used to be more of a foodie than I am now.

Play video games.

@janbb: Remember the days of fondu and boeuf Wellington or did you escape that?

I knitted prolifically. I always had a work-in-progress, and I turned-out projects regularly. Oddly, and for reasons that I can’t describe or understand, I haven’t done any knitting for at least a few years.

Well, if I’m thinking about it, I must be starting to miss it. Maybe I’ll rediscover my old hobby soon.

I used to draw and paint prolifically; for a while I thought I might pursue life as a visual artist—now I find i hard to write my name – I have used a keyboard for so long. I haven’t drawn in many many years.

Skip school, I don’t do that anymore, I’m paying for the class with my own money.

Having a “six pack”.

I am not getting sloppy, don’t get me wrong, but I am OK being a little bit looser in the cage than I was when I was an instrument of death.

To be totally fair, it is really tough for tall guys (I am 6’4” give or take) to get a “six pack” anyway. It was easy to give up.

@josie I had a 4 pack once. Almost to six than I stopped working out. Never went back… I kind of regret that.

I played WoW. And crocheted constantly. I’m getting back into crocheting a bit more.

I used to always want the latest electronic gadget or gaming console. Then I asked myself “why” and couldn’t think of any valid reason other than “just because”. I stopped caring and haven’t had a new electronic gadget/console in years.

Fashion trends. I’m embarrassed enough just to admit it.

Chess and summer vacations.

The concept of marriage. I’m working on my second divorce at the moment.

I stopped going to church as soon as I could once I stopped believing in God. But maybe that’s too obvious to count (though it was very important to me when I believed). So a better example might be that I almost never do much in the way of musical work anymore. I have degrees in performance and composition, and I’ve done professional work in each, but that’s gone very much to the side since I started graduate school.

Indentured servitude to one company. I like my freelance life a whole lot better.

I used to really value an active social life. Nowadays, I prefer a good book or an engrossing project over socializing.

I also took great pride in being an super-size-mega-ultra-over-achiever. Now. Meh.

Nothing. I guess when I truely give something up, I forget that I ever cared.

Looking “good” everyday.
I’m not currently working. If I am staying home for an entire day, on go the sweats and up goes the ponytail.

^^ Who says you can’t look great in sweats and a ponytail?

Other people’s opinion of me. It took a long time before I understood the concept that other people’s opinion of me are none of my business.

Like @SavoirFaire, after I stopped attending church, I realized my happiness and closeness with my Deity increased. God is not the problem, it’s His followers that are.

@KNOWITALL Amen.

@stanleybmanly We never took summer vacations sadly. We saved enough for the boys to go to a great summer camp for 8 weeks ever summer so that kinda put a snafu on a summer vacation of us.

I so wish I traveled more “Life is a series regrets my lady.” Legend

For myself, the concept of marriage.

Eat Pop Tarts.
