[quote=Anonymous]I have a close friend who did literally every activity under the sun as a kid and young adult - dance, gymnastics, martial arts, music (both singing and instruments), sports, swimming, and I know I’m forgetting some. The positives: they are still in great shape, still participate in many of those activities, and are an extremely interesting person people love to be around. Did very well on the dating market when young (who doesn’t want to sleep with a gymnast?). The negatives: although they did well in school, they loved activities so much that rather than finding a solid career, they pieced together coaching various sports and activities. Which paid okay, not great, but they lost all their main coaching gigs during COVID. Never fully recovered. They also have a LOT of old injuries that caught up to them, and even though they stay in shape, are in a lot of pain. [/quote]
