I'm not very good at many things, especially sports-related things. However, because I enjoy learning new things, I often go through this process of being bad at things very often. For instance, I started playing tennis, which I had always wanted to learn, during the pandemic. Initially, I was terrible at it, but I did not give up. Although it was challenging, I persevered, and I am now better at it. I am in Athens to learn Greek, and I anticipate that I will be terrible at it for the next five weeks. Nevertheless, I do not think everything needs to be fun, only when we excel. This constant comparison and pressure to be perfect in everything needs to stop. It's okay to be bad at something and still enjoy it. Not every hobby has to be a serious pursuit.
