    I am something of a hobby collector, but to keep it simple, there is one I will always recommend to almost anyone: Music!

    There are so many ways to get into it. You can learn an instrument, you can learn about synthesizers, you can learn to sing, you can learn music production, you can DJ, you can learn songwriting, lyricism, or arrangement. There’s just so many ways to get creative with sound, everything you need to learn is available for free online, and you can usually find cheap equipment on Craigslist, or at pawn shops/thrift stores/garage sales, or at your local music store to get you started.

    These days, you can even build a little home studio and produce professional sounding music for only a few hundred bucks, and so much of the software you need is free–in fact, a lot of it is even open source. I have been contributing to a massive list of great free and open source software, and there is a ton of audio software on here for all kinds of musicians/sound engineers: https://codeberg.org/ADHDefy/delightful-creative-tools#user-content-audio

    There’s also “A Free Studio” which recommends tons of free (mostly not open source) audio software: https://afreestudio.com

    Seriously, though, music is difficult to master but much easier to learn than most would think. If you’ve ever had a passing interest, check it out!
