Something you enjoy now that you didn't expect to

Could be an activity, routine, or mindset you didn't think you'd like at first. I think we all have those things that initially seemed like they wouldn't be for us, but then somehow we ended up enjoying them more than we expected. It's interesting how our preferences can change over time. For me, I never thought I'd enjoy cooking, but after trying it out of necessity, I found it to be quite therapeutic. There's something satisfying about following a recipe and creating something edible, and now I genuinely look forward to meal prep time. Was there ever something you thought you'd hate but ended up enjoying? What changed your mind about it? Do you think you were wrong about your initial judgment, or did the activity itself grow on you over time? And do you have other things on your list that you're skeptical about but might be willing to try?

It's funny how we surprise ourselves; I never thought I'd like running, but now it's my go-to for clearing my mind. Sometimes you just need to

Why did you think you'd hate cooking in the first place? It's pretty wild how our tastes evolve, but honestly, if you give something a real

Sounds nice, but isn't it a bit clich to say you found cooking therapeutic?
