Novelty Never Lasts

One thing I have recently begun to learn in life is that the novelty of anything, given a little bit of time, no matter how fascinating or unusual it was at first, usually wears off quicker than one would prefer. I have found this to apply to nearly everything I have experienced in my life, and a frightening term comes to mind. 'jaded.' At least it should be frightening to a mere seventeen year …

…but I am confident that this jadedness is just a passing phase. In the past year, I have unfortunately discovered the truth behind the cliché that 'familiarity breeds contempt.' While I don't hold these activities in contempt (yet), I certainly no longer look forward to movies, pizza, playing pool, or traveling with quite the same interest and enthusiasm I used to bring to the activities. Perhaps it is time to find some new hobbies.
