TIFU by losing my passion for music

I am a freshman in college now, and in high school, toward the end of junior year, I decided I would love to learn a new instrument. I'd played trumpet since 5th grade, and was very into music, band, and everything surrounding it. I loved (and still do love) the sound of the Saxophone, so I decided to keep playing trumpet for band, but learn Alto Sax on the side in my free time. I was extremely excited and rented a Saxophone from a local shop for a few months, took private lessons, researched new mouthpieces and ligatures, I tried everything and was very passionate about my new hobby. I would bring it to school and sit in a practice room during my off periods and practice, I spent all of my time on this.

Flash forward to now... I've just finished my first semester in college, and have met people and done things that I have never thought about before. I got really into rock climbing and snowboarding, I also spend a lot of time at the gym. My life took a 180 where I used to like sitting and focusing on a hobby that wouldn't require me to be all too active, whereas now I love getting up and doing stuff and can't find myself sitting around too long.

This is all great. I'm active and social and having a blast at college, except earlier this year I bought myself a saxophone so that I wouldn't have to rent one anymore. It was around March, and I spent my savings from a few years to get a really nice quality horn. I settled on a Yamaha YAS-62 iii, which to save you a google search costs in the realm of $4,000, little more or less depending. I even splurged and got the dark amber lacquer for an extra cost.

So now I have lost most my passion for playing and performing music, but am stuck with a professional quality instrument. My consciousness won't let me sell it, but I feel no passion for Saxophone anymore and gain no pleasure from forcing myself to practice.

TL;DR: I bought a new high quality saxophone before coming to college, but upon trying new activities here I can't find passion for sitting down and playing saxophone anymore

TIFU almost so bad by not unlogging from this Reddit account

I use this Reddit account to mod r/hearhimfuck , watch my porn and answer NSFWAMA when I feel like it. I religiously log off completely after every time because I don't want my partner or anyone knowing about this account. It's the holidays and we are all busy so I had a quick session with myself and ran to get a shower and leave for another family Christmas dinner. My phone stayed in my purse the whole evening. By the end there's 6 of us left and we're sitting in the living room, having mellow conversation. Pets are discussed and photos shown. Someone asks about my dogs so I go fetch my phone and sit back on the couch. As soon as I unlock it, there's a full blown ANAL clip playing. Fortunately, the sound was off. I manage to turn the sound all the way down and shut the app without anyone seeing. TLDR; Iwas THIS close from having hardcore porn blasting surrounded by my parents, my partner, an aunt and a two cousins. I can't imagine the aftermath of what could...

TIFU by fucking my coworker

Happened a couple of days ago, but yeah, as the title says... Oops... We've worked together for about a year now; we've always been friendly, but I never really clocked her as a potential romantic option; she's my coworker, she had a boyfriend when we started working together, and to be honest I just thought she was completely out of my league: I'm a schlub and she is gorgeous So when she texts me asking if we want to hang out after work, I genuinely thought nothing untoward would happen; I thought we were just going to chill and watch cartoons; and for a while we were just having a nice platonic hangout. But we got very drunk, and eventually she was giving me the bedroom eyes and saying we should make out. I very emphatically said that was a bad idea, but she kissed me anyway, and at that point I really lost any semblance of self-restraint.. I am not proud of myself, at all. I can tell myself that she came onto me, but ultimately I also comepletly let it happen. No...

TIFU by shopping on Amazon

So I have an Amazon account, and a family. Anyhow, the person I'm seeing likes to do things with me... try new things if you know what I mean 😏 Recently I've ordered a few packages with adult toys, swing, etc. And... clone a willy. It came in yesterday while I was out. While I was out I got a notification that the cloning kit came in. I sent my son a text asking him to bring my Amazon package in. He said he had already. I didn't think much of it. Until last night when I went to go... use it. I asked my son where the package was on my way out the door. He asked "The plant stand or the cloning kit?". Mind you, the boxes DO NOT say what the contents are, nor were they opened. He must have realized what he said because my face is a goddam story book. I just stood there silent and shocked. He pointed towards the closet. This has been going on for ages, but he has NEVER indicated knowing what's in the packages. So now my teenage son knows his mom is a freak. ...
