Anyone else have a hobby that quietly turned into a small obsession without you noticing

Started with one houseplant during the pandemic, now I have somewhere north of forty plants and a genuinely detailed spreadsheet tracking watering schedules that I never intended to build in the first place

There's a specific pattern here that I think a lot of people recognize, a hobby starts small and completely reasonable, and then somehow years later you look around and realize it's taken over an actual room of your house

Curious what people's version is, the thing that started innocent and somehow became a genuine identity marker without any single deliberate decision along the way

Started with one aquarium, now have four tanks and an embarrassing amount of specialized equipment I never planned on owning
