What's something that you used to be able to do but can no longer do?

Reading music notes for me.

Apparently one of the hardest things do/languages to read but I sadly lost that ability.

No longer being able to drive (when you could before) must suck.
Dunk a basketball, I had an ankle and a knee injury so I lost a bit of my jump height, but I'll get it back one day

I probably never want to drive but yeah it's annoying when you're not able to drive despite having done it legally before.

it just takes dedicated stretching! I'm hoping to achieve them as I've recently adopted yoga :yep:
Play the violin. I can still read music and play piano if I really want to, but I think if I picked up a violin today, I'd be at a loss :colondollar:
Read books
Dance, at least not properly due to ankle issues,

Smoke, I miss cigarettes.

I don't look as cool driving a sports car as If I was 20.

I can't accurately type for toffee. I used to spend lots of time working or writing, but in recent years it's just faded and I have to fix or edit most things.

Yeah, would be good if I learned how to read basic music notes again.

Poor attention span? I used to read a lot but stopped for a while and now my attention span is snapped. I have ordered a kobo though so I want to get back into it.
