I find that not doing something is relatively easy (like don't eat meat or stop alcohol, both of which I succeeded in), but starting something or gaining a new "habit" is damn near impossible. Basically it's the OP's scenario. Get super excited and way into whatever thing (go to the gym, study, get up early) then 2 weeks later it falls apart.
Been a KDE user for many years. I recently started using Niri with DankMaterialShell, and it's pretty awesome. I suspect at some point I'll drift back to my beloved KDE. But I'm loving the new shiny thing at the moment.
The food culture of Mexico is amazing, and if you're eating at the right places there is usually no option but to speak Spanish! I've had to request "más picante" before, though generally that is at restaurants used to serving gringos. At tianguis or taco guys on the street there's usually no problem getting the spice.
One of my proudest moments as a white dude who likes spicy stuff was when a buddy and I were hanging out with some local guys while on a trip to Mexico. I was just chowing down on some super hot salsa and one of the Mexican guys gets real excited and starts calling me "the blond Mexican". I'm sure my wife is tired of that story, but I will continue to tell it to her for the rest of my days.
I absolutely love driving my car, a manual VW GTI, which is pretty much a "driver's car" and I think it's dumb, too.
If people like it then that's cool, but not for me.
I don't get this kind of stuff at all. And this is coming from someone who drives a manual transmission car. Electric cars don't need transmissions, why would I want to pretend to shift gears? It's like the fake engine noise. Very silly.
