I'm a dilettante.

 

[dil-i-tahnt, dil-i-tahnt, -tahn-tey, -tan-tee]

noun, plural dilettantes, dilettanti

​

1. a person who takes up an art, activity, or subject merely for amusement, especially in a desultory or superficial way; dabbler.

2. a lover of an art or science, especially of a fine art.

1733, borrowing of Italian dilettante "lover of music or painting," from dilettare "to delight," from Latin delectare. Originally without negative connotation, "devoted amateur," the pejorative sense emerged late 18c. by contrast with professional.
