Macro photography is rather, well...limiting. I wouldn't want to do it for very long as a hobby, either...and I'm a photographer. Too tedious and uninspiring. You'd seldom get an 'epic' macro photo.
Plus...photography of any sort these days generally involves a computer (which you didn't want to involve).
Don't be so quick to put the camera away, though. Get outside with it and find a niche that interests you. It might take awhile...but the more time you spend taking pics...the better you get...and the more pleased you might be with the results. I loathed and hated every college photo assignment I had to do - and nearly put photography on the shelf forever back in the day. But I lucked out and found a niche that I really enjoyed (and no, not just the adult) - urban exploration and abandonments. It revived my enthusiasm - and the more abandonments I shot - the better the images became (practice makes perfect...as they say).
