I love this and I need this!! Also working on accepting that I won’t be immediately good at every hobby and fighting the urge to monetize anything I am good at. Because there is innate value in these experiences.

Soooo true!!! Some things are just meant to be enjoyed by yourself (and maybe some friends and family). This society definitely has a tendency to want to commodify everything

Biiiiig hobby lover over here! It's funny, because I tend to think of it as a negative that I have "so many" hobbies and think, why can't I just pick one? Who cares?!! It's an act of rebellion, creation, self expression—more ways to get to know myself and connect to others past and present.

Exactly!! I’m also a huge believer in having many skills under your belt, so the more hobbies the more knowledge you have

I love this sooo much. Today I'm thinking a lot about how to soften and retain my humanity, when the looming darknesses of winter and the political landscape and my attachment style leach into my peripheral. This is so real; valuing the humanity of hobbies and grounding into my body to make things. Not just becoming AI, but melting down to the sweetest essence of humanness. Ty xo

Thank you so much for reading! You explained it perfectly- when it comes down to it that’s all we have as humans! It should be valued!
