Seeking Advice About Hobbies (and feeling forced into them)

article image placeholderUploaded by @OKRL
I think I also like, maybe there's, like, a drive because I want to make something good, but I don't know. I feel like it shouldn't be how it is. And I wanted to know if anyone else has maybe struggled with this in the past, like feeling like you have to do your hobbies and that you should because you enjoy them, and this should be fun. You should be having a good time while you're doing it

And without a kitchen in DG, I oftentimes just feel like I don't have my little hobby anymore, so it can definitely be hard. Like you always want what you can't have. But then whenever I'm home, I always just want to take out. So yeah, I totally get that. And I hope that you get back into music because that's super duper awesome. And I also love music

And it's so easy to let your hobbies and the things that you really love kind of like push it to the side because it suddenly feels like a chore, and it's not something that you have to get done, whereas turning in an assignment you do. So I'm definitely in the same boat as you're. And I hope that we can find our way out of this, but definitely agree with you

I once had an idea, I think two years ago and I tried writing on it, and I just found so much more difficult to gain that mindset because I've been writing nonfiction, so much for school assignments, and also for me, I'm more of a technically oriented person, if that makes sense. I've always enjoyed Stem, specifically the biological Sciences, reading papers. At one point, I had a lot of internship where I was doing a lot of that

Hi, Oscar. Okay to start off. I really like your 100 Gex poster. I'm also 100 Gex fan, unfortunately, but yeah, it's a little shame in full to some people. Anyway, I know what you mean about hobbies, especially artistic ones, because it's hard to force yourself to be creative. And, for example, I really like to watercolor. And I haven't really done that much here at school, because similarly, I do not have time to do so
