I keep seeing my SO run into the same loop for all their hobbies.
Finds fun activity
Likes it enough to be a true hobby
Tries to monetize the hobby
Loses interest because it stresses them out as it turns into a lot of work.
Drops hobby
It’s sad to see it keep happening the same way over and over again. I try to convince them it should just be fun but the, “yea but it could be fun and make money” argument always comes up. Why does everything always boil down to money. Like fuck me, I just wanna have fun and see people around me have fun separately from their financial position.
