🫖 What We’re Steeping Today:
So, you picked up painting, crocheting, baking, or learning how to roller skate... and the first thing someone asked you was,
"Are you gonna start selling that?"
Let’s take a collective breath and say it louder for the people in the back:
Not every hobby needs to become a side hustle.
Sometimes you’re just vibing, finger-painting badly, burning banana bread, or doodling little frogs in a notebook — and it doesn’t need to pay your rent to matter.
✨ Soft Take of the Day:
Capitalism tricked us into thinking that if it’s not profitable, it’s not valuable. Lies! Hobbies are pure magic because they’re free from pressure.
🎨 Why You Should Protect Your Just-For-Fun Time:
-
Hobbies fuel creativity without deadlines.
-
Joy that doesn’t have KPIs hits different.
-
It’s radical to do things badly — and still keep doing them.
You’re not wasting time when you’re learning a TikTok dance at 1am for absolutely no reason except it makes you laugh. You’re living.
🧠 A Tiny Reminder:
You don’t have to monetize your joy. You don’t need to optimize your relaxation.
Let yourself be bad at things. Let yourself play.
🍵 Tea Leaves Summary:
-
Fun is a valid end goal.
-
Your hobby doesn’t need an Etsy shop or a business plan.
-
You’re allowed to suck at something — and love it anyway.
