From Hobby To Job
Hobbies are things we do in our spare time in order to bring ourselves joy and enrich our own lives. It's something fun to do and gives us an opportunity to learn and enhance our skills. However, when a hobby begins to be monetized it slowly begins to mildly stress us out.
It's important to have a hobby that isn't your job or a hobby that's difficult to monetize because once a demand appears it feels like its inevitable to sell.

Society stresses us that success is in status and monetization, but success could also be being true to oneself.
