Talks about otome games, drama cds, and occasionally provides advice? Running away endlessly from my backlog of hobbies.

One day at a time, one step at a time! I'm glad my words were able to bring you some comfort! I thought about this just now, but you can also consider turning some hobbies into monetary ventures. Normally, I'm resistant to this idea because I don't like our current generation of turning everything into a business, but this is another one of those things that can let you experience whether or not you want to go deeper into any aspect of it.

For example, it's because I've done hand crafts that I realized I don't like gathering and storing so much material. It's because I've done script writing and been on a film set that I know I don't want to be in that industry, haha. And it's while doing commissions and considering going freelance with writing or translations that I realized, while I don't mind data entry in spreadsheets to keep track of things, I don't like marketing and the pressure of a schedule for creative things.

We're too used to thinking we have to commit 100% to something and take it to the very end or not do it at all. However, when you don't know what you want to do, then this sort of exploration is priceless. In my opinion, the only important thing is to treat what you're doing 100% seriously and be passionate for it, however long or short its duration. As the complimentary version of this saying goes, "Jack of all trades, master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one." Getting a variety of experiences, even if you have to backtrack, will only enrich your life!

I'm sort of at a loss for words. I read it the day you replied and still didn't have any words. I teared up honestly. I keep going back and rereading it. I really needed that. So yeah, thank you for the amount of kindness and compassion your reply exuded. I still feel the same way, for the most part, but one day at a time. I'll definitely look into the options you listed. with deep gratitude (இ﹏இ`｡)
