Now you might not all understand that so what that means is, doing the things that make our lives enjoyable for ourselves, yes we all have to work to make money to live but life shouldn’t be all about working. If our lives are all about working, where do our hobbies come in? Or do they come in at all when that happens? Usually if we work ourselves to the bone we can feel it. However what happens we make our lives hobbiesque and live that way, do our hobbies become life? Yes they do and when that happens how does that make us feel?
