I fully believe you can’t be happy without hobbies.
I don’t care how much you love your job or how fulfilling it is.
You have to have interests and focuses outside the grind to relax.
And sometimes those don’t jibe well. Like the race I’m doing tomorrow. Haven’t ridden at all this week because of insanity at work. And work may want to claim me tomorrow.
Gotta do the hobby so I stay functional. Gotta stay functional so I can be most effective at work.
