How many hobbies can you have?

KZbin shorts are limited to 60 seconds so when I finish with some of my longer animated stories I have to cut out some of the shots to make it fit. This one needed over 20 seconds of animation cut and I thought it lost some of the friendship between the two characters so here’s the original full animated story as a “regular” KZbin video! What do you think? Should I make more of these animations in the future? Maybe even longer still?

I think my hobby became watching instructional youtube videos to hide my obvious procrastination to do my chores, then forgetting my plans...I need to touch grass now...

My room is a lot like this as well. I have all sorts of supplies for various projects, but little that's actually done. I bounce from project to project. I got most of these supplies before I was diagnosed with ADHD, and even after medication I still rarely stick with one project all the way to the end. However now that I physically can focus, I have gone back and finished several. Right now I have a bucket list of unfinished projects to work on, but in my heart I know I'll never get it all done, especially because I still have the tendency to start new projects on a whim and then leave them untouched for months or years.

I collect diaries. I don't write into them. So yes, I collect empty Books. I love the endless possibilities of what I could do with them. Once I wrote or painted in them...those endless possibilities would become finite. So no. I just Let them be.

[@nyancorp]

So do I. 😊 The fancier the books are the less likely I‘ll ever use them because I want to keep them for very special notes like poems or novels which I‘m never going to write… 😅

[@smol-one]

This is genuinely sad. Imagine being an empty book, your entire purpose is to be filled and you just sit on a shelf. You wait and wait and wait and you're just left to rot there.

[@aporifera]

​@@smol-oneThis might sound surprising but I gotta break it to you. Books Don't Have Feelings. Their whole existence is to make people happy. If collecting fancy diaries makes one happy, then so be it.

[@ddebenedictis]

I have a few such books, some very nice ones, others just notebooks...even though I pragmatically understand that even if there is only one blank page left, the possibilities are still infinite. Sometimes I just enjoy thinking about what I might use one of them for.

[@schattentaenzerin]

I do exactly the same with fabric and yarn. They could be ANYTHING! They could be the coolest thing! That is, until I start making something out of them. Then they lost the possibility to become something else. I know it stops me from actually crafting. But I can't seem to act against this 😅

YEs! My art room/ studio is full of everything. I do a fair bit of artwork! I even started a utube art channel. Not this one. After a car accident I can only paint or draw in small timed increments so I make time but I still procrastinate. I realise now that like most people I took my skills for granted and now I wish I had of done more art but it’s all good. I got to play in a semi successful band and worked at Disney and Hanna Barbera as a cel painter. I’m on disability now but hey, I’m happy and grateful to be alive and able to walk after a severe neck injury. Please all who do art and craft, make time for it, as you never know what’s around the corner. Life’s too short. Love this comic and love to all ❤🥰✨

[@lespantalonsfancie2434]

​@@moonkatmagic5599thank you, this comment is what I knew deep down but still needed to hear. I have a love for making 1:12 scale miniatures (as well as many other craft pursuits), but have not worked on them for many months now. I'm unsure what's holding me back (some sort of psychological block) but I'm also noticing my eyesight is progressively getting worse which means my time to enjoy them could be limited. I need to pick up on my hobbies again before it's too late 😢.

Having a hobby room is good when they eventually had kids. A room dedicated to finding out what is interesting. With proper guidance and practice they'll be able to achieve some progress and eventually settle or find a different hobby they think will suit them; granted they see inspiration from their parents using/having a hobby(ies)

I can completely relate. I love researching and learning to do things on my own. Among them are C++ programming, photoshop, advanced excel functions, drawing, 3D modelling with blender, Zbrush, videogame programming and design with Unreal Engine, html programming and css web page design, piano, book writer and layout, language learning... etc. It is true that it takes a long time to make progress. Many times when I focus on one of these skills for a while, I tend to forget the functions of each of them because I finish projects and continue others on other platforms. That's why for some time now I have been taking note of any step or function that each program has so that I don't forget what I have learnt and have worked so hard to collect information on how to do it.

[@NathanMellor]

I like to crochet. It's a multi-dimensional hobby. There is the hobby of purchasing the yarns. Then there's the assessories. Next, you have to have patterns. And on Pinterest, I have all the saved crocheted products I want to make. Which brings me to the final hobby of crocheting as a hobby: organizing each of the former mentioned hobbies. 🤭

[@PenneySounds]

This would be me if I had money

[@Melds]

Starting hobbies and projects is fun! Something completely new to learn all about. After that it's just a task. I choose to learn the basics of everything!

[@otherlego]

I love longer form videos. If you choose to do more of them (on purpose, instead of just having a script run a bit longer than shorts allows) you should make them in widescreen.

[@brynjapanese4192]

This is fairly accurate in my case, although I do actually finish my projects, in time though 😅 I procrastinate to much, but when I actually put my head down I can finish any projects in a decent time period

[@TrueKivan]

I have like 20 hobbies I rotate around. This video is spot on, it's all about the research and preparation, usage is optional. I still use my sim rig from time to time and it's great, but it was the research and assembly that I enjoyed so much. Or get a huge collection of a niche genre movies - requiring research - then proceed to never watch them.

[@DawnDavidson]

Hahahah! YES! I do Zentangle drawing. I have a fairly ridiculous number of pens and other materials at this point. Fortunately my book collection has gone mostly to audiobooks, which take up no physical space. It has been very difficult to let go of the physical books though, even though I really don’t have much room for them anymore. And then there is my ex, who used to start new hobbies every two years or so. Photography, fountain pens, computer equipment, historical costuming …. I recognize the Hobby Room, for sure! 😂

[@gadgetgirl02]

I have met so many people like this. Part of it is how narrowly we define "hobby" (just as "hobby" has grown to mean "anything you do that's not for money"). I sew, knit, crochet, embroider, tat, rug hook, needlepoint, and bead, but it's all towards clothing or household items, and it's better described under the general term "needlework", not least because of the overlap in tools and materials. I find people who make researching the hobby into the hobby tend not to think about the end goal of creating things. They just like the acquisition part. Which I guess is fine if they eventually have a good garage sale 😊

I kinda relate to this - I got into a phase where I thought repairing old electronics was cool, and I opened up my old DS Lite I don't use anymore to fix some button contacts - that was it, that's all that came of that. Another time I got into retro console modding and made a nice Wii setup with a handful of mods on it - used that Wii to play one game after, and it is now in my closet. Taught myself how to draw with the help of the internet, practiced for a few months before I started to actually be happy with how the drawings turned out, and I rarely ever draw anymore. Etcetera, etcetera. Basically the only individual hobbies I come back to consistently are video games, books, and music.
