A lot of times, the things that we are calling hobbies are more productive, so it’s like “Oh, my hobby is to go running!” but it’s like, well you go running because that also is checking the box if you need to exercise so you can say it’s productive.
Women have notoriously have a really difficult time with just kind of like leisure, so having fun but if it has no purpose, then it’s not serving anybody.
Guilt and shame are built into these things where we’re always supposed to be doing things and serving other people.
It’s time for us to start and do stuff just because we like it and not based on how we will serve other people.
