Yeravos Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 I had a lot of fun talking and thinking about this. Hobbies! What are they for? What are they even? Can you have hobbies when the world is on fire? Also, being crazy about your passions! Let me know what you think Video is improvised, none-scripted and kind of crazy. You have been warned! 1
Rachelle Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Hey, I enjoyed watching your video it brought a smile to my face. For two mains reasons, one it was nice to watch someone be so enthusiastic about fighting evil, and two I appreciate someone taking action and opening themselves up to others, I thought it was brave to talk a little bit about your personal life. I don't think your first response to her question was bad at all, sounded honest to me, except maybe it would have been even more honest to say that you had questions about hobbies, or you're curious what she considers a hobby to give you a better idea of what she was asking. I don't think your response to her question was boring, and even if she considered it boring it's not like asking "What are your hobbies?" is super exciting or interesting, but if you failed at achieving a standard you had set for yourself, like somehow being more exciting in your responses, then I can understand if you're being critical of yourself. So yeah, moving on to the second response... I don't see how you're being weird because you're passionate about fighting evil and being a good person. Those are admirable goals and values, it's not cool to see you mock that part of yourself, instead I agree with the part of you that seems to take enjoyment out of your own passion and joy for these values you have and wish to achieve and that if people don't appreciate that, are disinterested or call you weird or crazy, then yeah don't need those people in your life. I don't know what happened with the girl but it sounds like she missed out on a good opportunity to have an interesting conversation about hobbies and fighting evil.As for the topic of hobbies, I've personally always had a hard time understanding what one can consider a hobby, and I guess it's always sounded like something not to be taking seriously in one's life so I never liked using the word to describe what I enjoy doing in my life because what I enjoy is serious and precious to me. However, I do think part of the reason why I have such a dislike towards the word is because of my history and how people in my life have treated my personal interest as a joke or not to be taking seriously. Since I've realized this I don't take offense when other people use the word, and it's funny I happened to see your video because I just started using the word recently myself when speaking of my drawing. Kind of like testing out the word and taking it back for myself, while I examine how it makes me feel when I use it in conversations or when writing.Haha, I would've considered more seriously of making a video in response but I don't have the stuff to do that at the moment, nor do I think myself brave enough yet. Thanks again, watching your video was a good way to end my night. 1
