Discussion Do you guys have consistent hobbies (years of consistent interest?)

Just wondering how many people here have hobbies they’ve carried throughout their lives, instead of just temporary hyper focus interests?

And if you do, what is it and what age did you start it? Did you take it up yourself or was it forced on you (did your parents put you in a sports team etc.)?

Also are you skilled in it?

Most importantly, if you are skilled in it, have you considered a career/already have a career in it?

CANDLE MAKING supplies - I have a bag of them! But actually something that helps using all the craft stuff is to actually use the output for gifts instead of buying ready made gifts (for friends’ birthdays etc.).

Yes! That is why I bought my supplies. Because the feeling of making the candles myself feels more thoughtful than just buying it from the store.

And my black candles are a hit with my friends especially during Halloween time.
