Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:
The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;
If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;
Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.
I worked in policy advocacy for 15+ years; I let my hobbies atrophy for a long time and it was a huge mistake. Now I'm fully burned out, and barely remember how to play music or write for pleasure. Thankfully started GMing again, which has been my only refuge. Don't be me.
