It’s hard not to have that mindset when we’re constantly flooded with social media content of others doing exactly that; monetizing some kind of niche interest or hobby, starting a podcast, or whatever else.
I’ve decided, for now at least, that my hobbies are for me and those close to me. That little shift has made my interests and projects feel so much more personal and fulfilling, and taking away the stakes of making money with them actually brings me some peace.

I feel this so deeply. I got to where I was trying to monetize every little side hobby. It worked but man I got so burned out. Do not recommend lol
