The dog-eat-dog urban jungle where I reside doesn't allow the pursuit of many hobbies. I've basically shed all my long-ago hobbies simply due to the demands of city living. It's an hour commute via train to my workplace; and an hour to return each evening.
After my shift--and grabbing some nutrition--then naturally one has to put in an hour of fitness just to stay in shape. By then it's around 9pm. What kind of hobby can generate interest at 9pm on a weeknight? Not very many. Usually just crack open a book to keep up with my reading goals.
Therefore creative writing is really the best hobby and that's why it's my #1 past-time. I can do it anywhere; it costs nothing, and it is very restful. And it's a hobby which could conceivably generate supplemental income. Win/win.
Other hobbies usually mean going outside (bad weather?); going some place & returning (no time?) or hassling with crowds of other urbanites who have the same hobby (stress level?) or paying some fee to someone.
And then something else: as the www has taken over life, most people have become zombie-dronez who really don't even look up from their palm-devices anymore. So even if you have a hobby, it is invisible unless you somehow reproduce it & repackage it on the net. People get their life from Youtube, Netflix, and similar portals. If they encounter anything standing right before them, they don't see it, question it, or understand it. Much less can they converse with you about what you're doing. So, why bother? Why bother with any hobby which contributes to society-- when no one is even raising their head? Why draw, sculpt, paint, craft, or compete? I think all that has vanished. We're in a dystopia where people gaze at glass screens all day, like goldfish.
Sorry, just the way I feel about it right this moment.
