As we grow up , simple joys of life are replaced by many responsibilities and liabilities.So people either don't have time or don't have enough money to pursue one of their childhood's favorite pastimes.They often think it as another burden to be added on their to-do list.
What people fails to understand that ,hobbies have a profound effect on us-physically ,mentally and emotionally.In short ,Hobbies have a positive effect on life.People doesn't necessarily needs to have an expensive hobby.Some very simple and easy-to-do hobbies can help us unwind. Personally I think hobbies are one of those things which are always "custom-made ".People can always choose the time ,tastes,size and shapes of their hobby.Hence hobbies has a flexible character in them.We feel freedom .We feel such passion towards it.We cherish it. We nurture it. We get emotionally attached to it, so naturally its close to our heart no matter what hobby it is. we practically "court" our hobby.
Having a hobby is always an uplifting experience.
We get such joy and fulfilment out of our hobbies that it cant be an unimportant wastage.with so much flexibility with it ,why we repeatedly need an excuse to keep it at arms length ?anything with so much positive energy flowing from cant be all bad and wastage.Since it comes in all sizes and shapes its always advisable to pick up the positive ones.
