The funniest part is that you can’t escape. This is it
every morning I wake up and think of these words from philosopher cher
back again encouraging people to start using the hobby stuff they've been acquiring for years
reasons to start can include:
the hobby industry wants only for us to keep buying and never use, so using the stuff pushes back
some hobby items do not survive long term storage
if there's some craft or hobby thing that you want to do but feel your skills aren't up to, consider that those skills won't improve if you don't practice on other things
using it allows it to move from the hobby hoard to the [whatever you made it into] hoard, where you may be more likely to enjoy it more often than just when you specifically look at the hobby hoard
making things is good for the brain
curious to see what other reasons people might add
