Ode to
the Hobby
I believe an important factor in the human experience is the ability to pursue hobbies. Hobbies create purpose by providing healthy objectives to work towards and gain achievement from. In a society where most waking hours are spent providing labor, the freedom to engage in a hobby offers otherwise stolen peace of mind and “play” time. Hobbies are special, prized activities that give a reason to wake up in the morning. They shape individual character and personality. I am interested in investigating human purpose through this form of leisure. By exploring the hobbies of others, I intend to uncover untold stories about purpose and passion to visualize the often discounted importance of hobbies in our everyday lives.
