Hobbies are wonderful as a means to pass the time when we are running out of options like during the pandemic lockdowns restrictions. I have developed so many new skills that I didn't think I had in me. I'm glad to have "discovered myself" during that time.

You're right. I've always had quite a few. Like cooking my evening meal when I came home from work rather than sitting in some restaurant alone, ordering food that wasn't good for me, and wondering when I would have someone to share it with mournfully. Instead, I watched the evening news, unwinding from the stress of freeway commuting and putting up with my boss's idiotic and wasteful, time-consuming requests.

Now, writing is my greatest outlet like yours. When I write like now, I forget all the pain in my tightening muscles and any thoughts I had about something bad that happened or is about to happen or whatever.
