Theyre also a great way to express yourself and discover new passions.
But what happens when your hobbies arent exactly yours?
When theyre more of a copy-paste situation, inspired by someone elses interests?

Every time her friend got a newboyfriend, she essentially downloaded his personality and hobbies like a software update.
Dating a blackbelt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?
Time to roll into the gym.
Crushing on a pastry chef?
Suddenly, shes all about baking croissants like shes auditioning for The Great Bake Off or something.
Interested in a guy with a snake collection?
Why not consider buying a cobra?
How are we casually glossing over buying a cobra, is beyond me.
But the latest hit?
Ouch, thats harsh.
And their mutual friends seemed to think so, too.
As you might imagine, thedinnergot a little awkward after that.
She swore up and down that she wasnt being cruel, just honest.
Maybe a little too honest, if you ask me.
But hey, at least she didnt end up with a pet cobra.
That would have been a fun story.
I get it; having hobbies is really important; they are not just time-fillers.
Theyre basically soul-boosters that give us a chance to step away from life for a sec.
Whether its painting, gardening, or gaming,hobbiesare little lifesavers.
Plus, they can make you a much more interesting person to talk to at parties.
