I think just about everyone here knows my hobby. As for it making things “ok”, I don’t really see it that way because things are good anyway. Rather, I view my time working on my models as a way to unplug and just relax. I think everyone should have something like that. It could be fishing, running, hiking, hunting, working on cars, collecting stamps, cooking (another side hobby of mine), or whatever. But everyone should have some sort of hobby.

I think you’re right. That’s not a good combination. You should find a hobby.
