RE: Burn out is real?

in SublimeSunday2 years ago (edited)

Here's the thing @grindle If I was doing any of this stuff for the rewards I would have never done any of it.

I did it because I enjoyed the process whether taking photos or making videos it is/was just a great fun hobby.

I learned a lot of new things in the process which is rewarding enough in itself. I enjoy learning.

I'm lucky that I don't need to make money from my hobbies but at the same time if people think it is of some value to them and they upvote it. I'm not going to turn it down.

I'm not thinking about financial rewards (I've made plenty) just a general lack of my direction at the moment.

I'm pretty sure that you would still be clambering around in those abandoned buildings regardless of whether you were making money from the activity?

I'm sure most of us do these things that people call content primarily because we enjoy doing it?

If I wanted to make money I would still be teaching lol.

This is supposed to be fun?

It's a bit like those tv bingo ads!

When it stops being fun...stop!

PS I don't drink lol maybe I should take it up?

A kindred spirit! My feelings entirely, I was persuaded to come here by a fellow traveller @slobberchops > I haven't a clue still, what the hive is all about, but I love it!! I like my hobby and my camera; and here it is far more grown up than fuckbook, or meta or whatever twat face is calling it these days.

It is never too late to imbibe the odd glass!!!

I haven't got a clue either about how hive works which is shocking considering that I teach computer science. I know the blockchain stuff and databases but as to the rest of it...clueless lol

It is never too late to imbibe the odd glass!!!

I might've had a drop or two back in the old days but my body and brain just doesn't like the after effects.

I'll stick with Adam's ale 😂👍🏼
