I think writing as a hobby is definitely a positive one. For introverts like me, it's a good outlet to type my thoughts out (versus finding someone to talk to).
I used to be a planner in and out (probably still am now), but over time, I have learnt to cope with last minute changes or life happenings better. I guess it's part of growing up and being more independent.
Cheers!
I think it's great you have an outlet man! That's important for so many reasons, mentally and psychologically!
I do like to plan a lot more than I used to, but I'm also incredibly spontaneous so I think it's a good blend!
