Finding a New Hobby
The year is 2021. And we have all been stuck at home for about a year now, due to ‘a global pandemic’- I swear I’ll throw up if I hear this phrase one more time. I was in a strange place in my life - there have been several false starts and instances where things were finally looking up and well - at work and in personal life- until they weren’t. I had time on my hands and space in my mind under circumstances where both were unbidden for my mental health. I also had some dispensible cash from all the staying-home that I have been doing this past year. My trusted Google told me that all these could be put to good use in some investments (yeah, no!) or travel (yeah, right!) or to start some collections (yeah?!).
