"That passion you have for art... perhaps making your painting commercial enough to sell will squeeze the joy out of it."
Once you cross the line of doing something to pay the bills, instead of doing it for the joy of doing it, then it becomes work. And, work, ultimately sucks.

- kirse 18y agoI was trying to figure out when a hobby I love turns into something I hate, and you just nailed it for me. Needed to pay bills = work. It also becomes work once you believe you have to turn your hobby into something that makes money (because everyone - especially this site - tells you to find your passion and then make money from it). Some pursuits are better left intrinsicly rewarding.
