Shamelessly stealing this line of thinking to use in the future.

- Waterluvian 4y agoI love this line and I personally think there's nothing wrong with it (not that I'm suggesting anyone implied there is). And this is also how I separate my work from my hobby. I'm proud of those who can make money from a hobby, but I simply do not try. The motivations are fundamentally different and it changes how much I enjoy my hobby. I wish I learned this in my early 20s. I spent years thinking, "if it can't make money or someone's done it better, it's not worth doing."
