For drawing self-promote commissions or print & sell copies of artworks, for guitar perform in a band on top of the practice, for basketball just train to a high level and play frequently, unless your innate abilities make it impossible to do so.
Is your self-pleasure intrinsically tied to how much money you can make? You can’t enjoy just doing hobbies for the sake of doing them even without the money?
Honestly no, I don't think so. I don't have hobbies anymore, for that reason.
These sets of phrases Ahri said are pretty revealing.
“Always quit doing something…can’t make money doing it” + “Don’t have hobbies anymore” means Ahri has given up.
Don’t worry, neither of us knows each other in real life. All I can say is that the phrasing of words can reveal a ton.
All I want is a private utopia vacuum just enough for myself. But I’m NOT selfish, it’d be nice if everyone else also had theirs, it’d be much better if everyone just follows their self-interests, that way no one is bothered. By self-interests I mean normal hobbies and desires, I don’t condone anything that threatens anyone’s peaceful lives.
