Another aphorism: “If you make your hobby your job, it won’t be fun anymore/will feel like work” – if you’re taking it seriously, it should already feel like work, because it is. People say this to me a lot when I mention planning to quit my “real job”, and I want to smack them. You can enjoy something and have it still feel like work. Even something like “grinding” on a video game becomes a “slog” at some point.

That’s so very true! I think people say that kind of shit out of envy, frankly.
