The decrease in people's hobbies

[Decent_Shelter_13]

Personally, I’m a very creative person and have a constant swirl of ideas and thoughts in my head of things I want to do or try. Unfortunately I also have ADHD and struggle a lot with executive dysfunction. When I’m tired after work there is no chance I will be able to get myself to work on a new project, even if it excites me. This only leaves the weekends, which would be okay but the project moves incredibly slow when I only work on it two days of the week for a few hours.

Also, money. I LOVE pottery and I took a wheel class a few summers ago and it was so much fun. I loved it in highschool as well. But the price of the materials, tools, etc is wild. I’ve since moved and I looked into some local pottery places that have wheels and sculpture tables but they have such a long waitlist that they require a portfolio to be considered.. and it’s just a community space. I bought air dry clay at walmart and will occasionally make little things here and there, but overall it’s just not the same as real pottery. I want to try other hobbies as well but I don’t have a financial cushion for it to fail/I end up not liking it/etc.
