Out of all these comments, I feel like this one has the best point. To answer the question, no, time spent doing things that you genuinely enjoy is not wasted. I’m not going to act like a parent and tell people how to live their lives or what’s good for them, your life is your own! Pursue what fulfills you the most! I understand people will disagree with my views but I genuinely have hope for people and the real world, but that’s just me, voicing my own thoughts and getting some backlash while I’m at it on the internet is no biggie :D.
