    I knit because I find the process enjoyable and because I can make exactly what I want or need. There’s no recognition in it, and it doesn’t save time or money, but I find it satisfying.

    I make drawings, well, just with black ink/ fineliner on paper. I have a box full of them and even have some on my wall. Never tried to sell them or even post them. The only people who know it are my husband, my parents, my brother and best friend. Only abstract, maybe tattoo-ish.

    Have done this since… highschool. Comes and goes in phases. When the mood strikes. Have always loved that my hand-eye coordination is so good, can make fluid lines and it almost looks like it’s printed. But well, I guess it’ll keep going unnoticed. ;)

    Woodworking - I’m not very good at it (yet) but I keep at it and I’m convinced someday I’ll make something really cool.

    I started playing bass guitar on Rocksmith about 5 years ago. I’m in the top ten on most songs on the medium difficulty, and have almost 1000 hours in the game.

    I’ve never actually played bass in front of anyone other than my ex, and I’ve never really tried to play without the game.

    At first I thought I wanted to get good enough to join a band, or at least play along with my family, all musicians, when they get together, but it turns out I just really enjoy spending a Friday night with a half pint of whiskey and jamming alone with headphones.

    Hiking: There is a small state park about 4 miles from my house. I go there on my lunch break and take at least a 2 mile hike. If it’s a day where I’m not busy I’ll go as much as 4.5 miles.

    I’ve loved hiking since I was a teenager. It’s my “me” time where I put in my earbuds and listen to an audiobook and just disengage from the rest of the world.

    I don’t really do anything at all for validation. I’m old and simply don’t give a fuck about that.

    I post and share photography. Some of my works that I think are mediocre get a lot of attention, and some of my most-loved works are nearly ignored.

    But I post for me.

    Drawing, I did a drawing recently of my persona Mew. I saw a movie with a drawn character and I became inspired enough to sit and draw for once.

    I am asking because I stream really boring streams all the time. People are welcome to tune in and check out, and there is no expectation of interaction at all. If someone gets some joy out of watching someone fly in a flight simulator listening to chill music for hours at a time, that’s great.

    It reminds me of this youtuber, who has thousands of videos with almost no views.
