Hobbies are something we all need to do. It may be a bit of exaggeration, yes, but one needs something to occupy the idle time in their days. This will also help keep you sane. It may be a bit over the top, but it's true to a certain extent. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
What you decide to do with your free time is up to you, but I suggest that you zone in on something particular. If you try to be a jack-of-all-trades with various hobbies, you will end up mastering none of them. Certainly, it is better to be good at one thing than be mediocre in a bunch of other things. Be a dog trainer, or start a collection of some sort. But don't do both; not until you've mastered one, at least.
The most intriguing hobbies I've come across is the collection of one's own crafted pieces. It doesn't matter what crafts these are, as long as you put in considerable time and effort towards making and perfecting them, they're sure to be an object of pride. As another piece of advice, I suggest sticking to small types of crafts, as you don't want your home cluttered up with piles of them as the days go by.
Once you have collected a sufficient amount of your own craftwork, you may want to decide to show it to people. It's simply a need for recognition that is common to all of us; in much the same way that we are naturally afraid of criticism. That is why many opt to show their loved ones only. They will deliver kind praise, and if they have criticisms, they will tend to tone them down to avoid hurting you're feelings.
Don't fall for that. In the end, the most rewarding thing about making and collecting crafts of a similar theme is that you get to see people you don't know to appreciate them. Don't be afraid of the criticisms; if anything, they will help you improve your craft. So, whenever you're ready, show off those crafts in one of the many craft shows! - 15790
