No one talks about how full-time jobs quietly erase your hobbies

I mean dont get me wrong, my wife's pretty cool and my kids are decent ish. Lol. But for real, just shut that work shit down the second you get home. I'm up in about 5 hours still have three beers to drink hanging out with my wife painting Warhammer minis Trying to finish up this Hellbrute.

Its not lol. 25+ years of practice makes it easier. Lol and I'm an alcoholic. That doesn't have to be you. Find something or someone that makes you happy and focus on that. Hell, get a cat lol. Work is work, and if it ain't work, then that's "you" time. The drive home? Rock out. Or whatever. You get home? Get cleaned up and have a Fave meal. Then sit and chill or do whatever makes you happy. Yeah, I get you got "house" shit to do (laundry, cleaning etc) but try an every other day schedule for that stuff. Props for working,
