I mostly make chocolate based candies, but I dabble in other candies from time to time like caramels, candied nuts, candied fruits/ginger/etc. I like to make candies around Christmas time to give to family and friends as they make really nice gifts.

It's really all going to depend on your tastes and lifestyle. Like I could recommend that you get a dog and start learning how to train dogs as a hobby, but that's just not going to work for everyone. What's important is that you explore things and maybe even try some hobbies that could potentially improve your well-being. Maybe you live somewhere near a good hiking spot and you could take up hiking to get outdoors and get more exercise. Maybe you could learn how to cook and explore how to make healthy meals that suit you better. Or maybe you just want to create something and you could take up woodworking or make model planes or something. The possibilities are endless, you just need to decide what you'd like to get out of it.

Personally, I spend most of my time for work indoors on a computer, so most of my hobbies involve using my hands and getting outdoors. I took up a lot of extra hobbies during covid for obvious reasons. So here goes my list of >!hobbies that will maybe give you some ideas:

  • Cooking/baking/bread
  • Candy making
  • Jam making
  • Gardening
  • Canning (goes great with gardening!)
  • Succulents
  • Mixology
  • Dog training
  • Camping/hiking (this one is minimal only because I don't live somewhere with good hiking spots)
  • Board games, video games, and movies during the winter when I can't go outside

Other things I've considered taking up but haven't for various reasons:

  • 3D printing
  • Bonsais
  • Home brewing

I had known for a long time that I wanted to do something creative. Throughout highschool I was lucky enough to be able to take various classes that would allow me to try out different things. I ruled out music and was struggling to decide if I wanted to be an illustrator of some kind or an interior designer or maybe an architect? But then I took a class called "computer graphics" which was a stupid name for the class. It was actually a class about graphic design and it seemed to fit into everything I do well just perfectly. Looking back it was way more obvious that I should be a graphic designer as I used to do things for fun like doodle out magazine layouts and make weird computer art for icons and things back when that was how the Internet worked. Like what kind of kid does that for fun? A future graphic designer apparently.

"in seconds." Ah yes, clearly the best point made for this product.

Last year I went blueberry picking the day before I had to leave for vacation. So I took a quart-size bag of blueberries on the plane with me and ate those the whole way there. 10/10 best plane snack I've ever had!

I work for one of the largest health care companies in the US and I can attest that they are genuinely concerned with what Amazon is doing right now.

This is the last one for a very long time. But the next 20 years it looks like Australia is going to be doing all the hogging.

I agree. I've never been in management but I also have absolutely no desire to be a manager. Any place you work, they emphasize opportunities to move up in the company and they like to talk about a career path for you. Well what if I'd rather just develop more skills in the field I have and become even better at it for reasonable pay? But unfortunately it's bad to say you don't want to move up in a company. I'm not sure why though, maybe it says I'm lazy or stagnant or something? I would just rather focus my development on what I'm good at and become even better at that thing. But fuck me, right?
