Working and earning happily

If I am not mistaken, hobbies are not meant to make you money, because it is something you do in your free time to relieve stress or just something that makes you relaxed. It's something I do happily or something I do for fun and doing it as a profession means I will definitely love my job.

This makes me question who gave the meaning to the word hobby. But since it's not the topic for today's contest then I would like to proceed to the first contest of the week.

Well, I'm a person of many hobbies and that is because I get tired when I repeat doing a particular thing, maybe it's a piece of music I like or a movie I love, at one point I get tired and my tiredness goes as far been in a relationship with someone and this is one of the things I'm trying to really work on because I need to get married for my mom and be a good father to my kids, then my wife can also enjoy a good husband.

Despite my life like that, there is this one thing that sticks and I never get tired of doing, maybe because I haven't had the opportunity to do it so much as to get tired of it but this is the one hobby that has been my hobby for more than 15 years and this is ACTING.
I know people would say this shouldn't be a hobby, it is a career or a professional but I call it a hobby because, when I'm acting I'm doing it with ease, I'm relaxed and at that point, I forget about my pain, about my struggles in life or anything and I'm always happy doing it so when I feel this way, why can't I call it my hobby?

I can make money with it by doing a short comedy video called a skit and which is one of the fastest-selling stuff in this generation that turns people into millionaires. I have done some on tiktok but it didn't really get to where I wanted to because I couldn't promote it but I have earned from acting a long time ago when our current president was the governor of Lagos State. He came down to my community to commission a health centre but he later couldn't attend the ceremony but he sent a representative and we did a drama. The presentation was awesome and I got paid per scene. After that, I did a couple more and earned a few bucks.

I would say my hobby is something you can do for a very long time because there is no age limit to it maybe, probably not too much role to play but you can appear in a movie regardless of your age. I'm looking to turn this hobby into a real-time profession soon though because what other way to succeed in life than choosing a part you don't have to stress yourself while doing it?
I hope you enjoyed reading this. Peace and love always

Acting is really a hobby for some people, they started it like a joke before it turned out to become a profession.

I am glad that you are good at what you do and the rewards have been evident.
Thanks for sharing.

I love acting as well but am camera shy so I commend people who love to act.

I did acting in school back then but not much, I played vital roles that took me time to master but it was fun.

Seeing a career or job as an hobby is a major part of what makes such job very easy. It's great that you consider acting an hobby, which means it's second nature to you and it won't be hard to make money from it, provided you have the right connections coz in a country like Nigeria, that matters
