Any weird hobbies that taught you something purposeful?

Did you know google maps has a subscription system like any other social media?

I’ve been active for the past four years or so because I like both learning something new and sharing it. I've given as many fair reviews as I could, and without even trying, I’ve gained over 300 followers and 4,000,000 views.

I can’t really use these for anything, but it’s funny how consistently giving people what they need is still a formula that works, even in today’s modern social landscape. I’m still learning how to apply the same approach to my actually important channels, but it’s amusing that my main reference for social media success is maps 

Do you have anything similar in mind?

Traveling and inner work are basically my hobbies and they surely taught me a lot. But i couldn’t even really tell you what.

Playing civilization 3 always teaches me something, wether about history or how the reptilian brain works or how leaders rule.

Lol, I like it

When I was a teen I got super into reading and writing creepypastas (horror stories). It was an obsession. I wrote a few creepypastas, and they were cringeworthy af lol. Even back then I knew they were bad.

But I believe that was the beginning of something interesting.

Years later, I discovered my Life Purpose. My purpose is to be a fiction author. Writing fiction brings me such a deep satisfaction, it has unlocked something special in my life. I gain such a strong sense of purpose, like I'm working for Art, for the sake of Art. Even if it doesn't bring me any practical benefits yet. It's so fulfilling.

I've written and (self) published 3 novels (a drama, a horror, and a crime thriller). I'm working on the 4th at the moment (dark fantasy).

Early SCP Foundation might be one of my favorite works of ficion. Is somewhat related to creppy pasta, but in my opinion had much more substance behind
