Bubbletea Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Well uh, this issue is a bit more complex than just being too broke but here we go I guess.Β I've been thinking for a while about everything I want to do as a hobby for my future goals and also what I promised others I would do. These hobbies include: learning how to play the guitar and piano, dancing, singing and learning new languages such as Japanese and Thai.Β The thing is though, nobody in my family can teach me these things because they are either too old for it, and don't remember much, or they are too busy, therefore I need to find a tutor but before that I have also been thinking about if I can even afford it. My family isn't the richest and I am also not really old enough to get a part time job in my country yet and all I have is my pocket money. I really don't want to give up any of these hobbies since, as I have mentioned before they are either for futuristic purposes or I promised others I would do this as a hobby and I'm not the type of person to just ditch a promise, therefore I'm kinda stuck.Β Also, I would feel rather guilty if one of these hobbies doesn't fit me right, because then it'd be a waste of money that I don't have much of, back then I had some different hobbies and left them because they simply didn't sit right with me, even though I tried for months on end to maybe get used to them, it simply was not my cup of tea. My parents got quite mad because they were the ones to pay for the lessons so now, I'm trying to be careful but I don't really know what I'm doing and am having a crisis. pls help MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crisis is just the thing I was writing about and I just wrote that I had a crisis because my braincells couldn't really process this. I am completely fine, sorry for causing concern MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Monsoon Posted March 17, 2022 Solution Share Posted March 17, 2022 Hey there, No need to apologise, I just wanted to double check, and I'm glad to hear you're fine :) With the hobbies you want to take up,Β I'm wondering, could you try some of them out for free?

cloudzs Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 hiiii @Bubbletea i actually felt really similar to you, and none of my family wanted to help so id do everything myself. and i watched a youtube video that said you should explore as many things as possible. it's the best thing to do when we are young apparently!Β so you def doing the right things, and i actually agree with monsoon; it is worth finding all the free or cheaper) versions of learning before you ask your parents for proper lessons an stuff. i wanted to learn a language so i watched a few youtube videos, downloaded duolingo and then bought a cheap ebook off amazon. it helped me start the language and habit, was pretty fun. I didn';t stick with it in the end but at least it only cost me some time and very little money definitely reccomend you try that maybe?? 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
