SIDE PROJECTS AND HOBBIES ARE IMPORTANT.

(live a little, man)

In the book Steal like an artist, the author Austin Kleon also teaches us that Side projects and hobbies should not be disregarded in our daily lives. It is important to constantly keep in touch with the playfulness inside of us. It is what keeps us sane. Give yourself something to do on your spare time, try to keep busy as much as possible with the things you love most. Try everything out to make sure that when you say you don’t like something, you know exactly how you mean. Who knows? Maybe you may get some profit in it. After all, what is more pleasing than making a living out of what you love? If it makes you happy then do it. Incorporate this into your life somehow.

So let’s go seize the day people! Let’s be young again! Let us live! Do the things we love while doing the things we hate. Think about it... when was the last time you played or did anything spontaneous? Yah! I’ll wait.

Anyway... here is a little project I gave myself and I actually found out I could have what it takes to be a model. Well... I don’t know. You decide.





















And all i did was call a friend.
