I hate it when I'm in a conversation where I tell someone about my hobby (drawing), and it's like clockwork when someone mentions "have you thought about selling it?" Like sure, yeah, but I'm happy just doing it and talking about what I like about it.

I know they mean well, but people mostly don't know how to have a conversation without inserting capitalism into it.

the hustle is real – lemme just take something I love and turn it into a chore that I grow to resent ’cause I gotta keep doing it to make enough extra money to survive
