To have “childish” hobbies?

I like colouring and reading.
A lot of people (including me) sometimes don't realise how much time is spent scrolling on the phone. But if I start colouring / reading I feel like I have achieved or produced something in that 30 min/ 1h
I find colouring very calming if I feel anxious and I take a colouring book and pens to keep me occupied on flights when I go on holiday.

I'm 38 and really miss playing computer games. I wish they still updated the ones I like!

I do have a child a waaay prefer colouring in with her than the 'adult' things I do.

Crack on I say. Enjoy your time off to do the things you enjoy

Absolutely not. You can have whatever hobbies you want. I used to love playing the sims as an adult (just don’t have the time anymore) and I’m asking for some Calm Over Chaos colouring books and pens for my 39th birthday next month. I hope noone makes you feel ashamed because they would be very unreasonable to do so!

Sounds perfect! I am a middle aged Mum and I very much look forward to settling down every night all cosy, after the work has been done with my colouring books and acrylic pens! I start to colour with TV on in the background, nice drink to my side and literally feel my shoulders drop! Complete bliss for an hour or two!!
You go for it!

Have whatever hobbies you want! I love a bit of adult colouring and watching Disney films 🥰

Are you enjoying it?

Crack on

I work in a highly tech job with lots of thinking - and I read utter shite for fun!

Colouring books for adults are popular now and video games are definitely an adult hobby! I recently got into collecting Pokémon cards - it's a mix of scalpers trying to profit, little kids, and other 30-40 something people like me (some with their kids) 😂

I also run, lift weights, go hiking, cross-stitch, colour in and I take days off work for video game releases. Some people might say it's childish, but most of my friends are into all these things and we are all adults last I checked. Try to just enjoy what you enjoy, if someone thinks it's childish so what?

It s a lovely thing to have a hobby. Really important I think. Much better than mindless scrolling!
I recently bought myself a sticker book- because it was all about fashion history which I love! And I’m not their target age range at all :)

I have two questions that decide pretty much everything in my life.

Is it hurting anyone else?
Does it make me happy?

If the answers are no and yes respectively, it's all good.
