This is the one I love the most.
“The ultimate dream in life is to be able to do what you love and learn something from it.” - Jennifer Love Hewitt.
It was not until maybe one or two years ago, that I had this mindset of going to school/university, getting a good job and then only time would tell what would be next. However, I saw that quote, or rather I found that quote since I changed my mindset. I started actually doing the things I loved or trying out things that made me curious (not drugs guys ). I started going out more frequently, watching anime without caring about what others might think, went skiing for the first time…
Now I started university, but nonetheless I started playing the piano and studying Japanese. While I don’t expect anything from such hobbies, the only fact that I love them makes me happy enough, even if I suck at them. And, of course, learning some actual Japanese and hearing your first melodies is one of the most fulfilling feelings you may experience.
