Is it better to pursue your passion or to let it remain a hobby? I’ve been following the former path again and again ever since I decided on my college major, but I still don’t know the right answer to this question.

The only thing I do know is that pursuing your passion is as draining as it is fulfilling. Therefore, it’s crucial to still have a hobby — something you do for the pure joy of it. The more removed it is from your passion, the better.

For me, that’s ice skating.
