    I never understood why people make comments like “wow, you have too much time on your hands,” as if they themselves don’t spend significant time watching shows and movies or reading - or just sitting on their ass.

    “You spent time doing something quirky that you found rewarding or interesting? Well I wish I had some time off from my 24/7 job in the diamond mines!”

    Anyway, the caligraphy looks great!

      These are the people who spend hours a day scrolling through Facebook on their iPads looking for anything to be outraged at.

      They’re just enforcing stupid societal norms. People who do this are literally holding society back. And possibly envious.

      I got things like “Why don’t you do something useful with your time for a change?” From my mom and friends because I was always on the computer teaching myself html at age 13, and finally uploading my very own website online over ftp dialup 28.8kbps. The year was 1996.

      Finally I listened to them and stopped wasting my time. If I had kept digging I could have been a coder today instead of a laborer.
