When we think about hobbies that border on obsessions, it’s easy to think of this as a pathological behavior. But that’s often not the case. Obsessions is often only a hairs breadth away from passion, and what might look like an over-the-top love for something from one angle might be considered a life-supporting and affirming hobby on the other.

If you have a similar passion (you’re likely thinking about it right now), it can be hard to both wish to share it and also keep it all to yourself at once, because those are the two directions you will likely wish to be pulled in.

Thankfully, there are more methods of sharing your love for something than ever before, and exercising in this hobby can not only help you take a natural breather away from practicing your intense passion, but it could help you get more out of it in a healthier, more in-depth manner.
