Making new Hobby

Recently I was having a conversation with my youngest uncle about hobbies/interest. I was arguing that hobbies cannot be created, its either you like it or not. For example, if you don't like cooking, there is no way you can make cooking to be your hobby. However, my uncle disagreed with me. He said that hobbies can be created, you might not like it right now but you will later on. He believes as long as there is someone that you can talk to and arouse your interest in the subject, you have created new hobby for yourself. Using my cooking example, he said that if there is someone who likes and good at cooking, and if you befriend that person, sooner or later cooking can be your hobby too.
After thinking about it, I saw some truth in it. Therefore, I say it right now, never said impossible, because the word impossible is simply "I'm Possible." Go out and make new hobbies!!!

The Story of My World

Born in a privileged family, I have traveled far and beyond. Pursuing education in three different countries, with a maybe fourth lurking around the corner. Always pushed to the limit and sometimes even further make me a stronger. Obediently following every words and wishes of those I hold dear in my life, I have always thought that it is what best for me. But now, I realized that I have become a puppet, and I allow it to happen. It took me a trip to the other half of the world to realize this. Always following every wishes and every suggestions have made me lose my own dreams and passions. Going to the USA, pursuing a career in hospitality and the culinary arts, do I really want to this all or did I do it to please the people I love? I can't even tell it apart anymore. I have worked hard to please them all, in exchange for a shady promise of freedom, but all I get is heartache. No more of this. I am breaking free. For once I want to do what my heart told me, and I want to chase my own dreams not someone else's.
