    Have you thought about digital media, either making music, pictures, or videos? You can get free software to start out so it has no cost in time or money. It also allows you pretty much infinite progression because you’ll be getting better every time.

        Here’s a song I made for a sample challenge with a group of friends. Music production has been one of the few hobbies I’ve maintained for forever. I started mucking around with Fruityloops when I was 13, I’m now 37. And while what I make isn’t for everyone, it doesn’t need to be. It helps me when I’m going through tough times, when I’m depressed or bored. Just making music keeps me going, even if other people think it’s a bit shit.

        There’s loads of DAWs(Digital Audio Workstations) available for free, as a demo or a limited version without all the bells and whistles.

        Making a movie can be hard, but remember that you don’t need to be good at it right away, and you’ll get there if you work on it. And start small. You can stream playing games for a while, and then figure out a more complicated setup as you go. Same with YouTube, you can start with simple videos and minimal editing, and add more stuff going forward. Does that make sense?

        When I said digital media, I meant making songs, movies, or pictures. I suggested that because you don’t need to go buy a lot of equipment and materials.
