Description: A three panel comic often referred to as “No take, only throw.” The first panel is a dog biting a toy with the caption “I want to be good at my hobbies.” The second panel is the dog looking angry and refusing to let go of the toy when a hand reaches out to throw it for the dog again, and it has the caption “No practice.” The third panel is the dog, still angry and refusing to let go of the toy, with the caption “Only good.”
If you don’t enjoy doing your hobby unless you’re producing something of substance that can help you receive praise from others. Is it really a hobby you do for the sake of personal enjoyment and growth or just something you think society views as a worthwhile past time you’ve latched onto just to get validation?
