have we forgotten how to have fun?

on this episode of live a little, nikki lilly is asking herself a surprisingly difficult question: why is it so hard to have fun nowadays? nikki has plenty of interests, but somewhere along the way, makeup, fashion and baking all became part of her job. and when the things you love become things you have to do, where does the joy go? she opens up about realising she doesn’t really have any hobbies that exist purely for her - with no productivity, content, career or end goal attached. after a friend casually mentioned going home to read a book, nikki realised she wanted something like that in her own life. So she and her friends created a list of "humbling hobbies" - things they fully expect to be terrible at, from origami to making croissants and taking a sushi class. no pressure to be good, no need to turn it into content. Just doing something because it feels good. but this conversation goes beyond hobbies. nikki explores why we’ve become so obsessed with making every moment productive, how growing up online can make privacy feel strange, and the difference between self-expression and self-promotion. maybe not everything needs to be shared, monetised or turned into something impressive. Maybe some things can just belong to you. if you’ve ever turned your passions into productivity, forgotten how to do things just for fun, or felt like you need something to show for your time, this one’s for you. don't forget to subscribe and don't miss new episodes every thursday!
