What is the skill/talent you have that you get praised for but you fiercely keep as an hobby/interest with no plans to expand on it? (sopuli.xyz)

My music, songwriting. I've never once had the desire to make money from it. In fact, one of the things that killed my band is I discovered the bass player was charging a cover for what I had assumed were free shows and then keeping it.

Same here. I love having fun making music. Being in a band trying to make money was miserable. I do miss having access to a dedicated practice space and recording studio though.

I miss performing a lot, and I'll probably never really do it again like I did back then
