tokillahumblebee:

I can’t stand when “they have too much free time” is a response to somebody’s (usually brilliant) creative work or to the thoroughness with which a person partakes in their favorite hobbies. This whole I-have-better-things-to-do superiority complex is used to undervalue the meticulous nature by which an artist is an artist. And really, what are you doing in your free time that is of any value? Or is it that your day is so full of trivialities, you have no space to make anything that could be perceived as astounding? Or further, you no longer know how to appreciate a product that took more than five minutes to manifest. In a world where people are begging for longer days, that statement seems to come out of envy more than anything else.
