Well, yeah, definitely. I think it is essential for people to have their own hobbies and interests. Having hobbies helps them let their hair down after a long day and may enhance their creativity, which shows in their work, careers, and daily lives. In addition to this, it also helps us make more friends, and it is easier to make someone your acquaintance by sharing the same interests because it is easy to talk to them and get them to open up. So, I think people should have at least one or two hobbies.
