I don’t know about you, but lately, I’ve been feeling completely drained. It was the same routine every day: work, commute, sleep. On weekends, I’d just lie around scrolling through short-form videos, feeling like life was being hollowed out, leaving nothing but boredom. I even complained to a friend that I felt like I was turning into a machine that only knew how to work.
This past weekend, I forced myself to put the phone down and just browse aimlessly online, hoping to find something, anything, interesting to do. Honestly, there's so much information overload now that finding something feels more exhausting than relaxing. Just as I was about to give up, I randomly clicked on a site called .
Its interface was pretty clean, so I browsed for a bit. To my surprise, I found an online "Introduction to Pottery" group. The quality of the posts was really high, explaining everything from how to choose clay to different shaping techniques. On a whim, I ordered some pottery clay online and spent the weekend at home following the tutorials to make a few small cups. They turned out lopsided and kind of ugly-cute, but the feeling of intense focus while molding the clay was incredibly de-stressing.
It was in that moment that I realized life shouldn't just be about work. The satisfaction of creating something, no matter how small, is something that no amount of mindless scrolling can give you. The site doesn't just have pottery; I also saw people forming groups for language exchange or keeping logs for their coding studies. It feels like a real hidden gem, so I’m sharing it for anyone else who feels like their life could use a little spark of something new.
