is listening a hobby?

i've always wanted a hobby or something that i was good at like creating. I have to many ideas in my head but none of them stick out and i haven't naturally been drawn to any of them. so often i hear that people grew up drawing/sewing/writing etc as their way to relax, their escape, something they felt compelled to do.

i actually do have some natural ability to draw/paint but i have the same problem i do with anything - i can't decided on what to draw! its so frustrating to sit there and not be able to just doodle because i can't let go of thinking about what it is i should draw.

the only thing i can think of that i feel passionate about is listening to books on tape. i'm not sure what it is exactly that i love about audiobooks but i can't get enough and lucky for me the local libraries are full of them.

i definitely love being able to do something else (driving/cleaning/running) while listening. listening and picturing the story keeps my attention better than anything else. and it offers me the ultimate reward - an escape from my thoughts.
