Flying as a hobby is very expensive and time consuming.
Most professional pilots and air traffic controllers are just about right in their opinion of many GA pilots.
EASA is probably going to spoil a lot of things that didn't need spoiling.
Lots of PPLs don't keep flying in the long term.
I misunderstand a great deal and am often inept.
The weather will often defeat you, controlled airspace will sometimes confound you.
Just like kids, it's still worth it. Anything with the capacity to make you feel so alive and see the beauty in the world (kids or flying) is worth the pain.
Merry Christmas.
