    That aside, in support of you, I can’t see how building with Legos for part of the evening is any ‘worse’ - less mature, sophisticated, or what have you - than watching some sitcom or YouTube slop. Certainly not sad in either sense of the word. You are actively feeding your creativity and maybe processing out life stuff (play therapy is a thing, even for adults). How cool is that?
