Just because life is pointless, it doesn't mean you can't do things for a purpose.

Think questions like: "Why bother developing a skill if I'm not going to use it professionally?"

Well, learning this can just make you happy, and that's enough of a purpose if you want it to be. You don't have to make money out of it, it doesn't need to take you anywhere in your career, if you feel good doing something as hobby, why would that be bad?

"Ah, but there are people consider that procrastination"

Do you care what others think? How much to be in the way of you enjoying yourself?

Of course you need to make the decision if something is worth your time and is making you truly happy or just helping you escape reality.

Addictive things can give you short burst of happiness, but fill the rest of your life with misery. But anything can be an addiction. Just because it is to another person, it doesn't mean it is to you and vice-versa.
