Ask HN: Why So Irrational

I am an software engineer in a well known company. In free time I started working on my own IOS applications. Now I have 3 applications in AppStore.

Compared to my salary I get very less income from AppStore. But still I like working on my own Applications and spend a lot of time on them. Half of my brain goes into thinking about these small Apps. I know these apps wont give me comparable income to my salary.

So why I am paranoid about them? I am sure many of HN readers would be having the same story.

This is my interest? or a false hope? Or I don't like my work at my Job?

It would be interesting to know some psychology topics around it.
