Everyone has one or two things that helps calm their mind and body, serves as a getaway from life's hustles and bustles and equally puts a smile on their faces. Or so I thought.
Not until few weeks back when someone I know told me he doesn't have a hobby. Nothing really excites him so he spends his days scrolling through tiktok videos from hour to hour.
To say I was surprised would be an understatement. If not for anything, there are general and popular hobbies which everyone tends to have a likeness for. Talk about music, movies, travelling and the like but no, they don't captivate him. Maybe he's just yet to discover his niche.
I on the other hand, have a good number of activities I love and never cease to indulge in during my leisure times.
Books and I go a long way back, to the time I learnt my alphabets, lol. I've always loved reading more than I love writing be it physical or ebooks.
Reading has an effective way of capturing my attention to the creativity of an author presented through words, as I flip through pages or scroll down. With a book to read, I get lost in the world of words where nothing else literally matters.
Another hobby of mine will be watching movies on my phone, gone are the days I grab a TV remote control searching for movie channels to engage myself.
With YouTube for nollywood and Movie box for every other country that I enjoy their movies, I'm good and gooding. From films to series, it has always been a good way to pass time.
My list of hobbies can't end without honouring music. Listening to music will always be a habit and hobby of mine I won't dare to leave to the backseat.
Music speaks to my soul in ways I never thought was possible. It equally inspires me, uplifts my mood and sometimes gets me on both feet, spinning and swaying to the beat of the music. No favourite artist, music genre or album but music and I will never be torn apart.
I also love chatting with close ones, taking an evening stroll round the neighborhood and cooking. Like I said earlier, I have alot of activities that give me an instant happy boost.
