There are things you enjoy doing when you are less busy, things that you can do for a very long time without getting tired... What are those things?
Hobbies are like interests we engage in especially when we are less busy with other things. Being less busy is different from being tired and trying to unwind with some things, but hobbies, if you must agree with me, brings joy and peace within us because they are like something we are addicted to and want to keep doing as long as we are happy.
For every individual, there is more than one hobby inside of us and I don't think I have seen someone without one. No, it's impossible.
For me, I have many hobbies that I find myself doing with pleasure whenever I am less busy. Perhaps less busy from going on errands for my family, less busy from school's activities, less busy from cooking for the family, less busy from watering the flowers, etc.
SURFING
As long as there is battery on my phone at that moment, I pick up my phone or system to start surfing the internet. I could just have an idea of a question and type it online. I love watching news online, streaming YouTube, viewing pictures especially of nature and trying to learn one or two things.
DANCING TO MUSIC
I love music, especially the ones that inspire me. Even though there are times I don't feel like listening to music, there are days when I feel like dancing. I will tune into a good song from my phone and start dancing. I can dance in my room for a while with no one disturbing me. I don't know how to dance but I can do something to appreciate my maker alone. I have danced for more than an hour before and I still do it while I keep changing music to suit my mood at that moment and by the time I am done, I feel happy and find peace within.
WRITING/BLOGGING
Ever since I have discovered writing and blogging, I have found an amazing hobby for myself. I can lock myself just as I am doing now, and would start writing. I found a wonderful interest in writing, especially about my life, things around me and what is going on in the world. I love to blog and this is what I do without getting tired but happy.
INTERACTING
Find me among interesting discussions, you will meet me there. When I first packed into the house I rented as I gained admission then, I was so introverted that I would be indoors all day, until I was dragged outside, and every night, we would assemble ourselves outside and find interesting topics to debate on.
Sometimes, I might be inside when I am less busy and I overheard discussions outside, I will join them. I love to contribute my own part and we would talk for more than two hours enjoying ourselves before electricity is restored, then everyone goes inside. I also would interact online whenever I see groups talking. I love to interact for as long as the topic is an interesting one and would learn lessons from it.
PLAYING
I can play. I mean acting like a child and being around my family and friends. I love to play when I am in the mood and I can do this for long and be happy without getting tired but when it's time to rest, I do that because body isn't firewood 😅
COOKING
Inasmuch as I love to cook, I don't do it often because I am lazy but there are days when I am less busy, I would check for a meal on YouTube and decide to practice. From watching YouTube, I learnt how to make snacks like doughnuts, Chin Chin, Egg roll and Sausage roll. I learnt how to make curry stew and some other quick meals. This is what I do sometimes when I am not doing any other things.
I love to cook and I found joy in doing it but I am lazy some other times and would make me prepare a snappy meal I might end up not enjoying.
SINGING
My Aunt has always complained that I use every word to sing. I love to compose songs using words that were said at that moment. For example, when someone says "I want to eat, I am hungry". I will then form it into a song and start singing. This would make my Aunt angry at me because whatever she says, I will sing with it.
I have loved to sing from time to time but the problem is my voice. Most times, I envy those with sonorous and angelic voices but that doesn't stop me from singing at my comfort.
When I am less busy, I sing songs and then switch to composing mine which I would do for a long time until I needed to take some rest. I find joy in singing to the lord and it has been something I enjoy doing every time.
WATCHING MOVIES
Oh my! I can't ignore this hobby. I enjoy watching movies, especially new and latest ones. I can decide to waste my data watching movies on Netflix and YouTube. I enjoy it alone, especially horror movies. I don't know what horror and Indian movies have done to me 😅😅
I have many other hobbies but to avoid a long post, I would stop here.
