No doubt, today’s world is moving very fast. Most people are always busy trying to build a life of themselves. It often feels like time is spending by. Despite the fast pace of the society, we all still find ourselves some free time. For some, it might be a lot; for others, barely any, but we all have those moments when we’re free from our duties.
I see free time as an opportunity to do something you enjoy. Everyone has their own way of spending it. Personally, I love watching something while snacking—if snacks are available, ha! I enjoy all kinds of video content, especially movies, anime, and also YouTube videos, reels or any kind of video. I also love reading books, particularly fiction.
I absolutely love diving into the world of fiction, whether through books, movies or anime. There is something amazing about getting invested in stories, fantasy, supernatural tales, psychological thriller and more. It’s about exploring different worlds and experiencing the emotions of different characters.
I have always wished to be a psychologist or therapist, because I love understanding people, their thinking, and their behaviours. Watching or reading novels, allow me to see different perspectives. I often find myself questioning: Is the villain really a villain? What actually drives the character to act a certain thing? If I were in their shoes what would I do?
Aside from this, I generally enjoy watching movies, anime or reading books for the sheer fun of it. It is just fascinating to see or imagine worlds different from the one I see everyday. I learn about different cultures and lifestyles. Through movies and books, I travel the world.
If I am not indulging in these activities, I enjoy watching video content about anything at all. I consider myself more of a visual learner— I rarely read nonfiction books because I get bored easily. If I need to learn something, I prefer videos or physical demonstrations. They help me understand and remember better than a well detailed books.
These are the main ways I spend my free time, and I think many people enjoy similar activities. Although some might not enjoy watching movies. It is s great way to relax. The only downside for me is that it can be s distraction when it is not my free time.
Just a plus, If I am not doing any of these, I am either in my thoughts or just reflecting on my life and everything in between.
