Let me start by saying outside is expensive. But come to think of it, outdoor activities are fun. Sometimes I do have this imagination of traveling around, exploring places, food, and culture in my head. It feels so real that sometimes I wish it could happen.
I have always been an indoor person; I don't feel bored being indoors. I actually achieve more indoors than outdoors. There is a lot to do, with no dull moments. Though right from when I was a child, my life has always been school, church, and home. Going to parks hardly comes or eating out, so I have fun in my own space.
I have lots to do indoors; my video editing course takes almost 6 hours from me, writing, reading, and cooking. Let me not forget music. I love singing; if I have my siblings around, it is like heaven on earth. The same vibe and energy in music, and we sing together. Like the melody is something I can't just explain. It's fun singing with them. My hobbies are so exciting and fascinating that I don't get bored. I actually love to try new things, try new recipes.
Most times when my gadgets are off and there's no light, I do the most weird things, like trying to style my hair or trying to learn how to tie a scarf or gele.
When I was younger, whenever I was bored, there was no light, and my batteries went down. The next option is to sleep, but as I lay down on the bed with my head facing the ceiling. My thoughts begin to explore why I don't try to tie that scarf I watched on the video or the makeup. The next minute my legs are already in motion to my mum’s room; I will take one of her gele and begin to practice. In front of the mirror, if I get tired of that, I try out makeup.
I mostly use her makeup and have to keep them back exactly how I saw them. If not, she might find out, and I will be in trouble. But it was actually fun then, especially when I showed my brother my makeup face. He would laugh so hard at me and even threatened to report me to my mother. I have to beg him.
My favorite part of being indoors is that I achieve all I need to achieve, and I don't feel bored because I always do things that uplift my spirit whenever I'm bored. I'm a movie person. Getting it down with my favorite show or a seasonal movie or horror.
Now, my life is mostly indoors. I have a lot going on in my tiny space that takes lots of my time, and I hardly feel bored, but outdoors is always once in a while when I need to shake off some stress and breathe in some fresh air.
My outdoor fantasy is having myself in a recreational center with a bottle of wine, chops, cakes, and food and sitting right there with my laptop and writing as much as I can with the freshness and the peace that comes from it. I usually imagine this more often, and secondly, I would love to do something scary. Like going to the park and having this carousel swing and screaming at the top of my voice. I will make time within this Christmas period to bring my imagination to life.
Lastly, I enjoy going to the spa to get some self-treatment. My holiday is already planned out. 80% will be within the walls of my room while 20% will be outside.
