Well, I for one has never been the outdoor type. And when we talk about leisure time and the likes, most people often discuss the likes of going on road trips, planning some hangout, going to the beach, a picnic and all. But for me, it's rest, I just want to be indoor, lock in my room without noise, disturbance and just sleep. It might sound a little bit odd, but that's it for me, maybe it's because life has tried and stretched me in ways even I didn't expect. Maybe it's due to the various things I've survived, I've come to see and understand that peace is nowhere outside but inside.
It's not as if I don't go out at times too, but most of that which we call peace and all outside are most times gotten with money. So, when I have free time, I sleep. To me it's like paying back a debt, I owe myself some rest, so when I have time, I pay back that debt my sleeping. It does sounds simple and even like a luxury, but I've learned to gift it to myself.
And there's this other side of me too, when you don't find me resting, you will find me in my note app writing. Writing is one of the hobbies that doesn't drain me. That side of me likes to write. By writing, I get to understand myself more, collect my thoughts, and also pour out that part of me I don't know how to say out loud. Aside the various writing prompts I engage in, I write other stuffs too, a lot of it that hasn't been posted, some are just random, some are much more personal.
Talking about hobbies, I love to act, yea, I love to act a lot, I'm into some drama ministries and I can say, it has helped me. Acting was one of the things that helped me get over the fear of crowd. I found out that I could fit into a role so well and deliver in front of crowds, but when it comes to presentations and the likes in school, I stutter, get scared and wouldn't deliver so well. So, I adopted my acting skill and key it into my academics too. It helped.
Another thing I love to do is cook, yea, even as a guy, I enjoy cooking a lot. I follow chefs and caterers to work. And even when I'm home, I love to the my cookings myself. Cooking makes me feel alive in a different kind of way. I also watch movies as well, or play some music. Music goes with everything for me, when I write you see me playing music underneath, when I sleep you hear music playing quietly, when I cook, you find me playing music too.
The last leisure time I could say I had happened about a month ago, I just stayed indoor and slept like. I woke up that morning, brush my teeth, took my bath, cooked, wore some casual wear, ate and slept. I slept for so long and I was glad nothing disturbed me. When I woke up, I ate again then picked upy phone and began to write. That very day, I wrote about rest, how important it is, how it could help regain strength and make the head clear. I haven't posted that particular piece since then. Still in my archive.
Some would go to the beach, plan a picnic, go for parties and the likes, they are good, I'm just different in my own way. That particular leisure time of mine often help me find myself again.
All pictures are mine.
