“To be really happy and really safe, one ought to have at least two or three hobbies.”- C. S. Lewis
Life is interesting. While some find it easy, others find it difficult. They work multiple jobs to be able to put food on their table, satisfy their needs and wants. They work so hard that they barely have time for themselves. One thing I have learnt about life is that no matter how busy you are, no matter how stressful and difficult life is for you, try as much as you can to enjoy your leisure time. Now, the question is: how do you enjoy your leisure time? What are the things you do to relax? Of course, these things take your mind off the troubles of work and life in general, at least for the period while you do them. This brings me to today’s Sci-Fi prompt: Leisure activities and hobbies.
The community invites us to share our hobbies? What are the things you do during your free time? As humans, we all have different hobbies. Even siblings who grew up with the same parents in the same household will turn out to have different hobbies. That is just how life is. What works for person A might not work for person B.
After a stressful week or day, one of the things I do is to watch Anime. After a stressful day, nothing beats eating a hot meal while watching anime. That combination is fire. Not only does it ease your mind, but it also makes you feel on top of the world, at least for the time. I remember when I started watching anime. It was during my childhood when we still use those small televisions and DVD players. My cousins would but anime discs and we would watch them till we got tired. Most days, my parents would forcefully send us to bed.
Reading books is one hobby that has always been a part of me for as long as I can remember. Those who are close to me know that one thing I don’t joke with is books. Interestingly, books don’t work as stress relievers for me. They work as boredom killers. Meaning, when I am stressed and tired after a long day at work, the last thing I would want to do is pick up a book. In this situation, watching anime is the best option.
So, there you have it! Those are my top two hobbies. On days when I feel weak and stressed, they come in handy.
