My Hobbies - A Time Of Peace
How do I spend my leisure time? Coupled with the kind of work I get to do, my leisure times make me so happy and it's something I don't joke with especially due to the breakdown I'd suffered one time when I thought taking time to rest meant that I wasn't being productive enough.
I was a firm believer in all work and no play makes Tess a very smart girl till I collapsed one day and had to reevaluate my choices. Since then, I still work hard when I have to but I try to do the things I like as a way of relaxing and rebooting for the work ahead.
The first is reading books. I know what you're thinking, "you just said you want to rest yet you're still working your brain." But, in the case of books, particularly novels, I find them more relaxing than anything.
Reading a fun book, filled with puns and sarcasm and all forms of smart-ass remarks that make me roll on the ground in laughter and also add some statements to my list of favourite comebacks is one way I love to spend my leisure time. Maybe it's because I'm an avid fan of stimulating conversation or I just like to laugh. But it's just my way of rewinding.
The next one is music. Yes, that's what everyone says. But it's true. Mind you, I can't say I want to relax and listen to heavy metal, no offence to fans of heavy metal. Many of you already know I'm a fan of R&B because I've said it a million times.
My way of relaxing with music is by listening to that genre of music, smooth jazz or K-drama OSTs. (Original Sound Track) There are a lot of emotions packed into Kdrama OSTs so one of my favourite things to do is to lie down in my room or outside(when the mosquitoes are not yet out to play), feeling the breeze on my neck and then just soak up all that earthy aura till I'm relaxed.
Another way I spend my leisure time is by talking to my friends. I enjoy it a lot cause I get to laugh and catch up with the latest news in their lives. After all, time doesn't permit me to be in on the things they do all the time so the catch-up process is quite lengthy. I have very smart, witty people in my social circle so I always look forward to taking the stress out of my life by gisting with them. This takes energy but I end up strangely relaxed afterwards.
And last but not least, I like sleeping. Maybe, it's a bit of an understatement because I cherish sleep. I don't know if to categorize myself as a deep or light sleeper because I sleep deeply and dream a lot too but as soon as someone lightly taps me or calls me, I'm up. So, I don't know what that deep-light category is called. However, it leaves me refreshed and happier too and not to mention I'm completely energized for whatever task I need to do.

I have many hobbies and passions. I will say that sometimes it's very hard to focus on sth when you want many things and when you like many activities to do. But on the other hand it's very cool when you will never stay bored.
Some of my hobbies are singing karaoke mostly English and German songs, painting anything, nowadays passionate about painting messy arts as you see in my pic, I like also capturing different sceneries in my city....list cant end haha
That's interesting and quite beautiful too. Singing karaoke is a wonderful hobby. Are you of German nationality or you just love their songs?
By the way, I love messy art and your artwork is really beautiful.🌺

Sleep is bae Sha😭😭😭
I've somewhat lost my love for reading 😓
Sad 😭😭
Should I help you rekindle it?
You're a lighter?
No, I'm a blowtorch.
Blow all you want😂😂😂
If the reading you do relaxes you I do not see the problem, sometimes changing from an activity that stresses us to one that pleases us, everything looks different, I support you in talking with friends, they always help us to see sometimes details and things that perhaps we had not taken into consideration before also in terms of music and sleep, it is something that completely changes the picture, excellent activities.
