When you’re feeling kind of blue…take up a hobby!!
This is a topic of conversation that I have been meaning to address for quite a while now. Probably since I moved to New York. I have not attained any kind of hobby and I think it has begun to drive me crazy. When it gets down to the boyfriend saying something about it, you know it’s an issue. But what the heck to do?!?! That’s the question. I have been making the worst possible excuses for avoiding a hobby and it’s time to put my foot down. Here is a list that I have compiled so far of fun, time consuming hobbies that I look forward to delving into deeper within the next couple of weeks and hopefully longer:
- Hip hop dancing
- Learning a musical instrument
- Learning how to read music (probably helpful for the former)
- Write a short story
- Knitting
- Learn a language
These are what I have come up with so far. I plan on starting the hip hop dancing with a close friend of mine next week.
I can’t let work rule my life anymore. I have always been the kind of person to say that work will not shape who I am and that is not my life. Yet, each day seems to be a constant steady stream of work eat sleep repeat. Until I start this new trend of enjoying myself and my free time doing the things that I love, the person that I love and myself will suffer the consequences and life is just too short and I have a man too amazing to suffer those unfortunate and undeserving consequences. Therefore……..
Let the hobbies begin!!
