It occured to me today that I do not have ahobby, or really anything that I enjoy or do often that could even classify as a hobby. I write, and I guess that would count as a hobby. But I don't classify listening to music as one, since I share this interest with a large majority of the population. I could say reading, but I haven't read an entire book in months, and even then it wasn't as enjoyable as it used to be. I feel a little lost, could my hobby be finding hobbies? People told me to knit, I bought yarn and lost it. Maybe my hobby can be losing things, that happens a lot.
Does collecting things count as a hobby? In that case I do collect so many things. When I go on trips I collect the bags, tags, reciepts and stubs from everywhere I've been including brochures and tickets. I collect cd's and DVD's, although it does seem to be more for entertainment purposes. I collect quarters with cool things on them, and plastic water bottles with interesting labels (saving the world obviously). I collect notebooks, mainly empty ones. MacDonalds toys, hand cream, mugs, Disney movies,rubber ducks... The list could probably go no, oh Broadway musicals! See, its like a fetish. I have a collecting problem.
The worst part about my hobby I guess is that I collect things that are relatively useless. Maybe the music and movies are enjoyable, but the rest are just plain decorative junk. I need a hobby that is real. A hobby that I can really delve into, and be passionate about, like fishing. Well, maybe not fishing, maybe something a little more tame like painting. I've always loved painting, maybe I'll make that next year's resolution.
Regardless of my boring hobbies, I still find myself living out my days in a somewhat exciting way, and I hope whatever hobbies you enjoy also fill your days with albeit decorative, but enjoyable memories.
Take care,
Jess :]
