Well I have many activities that I would consider my hobbies but nothing I would take seriously. Then there are things that I would like to consider my hobbies but I do not have either the time or the money to do them. I love the arts and particularly lean towards auditory art – music. Ever since I can remember, I’ve only been able to connect to people through my music – whether it be making friends at a new school or making an awkward family dinner not-so-awkward. I do not just like listening to music though. I’ve dabbled in pretty much every aspect of it – writing it, critiquing it, listening to it, composing it, just not recording/selling it. I began by writing poetry in my tween years, often using “cataclysmic events” or “mind-blowing” discoveries at that time. Looking back at my “poetry”, I am amused by my quite-apparent immaturity. Yet at the same time, I am aware of my own growth as a person. That is what I love most about the arts – you begin to discover yourself the longer you are immersed in it. I would like to try my hand at photography – it’s quite an interesting science. I tried drawing and painting but I was never satisfied with my results, not that I am always happy with my poems or lyrics now. Overall, the satisfaction I gain from writing lyrics are generally greater than my poor attempt at abstract art or portraits. So I guess those are my current hobbies but I hope to expand beyond the realm of art/music.
