What is it that you do in your free time? What is it that you do on weekends? You know the answer. You know what your free time looks like and what you end up doing each weekend. Whatever it is that you do is what you are. You are what you do regularly every weekend.
I write. I travel. Every weekend I try to have a post out. And it gets shifted to a Monday or Tuesday as I end up on a trek or some other travel. More often than not my Monday posts are about these little travel adventures that I keep having.
But, this weekend routine wasn’t always a reality. I didn’t know that writing and travelling will actually become my two hobbies. It took a really bad first job, a great professor from college and a dear cousin brother for me to realize these two hobbies.
Years now since I realized that writing and travelling are both part of me, I haven’t let either of them go. It isn’t a bit easy. There are weeks I do write and post and but not share as I feel what I wrote is shit. There are other weeks where I don’t end up travelling, thus not having a adventure story to write and the sorrow of which pulls me from writing something good. There is much more weekend overthinking variations that happen which makes it to keep up to this hobbies but I don’t give up.
Each time I am down, I remind myself of the journey that has got me till here. The people who have made me realize these things in me. The people who have text, called and wrote to me saying how they love my words and have learned something. How my travel adventures are also something they look forward to through my words.
Each and every person who has been part of this journey pulls me out of any weekend misery that stops me from writing. I can never thank such motivating souls enough. Thank You for existing.
The struggle of penning down every week and to travel every other week is real. It can’t get worse looking at my work-holic nature. I need these hobbies to cut myself from work. If I extremely into my work, I am sure to end up in a mental hospital. My weekend hobbies keep me sane, keep me sailing through my week’s work.
What is it that you do in your free time? What is it that you do on your weekends? If you skipped the asnwer to this at the beginning, please answer your self now. What is it? What is that makes you, you?
Do you like your answer? If not, it is okay. Try newer things, find what you like doing. Use the internet for the better and perhaps learn something new that you really enjoy. Do it regularly every weekend and see yourself grow. Trust me, you’ll love the journey.
If you like your answer and your weekend time or your free time is filled with stuff you like doing, brilliant! Keep going, growing. You are made to shine even brighter and you are definitely much more than what you earn through the week.
If you are fed up of trying things, finding a hobby and now Netflix is your bae and that’s all you do, I think that’s wrong. Watching things on internet can happen in the background, but building something more concrete for yourself is essential. It is the need of your mind to relax, you deserve the me time apart from just scrolling the internet.
Do yourself a favor and find yourself a hobby. It is the best way to stay sane in a world full of responsibilities, and other madness. Use the internet for your benefit and learn newer things. Let’s together be a generation that becomes much more than what we earn through the week.
I don’t say it would be easy. It will be difficult. Even I love my weekend sleep. Instead I completely fell sick living my week life and my weekend travel. My body gave up on me. It couldn’t work or relax through travel or write anymore. It needed actually to relax. But, I didn’t regret getting sick a bit. It only felt that I am capable of doing much more.
