I have always struggled to answer the question "What are your hobbies?" My response would be a blank face as I try to mumble through the answer.
Ofcourse I know what I do in my leisure time but it is having that crystal clear definition to say my hobbies.......
Only recently through the insistence of a friend l was forced to seriously define this enigma.I decided to avoid using google (despite the overwhelming temptation) because the problem was not my understanding of it but my personal interpretation and its application in my life.
In my search for an answer I decided to disect how l spend my free time. I spend most of my weekends with my husband Njabu and my son watching movies, visiting friends, going on playdates and I usually cap my Sunday preparing something special for our family meals be it brunch (Waking up at 10am doesn't really allow one to say they have breakfast in the strictest terms) or supper.
That's when I got my 💡 moment. What l do on weekends makes me happy. I am defined by what makes me happy. What makes happy are my hobbies.
Wala! I really enjoy creating stuff. I create toys and games when I play with my son, I create different meals and I entertain my friends and family with stories, so I create content. So I do have hobbies and they are cooking, blogging (l love talking and stories), parenting and craft making.
Im relieved! I know who I am. I know what my hobbies are. Now you will see more of me pursing what l love.
