Hobbies are an important part of our lives that play an intriguing role in helping us unwind, explore new interests, and overall connect ourselves with activities we enjoy doing and usually serve as an avenue to escape the pressures of daily responsibility. The importance of hobbies can't be overstated, and I for one can say this because of how they've impacted me in providing a sense of joy, fulfillment, satisfaction, and personal growth, amongst many others. People's hobbies vary based on their interests, from those related to physical fitness to creativity and many more, and in this article today, I'll be telling you about my hobbies and how they impacted me.
While growing up, one of the very first hobbies I had was reading, especially novels and storybooks. I found it enticing and captivating, and for that reason, I read at almost every given opportunity to the point where I got so engrossed in it. In fact, at a point, due to how much I loved reading and the number of times I spent reading, my parents used to think I'd chase a career in an art-related course; however, I later didn't, and I remember how they kept asking if I was sure of my decision to go to science ahead of art.
Another hobby I've had for years is that of playing games. I've just been intrigued by the countless numbers of games we've got, both on mobile phones and video games, and seeing how fun and entertaining they were. I usually found a way to play them, from taking my grandmother's phone and finding a place to hide so I could play without being disturbed or discovered, and as I grew up and got my own phone, I downloaded different games on it all to play, even visiting game centers to play PlayStation games such as football, Grand Theft Auto, and Need for Speed, amongst many others.
Traveling is also another hobby I've come to love and enjoy. The idea of exploring new places, seeing people and tribes, and learning everything I can about them, while also trying new things such as their food and clothes, is one of the major reasons why I love traveling, and since having this hobby, it has played a huge role in enhancing my knowledge about different places and the ethnic groups that reside there, not forgetting several other knowledge that would be acquired via such a trip.
In recent years, one of my notable hobbies has been writing, and Hive blockchain has helped me keep this hobby alive and active, given the fact that it serves as an avenue to get rewarded for something I love and enjoy doing, so I've seen it as a way of expressing my thoughts, sharing my experience, and connecting with friends I've made in this space, which has now made successful writing and publication a channel that makes me feel accomplished.
Each and every hobby I've got and indulge in plays a huge role in not only entertaining me but also making me feel satisfied and accomplished. From reading to blogging, gaming, and traveling, there are several other hobbies I've got, and there are some that have faded away due to shifts in priority and time constraints, but overall I enjoy all my hobbies, and that's about it for today.

It was the same with me for a long time; I had been jumping between various activities.
I guess its part of human nature. I mean, I like writing, but then I switch to drawing or watching movies and studying something. If you were to ask whats my hobby. I would simply stand and stare blank. 😅
