Hobbies, Living, What

By Louise BarracoPublished about 23 hours ago 6 min read

When we look at our lives and the way we live them what is the first thing that comes to mind? Is it the hobbies that we enjoy doing in our lives, or is it just how we live and show the world how our hobbies and life can work together? How is it that a person can live the way they do and have hobbies to make their life what it is for them? Is it just the things that they do in there lives to make it what it is, or is it the hobbies themselves and what they do to a person’s life when they do said things? I think it is how a person actually looks at their life, with all the things that a person has in their life, that makes it what it is with their hobbies. What that means is, people live the way they do because of their likes and dislikes. We wouldn’t all be different if we didn’t have those. If we didn’t have hobbies we wouldn’t really have lives, have you ever thought of that. Even when we work at a job hobbies come before that, because we always need ways to relax after a long day. We go to school, but after school we need something to calm our nerves and to give us a break, so what do we do? Well we do have a hobby of course. The question is how long have hobbies been around in our lives?

Hobbies are something that have been around since the beginning of time. These are the things that define our interests as people, which is why they have been around for so long. Do hobbies make life what it is? In some ways yes they do because they define our interests and give us variety. Even the things we do for our jobs come from hobbies in some way, because we go after what we are interested in when we go to college and then out into the workforce. Yes our hobbies can change as we get older from fun things to work things but they are still things that we enjoy doing. Getting outside and getting active, swinging on swings, or swimming or jumping on trampolines can be hobbies too. Which is great because we get to be active that way. So what is it that hobbies and living do? Well they give our lives variety and they also give us something to look forward to when the work day is done.

As we look at our lives, what is it that makes them what they are? Life the way it is doesn’t just happen, we have to do things to make it that way, so what is it that we do to make them what they are? The best way to do this is to find out what we like and what we don’t through doing hobbies. Reading, playing board games, watching television, getting outside and getting active, writing blog posts, making friendship bracelets, or knitting, These are just a few of the things that can make our lives what they are by doing what we do in them. Hobbies are the things in our lives that give them variety so that we aren’t doing the same thing over and over again. So we always have a number of different hobbies milling around in our heads to switch them up at any given time. For example, collecting things, or doing some sort of yard work can be a hobby. Or re-organizing things can be a hobby too. Hobbies are things that we enjoy doing that we don’t really need to think about. They are sort of like a reflex that we do on autopilot to help us relax. Or at least that is how I look at it.

When you are looking at your life and the hobbies that are in it how do you think you make life what it is? Is it by the things you do or the things you see, or what the world has to offer wherever it is that you are going? Or is it just the way you are looking at things and what you get out of them? Hobbies bring joy to life and a way to relax. Sure you are doing something when you are doing hobbies but your mind is clear and only thinking about that hobby at the given time you are doing it. Making friendship bracelets, or exercising can be a way of clearing your mind, even listening to music or watching television can do that too. These are just a few hobbies that can give our lives variety in the way of giving your life something new and opening our eyes to new possibilities for the future.

So as we clear our minds doing the hobbies we enjoy we are living and that in turn makes life what? It makes it something fun and exciting because we get to figure out what we enjoy to do to clear our minds, and see what works and what doesn’t. For some people going out with friends is what works for them and for others going out alone and just being with themselves works, go to a movie or even just watch something at home. Find a hobby that works for you, so that it gives you what you want. The more you do this the more living you will be doing through your hobbies and in turn that makes life something you look forward to living.

Life is different for each person because their hobbies are different from others because our likes and dislikes are different. With all of this, it means that our lives are different no matter if we live in the same house as another person or not. We don’t all like the same things if we did life and the world would be pretty boring. Don’t you think? I would think so, which is why it is good that hobbies and living are different for each person.

Life is always changing and the way we live is always changing because of it. Our friends, our jobs change, and what we like changes, as the years go on. So that means that our hobbies change, for example, we might like playing with plato when we are kids but as we get into the teenage years we might like riding bikes more or hanging out with friends, or even playing video games. Even as we get older too we might like doing workouts or reading, or making friendship bracelets. Older still we might like cleaning things out of our house and going through them. These are just examples, however, it can be different for each and every person. In the end though life and doing the hobbies in it is living life and that is what makes our lives what they are.

As we do the hobbies that we enjoy, what are we doing? Well we are living our lives the way that we want to of course. If that means, we re-organize things because that is what we find enjoyable or doing yard work, then that is what it will be. The list of hobbies that we do in our lives is always changing and that is what makes life what it is, for us because our interests don’t always stay the same. Which makes our lives not always stay the same, which is what gives us variety, which is what life is meant to have in it, remember that.

Hobbies is what makes life what it is, because we have to figure out what we enjoy doing in order to live the life we want too. So if you enjoy reading, or writing and consider those your hobbies, do that. The more we do our hobbies in life the better we live, and the better we feel. Hobbies and living is a way to relax, unwind and regroup from our other everyday duties, that is why hobbies are such an essential part of life. So pick things that help you relax and do them a couple times throughout the week or even daily and you will see that hobbies make life what it is in the end.

Hobbies give life variety and it gives us who are living these lives a way to be busy but not thinking too much. This means we are having fun and getting those endorphins of relaxation all at the same time. The more we put our hobbies and life together the better our lives will be because we will know how good we feel when we take that break from work and do the hobby that clears our minds and makes us feel alive in a completely different way.

Hobbies give our life variety in a way to learn things, relax and have fun. If we didn’t have hobbies in our lives we wouldn’t live which is why hobbies are essential to have in life no matter what they are. So what do you think hobbies and living make life?
