What activities do you lose yourself in?
This may come as a surprise, but any activity allowing me to use my creativity sends me to another plane of existence. Art, writing, gaming, music, whatever! I can sit and stare at a wall all day so long as I can let my mind wander! Just ask my teachers!
Sometimes in writing, especially my fictional pieces, I find my mind moving faster than I can really process what’s happening. In a way, I don’t always know the ending of the story I’m writing! It just sort of changes as I go and becomes a whole new thing. I just let myself go and assimilate myself with the world I’m building. The rest smooths out in editing.
I love drawing or painting. I’m particularly fond of these intricate designs with my pen or sharpie. I’ve been posting them on my TikTok. The utensil just brings out the calm and allow me to experiment with colors and patterns to create something beautiful. Arts and crafts just have a way of allowing myself to have fun without commitment or worries! This is also something my girlfriend and I enjoy doing together and discussing. We share supplies and ideas and we love showing off our pieces!
My favorite video game is Minecraft. I love how it allows players complete freedom to explore and play however they choose! Solo adventures, servers, maps, speed-runs, mods, you name it! It’s all there! With the coding mechanics this game provides a platform for all players to enjoy!
I love letting my mind wander and partaking in adventures which I can later bring to life in writing. A lot of these activities I share with my friends and we work together to make even better pieces. I find the only way to really find and express my inner self is through my creativity.
