The first thing I do for fun is reading. I like reading various books and such, from the Diary of Wimpy Kid books to the Hunger Games. One of my other favorites is the Alex Carter series, books like Solitude of Wolverines and a Blizzard of Polar Bears. Although I do read, I don’t do it as much as I should as it’s often sporadic in terms of consistency. So, I should probably work to make it more of a daily basis as it’s really good for the brain.
The second thing I like doing for fun is video games, probably my most favorite hobby. I love playing single player story games such as Hollow Knight and Stray and I play on various platforms. It’s something that I learn to really appreciate, because as time goes on. Video games become more of a luxury rather than an accommodation to a lifestyle especially as an adult. It is a massive part of my childhood, so I definitely have a soft spot for it.
The third thing I like doing for fun is writing. Definitely would be my other hobby that truly defines me if not for video games. I just love how with writing, it’s immensely satisfying to take just a random topic or string of words and turn it into something extraordinary. Whether it’s fictional or non-fictional, it becomes and amazing form of art. Reading it to yourself doesn’t hold as much impact, but when others read it and are in awe, you realize you have written a definitive of something truly special.
The fourth thing I like doing for fun is researching typologies. My favorite typology is the MBTI which is a personality assessment. But MBTI is universally flawed because it stereotypes and generalizes behaviors too much and is too shallow to give a bigger understanding of how the mind works. It usually works on an introvert and extrovert scale but fails to consider middle grounds and such for the others, as people moods can affect results. Since tests usually go on a true and false spectrum or from 1 to 5 and what stops someone from feeling like something is true, to the next day thinking otherwise. This is what leads to mistyping and bias, I like researching the cognitive functions such as NI, Fi, Te as those is way more accurate but a lot grittier into the details. But it’s definitely leads to less biased results.
The fifth thing I like to do is chess. Chess is my favorite board game, and I love being able to control tons of pieces to be able to corner your opponent’s side and eventually find an opening for a checkmate. It can even be more complicated with the castling and en passant strategies and it helps a lot with anticipation and being able to see multiple outcomes and act accordingly. I also grew up playing chess a lot, although I don’t do it as much as used. I still enjoy as a every now and then pastime.
