Creative Writing:-
My favorite hobby:-
I’m passionate about reading. Although I have several
hobbies, such as watching movies and hiking, reading
books is what resonates well with me. There are many
reasons why I love reading. The first reason is it gives me
a level of fulfillment. That is, books rejuvenate me. After
reading a book, I feel like a whole new being and my
outlook in life changes.

The second reason is books make my mind sharp. It is a

known fact that books improve our brain muscles. They
make us think better and improve our decision making
abilities. I find it funny that whenever I utter a clever
quote from a book, everyone around me would be
dumbfounded.

Furthermore, books are very wide and detailed. It seems

like there is a book for anything you can think of. If you
want religious books, there is the Bible, the Quran and
other spiritual books. There are financial books,
inspirational books, cooking books, business-related

books, biographies, fictional and non-fictional- the list is

endless. Reading is actually among the few hobbies that
you learn while doing it.

Due to my widely acquired knowledge from books, I find

it easy to jumpstart a conversation with a stranger. I
realized that people are more responsive when you engage
them in topics they are familiar with. This is where I have
an upper hand over other people, because I’m quite
knowledgeable in many sphere of life thanks to books.

While most people find reading an upheaval task, reading

to me is like a calling. It just comes naturally to me. I
have made it my culture to read at least a chapter before I
hit the sack. Sometimes I read late into the night,
especially during the weekends and I only stop when my
head becomes too drowsy to continue. My reading culture
is further heightened by my introversion.

Most of my ‘me-time’ is actually spent on reading. This is

how I get my energy back. The outside can be too
overwhelming for some of us. Whenever I feel like my
energy has been milked dry by the outside world, I just
take a few hours of reading to rekindle my spirits again.
