In a world filled with questions about hobbies and pursuits, I recently found myself pondering what truly defines me beyond the routine of work and workouts. As someone who doesn’t conform to the typical Friday and Saturday night scenes, the question left me reflecting on my own interests and passions.
Embracing Individuality:
Let’s face it; not everyone fits the mold of the conventional weekend reveler. While others may flock to happy hours or indulge in the latest nightlife trends, my idea of a good time takes a different route. And that’s perfectly okay.
Breaking Free from the Mold:
I’ll admit, I don’t find joy in the typical pursuits that society often associates with unwinding. I don’t partake in alcohol, I’m not drawn to cigar lounges, and I don’t chase the thrill of late-night escapades. Initially, this realization had me feeling like I might be missing out on something, but the truth is, my interests lie elsewhere.
Exploration as My Escape:
Rather than conforming to the norm, I’ve discovered solace and excitement in exploration. Traveling, for me, is not just a hobby; it’s a passion. The thrill of discovering new places, experiencing different cultures, and immersing myself in the unknown is my ultimate pursuit.
Pampering the Soul:
In my quest for self-discovery, I’ve learned to appreciate the art of pampering. Whether it’s treating myself to a luxurious spa day, a massage, a staycation or savoring a delightful dinner at a restaurant, these moments of indulgence have become my way of unwinding. I can’t forget just sitting and lounging around the house, signed out of my computer, and social media.
It’s a Vibe to the Beat:
And then there are those moments when I let loose to the vibrant tunes of Afro beats and Omopiano. Occasionally, I’ll venture out to selected spots that resonate with the beats that speak to my soul. It’s my way of connecting with a community that shares my love for these rhythmic genres.

Conclusion:
In a world that often encourages conformity, I’ve learned to revel in the joy of being true to myself, embracing the adventure of exploration, finding solace in the simple pleasures that bring me genuine happiness, and dancing to the beats that make my heart sing. And you know what? That makes me anything but ordinary. It makes me uniquely me.
