A Moment Spent Alone Doing Something You Enjoyed


I enjoy being alone as it gives me the time to reflect on what has happened in the past few days and also gives me the mood to think of certain things that I need to reflect in my daily life.

There are many moments that I spend alone doing something I enjoy but there are 2 major things that I do at least thrice a week. The first thing is cycling. Ever since I was little I have been fascinated by bicycles and I get really exhilarated when I see cool looking bicycles. I first cycled when I was in kindergarten and I know more about bicycles as I got older.

The reason I enjoy cycling as it feels really good when the wind blows hard in my face when the weather is windy. I also love the feeling of adrenaline pulsing through my veins when I accelerate. I still remember I was so elated when I got my favourite BMX bicycle from my father. It is now 1 of my most prized possessions.

The other thing that I enjoy doing alone is reading manga which is a Japanese version of a comic book. The manga usually comes with a book jacket and its pages are in black and white. The more popular mangas get translated in English editions so you don't have to learn Japanese to read manga.

The reason I got interested in manga was because I didn't like books that was filled to the brim with boring words. That just turns me off so I found manga which is the complete opposite. The graphics are great and the plots are well thought of that a series of a particular manga could have more than a thousand chapters. Of course the thousands of chapter are not crammed into a single book. They are split into volumes and are arranged in the ascending sequence of numbers.

These two activities really helps me to relieve stress and I usual send my leisure time doing this. They also give me joy and a few laughs sometimes. I hope everyone has a particular activity that they enjoy and everyone is different so don't force yourself to do stuff that your friend does during your leisure time.

That's all so for now, Bye!
