It always leaves like such a daunting question to answer. “What do you do for fun?” Sometimes I feel like I don’t do anything fun anymore. As I’ve gotten older, I feel like my not-so-fun responsibilities tend to monopolize all of my time. However, there are a few things I still like to do for fun.

• Writing
  • I’ve been writing since I was about 14 years old and I just love it. I love developing new stories and filling in the plot. I try to write something for myself everyday, even if it’s just a couple words.
• Reading
  • I tend to stick to audiobooks these days because I don’t always know how to relax. However, part of my goals for this year is to slow down. To get off my phone and be present more. I really want to read physical books again, and I’ve slowly managed to find a way to do that.
• Working Out
  • Believe it or not, I really love working out. I love going to the gym. I love being fit. I had surgery in August and I’m able to start going back, but it’s been difficult. I’m worried about hurting myself again and needing surgery again. So I’m getting back to it very slowly.
• Travel
  • I love to travel, even if it’s just going somewhere a couple hours from home. I love seeing historical sites. I love camping and mountains. I love beaches and sunshine. I love seeing other cultures and being immersed in other countries. I haven’t been out of the US in a long time, but hopefully next summer!
• My Aquarium
  • I keep a 125-gallon saltwater aquarium. I have 2 clownfish, 1 pufferfish, 1 blue tang (Dory from Finding Nemo), 1 diamond goby, 1 bicolor blenny, 1 clown goby, 2 hermit crabs, a sea urchin, and 4 or 5 snails. I’ve started adding some corals too. It’s a fun hobby I started back in 2018, and I always encourage others to get into it. So fun!
