List five things you do for fun.

So, fun to me may be torture to others.

1. Organizing (cleaning out, recycling, donating)

I feel refreshed and fulfulled when I have less. I can breathe, things look nicer and I have given to those who have less.

2. Deep conversations

I love to talk about real stuff. So many people in this world are surface. It is nice to get real and have an intimate connection with loved ones through good conversation.

3. Daydream

I love to come up with all of these what if scenarios as to how my life could be if I lived in this place or if this happened. I am an escapist to a degree. I enjoy my people and my life but always wonder about more. Kinda keeps me from acheiving as much as I could, I imagine.

4. Go to cafes and bookstores

No matter what city/country/town we go to, I will take 10000 steps or 200 to go and sit with an Americano and a good book or a good person and just chill and observe. It is so very “Friends” of me, but I relish in it.

5. Plan events or get togethers

As we speak, I am simmering chili and turning on tea light candles to make my room look comfy. I have stemless wineglasses filled with snacks and I have a tiny cutting board for cheese and salami. My friend is on the way and I am excited. I did this same thing for my best guy for his bday last weekend. And on Christmas Eve and Day I had boards for cocoa and movie time. I love little treats and extravagant feeling occasions. Even if the cost is small, it is in the little details. It keeps me alive to make things special for myself and others.
