My Mental Space

So I figured I’d do the prompt today., because why not change it up a little.

1. I like to get into a subject and research it exhaustively when it catches my attention, usually because it’s something I want to buy and want to make sure I’m making the right purchase.
2. I love driving my cars. There are times where I just need to get out and go for a drive to clear my head, or because I’m in the mood, and not just because I need to go out and buy something. They’re more than just something to get me to different places, they’re something that’s fun and can take me places as a bonus!
3. Most media, aside from TV shows and movies, are big obsessions of mine. Music can boost the mood, good or bad, reading can relax the soul and teach us things we never knew, or simply gives us fantasies to indulge in, and video games do the same for fantasies while also challenging us to do things in them that take practice and skill, from finding treasures to fighting foes.
4. I love sleeping. There are some days where I just can’t get enough and want to spend the whole day in bed. Of course, life keeps us busy, so that sort of leisure is rare, but when it happens, it’s glorious.
5. I like trying new foods out. In our world, food is more than just something to survive by, but to enrich our happiness and our taste buds. While writing this, I’m eating a couple of donuts from Yellow Light, a donut and coffee shop inside Michigan Central, and they’re some of the best donuts I’ve had in forever, so when I come here, I snag a half-dozen. They didn’t have their red velvet today, which was a bummer, but everything’s tasted wonderful anyway.

A runner up for fun because it’s infrequent but still fun is decorating/redecorating/refreshing one’s space. It’s never a good thing to get too comfy with where you habitate, and it IS a good thing to take time to tidy at the very least, but also to change things around and freshen up the atmosphere in your daily life. Thank you Marie Kondo for teaching me about the value of one’s surroundings.

Sometimes the definition of “fun” is what you make of it. Another person could easily do five different and equally entertaining pastimes for this list and it might leave us with a few more ideas to try out later on. Do you do something that you personally find fun that’s different from others’ opinions? If something seems interesting to you, try it! No harm done if it’s not your thing in the end.
