I recall vividly being engrossed in watching movies, particularly series when I was in secondary school. I literally couldn't live without a series that I'm binge-watching or a movie that I'm planning to watch.
The only time I don't find myself sitting in front of the television is when I have exams, and even then, I manage to watch movies. I recall vividly being a DC fan and watching the Justice League animation series as well as the Smallville movie series back then.
Speaking of Smallville, it was and still is my favourite movie series because it taught me a lot about my favourite superhero, Superman. I learned a lot about his origins and how he lived his life before becoming the Superman we all know and love. This was the film that defined my childhood. I watched the series from season 1 to season 10. Season 11 was comics, and I had to read the comics because I love them.
I was also captivated by movies like Supernaturals; when you hear names like Sam and Dean, you know the person is a member of the family. I didn't watch the movie all the way through, but it was one of the movies I watched back to back.
I was a total movie junkie. There was no trending movie mentioned (most American action and thriller movies) that I would not have watched; I took movies more seriously than I did my studies.
But now, things seem to have changed...
What actually changed?
I literally moved from watching over 100 movies a year to someone who rarely watch a movie in a month. Like literally, the number of movies I have watched this year can never be up to 10. Maybe it is because I grew up.
Maybe it's because I'm no longer the kid I used to be, and I'm aware that adulthood has set in. Or have I naturally progressed from being an interesting person to a boring person? (what some of my friends call me). From my point of view, I actually enjoy my life.
What do I love about my life?
Aside from the fact that I no longer get to watch movies like I used to, I enjoy almost every aspect of my life. This is because I am not always bored by the majority of the activities in which I am involved. This is the main reason I can be very engaged and still not feel like sleeping after literally spending the entire day.
I only sleep when I really want to, more like when I need to because I have literally exhausted all of my energy.
What do I spend my time doing?
I would most likely be studying if I wasn't organising meetings for newbies on @hive-bootcamp or @newbies-hive. I don't mean studying for my physical school (in which I have only 1% interest), but rather for my tech career as a Cloud/DevOps Engineer. So far, it's been quite interesting...
What do I do in my free time?
Actually, I am not at all boring... In my spare time, I either do one of these four activities. I'm either eating, playing the guitar, learning a language (particularly Spanish), or sleeping.
I am a self-proclaimed foodie. I adore food and would gladly be paid to try new foods and provide feedback on how they tasted after consumption. If such a job existed, it would be fantastic.
In order to play the guitar, I mostly play at church on weekends. During the week, you won't see me playing the guitar. Unless I have a programme coming up, it is quite rare. But when I have nothing to do or need a break from my daily routines, you can find me on the guitar.
I am a huge fan of the Spanish community. I loved Spanish before joining Hive, and joining Hive gave me even more reason to take my Spanish Duolingo lessons seriously. I currently have a 104-lesson streak on Duolingo, which means I use the Duolingo app almost every day.
What is more interesting than having to sleep?
Despite the fact that this is the best of my free time and what I rarely do. I sleep 4 hours a day and I think my body is used to it. Without an alarm, my body is programmed to wake up as early as 4 a.m., despite the fact that I usually go to bed as late as 12 a.m. or almost 2 a.m.
Nature strikes me down because this is not healthy. The sleep I don't get always come unexpectedly to compensate for my stress.
If you read to this point, thank you for reading but actually, I am not a movie addict but was one. The whole Idea of the title was to catch your attention.
