It’s a very cool evening when I decided to attempt this prompt. It’s a very good one. It asks about how we use our free time. The free time is that part of the day, week or month whereby we aren’t engaged with the normal hustle and bustle of life. I stopped to think, for me, when I became conscious of free time, the first journey I went on with is the one of discovery.From a very young age, I have come across the teaching of hobbies and that’s the best way you can enjoy your free time. Engaging with your hobbies.I love to be a creator, I engage in different creative works. So I use my free time to do what I love. https://img.inleo.io/DQmSAYP4Fq51CfFF2QrKWG5LLaGEkyJfTZsD3vyTEeaJSY9/B4D83B38-D210-433A-B637-61587292744E.webp
Reading books.
On a normal day, even when I’m not free, I try as much as possible to skip past a few pages of interesting books. One thing I am committed to till I leave this world is searching for knowledge. I have a curious mind and I love to engage my mind. During my free time, I pick up a book and read. I try to really grasp what the book is all about. I love to see myself as a very knowledgeable person and I try as much as possible to improve on that. This has overtime become a solid habit which I don’t intend to change anytime soon.

Writing
If you are an avid reader, you’d know how important writing is to you. Another thing I do with my free time is to write. It goes well with my reading habit. Sometimes I need to jot down something in my head, a knowledge I’ve gained from the book, or sometimes when I want to think. This isn’t only something I do during my free time, but also during my most precious time because professionally, I’m also a writer. Writing has filled me up in different ways. I have a bit of anxiety and writing is one of the ways I deal with it. I just got over my fears, sometimes I do turn it into a nice story and just publish. It’s my coping mechanism.

Spend time with family
This part is one I should have included at the top. What’s life without our loved ones? The reason why it isn’t at the top is that for a long time now, I’ve been away from my life. A part of me also loves the secluded life. It’s a pathway for the most creative. So my free time is much more spent enjoying reading and writing. Another way I spend my free time is by basking in the love of my family. Staying with them and enjoying a cool Sunday evening meal with them. There is a joy you get when you spend time with people who you are bound by blood. There is no better place you can be than with your family.

Relating with nature
Relating with nature is another way I spend my free time. It’s the part of me that takes reflection. Sometimes in the evening, I take a walk, across the street and I let my mind wander without hindrances. It has a way of helping me gather my thoughts and come up with creative ideas. I believe I’m using the instance to steal or let say borrow from nature. It is also the way I relax my mind.

I believe what makes up my free time is recommendable to people. Especially relating with nature. It helps a lot, for people to unwind and reflect on things. Also relating with the family, it’s a recommended, though that is also tricky. As I’m aware not everyone has a “great family” so that may sound traumatic to others, who don’t enjoy same privileges.
