What activities do you lose yourself in?
Saw this prompt and I just had to write. I always had trouble listing out hobbies when someone asked what I did for fun. It was and still is a long list. I do a variety of things. I write blogs, read (books and fan-fiction), write letters and postcards, knit, draw, paint, bake, watch movies/series. It sure is a long list right?
But what do I lose myself in? Which activity is so immersive that I have to find myself later on?
I would have to choose reading. Any fictional work, when written well will make the reader get lost in that corresponding world. I have gone so intense as to finish an entire book in a day. I have also gone very lightly treading that it took me months to finish a small book too. I tend to get so involved with the characters and their turmoil I cry for them, laugh for them and wished I could hug them.
The next thing I lose myself is while watching anime. More than live action for some reason anime catches my attention better. In fact one of my true loves is a fictional character. His name is Ban Midou. He is one of the protagonists from the series Get Backers. He is kind, caring, sarcastic, badass and has beautiful violet eyes. I have never met someone with natural violet eyes. But I am sure they would look so awesome with just that one trait.
See I am going on and on about a guy who is not even real!
That is how you lose yourself!
