Everyone has their own hobbies and obsessions. I have some as well, obviously. But it seems that my hobbies change every now and then. Some of these hobbies are only enjoyable for me for a certain time of the year. I start to enjoy reading books as if my life depends on it. Last year, the last Harry Potter film came out and therefore I wanted to read all the Harry Potter books, and I borrowed three of them from the library.

Harry Potter is also one of my temporary obsessions. As soon as I read a lot about it on Twitter or Tumblr, I immediately want to watch all the films and read the books. I remember how excited I was about Pottermore in the beginning. But after a month or two, I had forgotten about its existence. And really, I enjoy reading little parts about Harry Potter, but really, it just isn't as special as it used to be any more.

The same goes for drawing. I really really really love to draw and I'm actually a little bit good at it (I think, maybe?), but for some strange reason, I can only put some effort into drawings I make during winter, but now, during spring, I just don't like it as much as I did a few months ago. I don't even use my Deviant Art account any more to upload drawings.

There are some hobbies of mine that I enjoy throughout the whole year. And one of them is writing. Just writing. This is a bit of a broad concept of course, but I enjoy every kind of writing. I used to blog when I was younger (around age 12), I also wrote books and poems, but I also enjoy writing at school. And this sounds nerdy or whatever, but I actually like it. When I enjoy a certain subject or lesson, and I understand what we're being taught, I want to actually do my homework. We had to write a little story about a girl who went on vacation with a bus and disappeared, and we had to tell what had happened to the girl. I enjoyed writing the story.

But I still think I don't have enough talent to write good stories. I wanted to be a writer, I always did. But I don't think I have enough talent, or that I am creative enough to write enjoyable, exciting, scary, funny and above all interesting stories. I want people to read what I wrote and think about it. It has to be a story that makes people think. It isn't as easy as I thought it would be.

But having a blog is good enough for me, for now.
