LOH Community Contest #283 ~ My Imaginary Hobby
What is that one hobby you wish you could do for fun, too, and why can't you adopt it for your free time?

Back then in my Secondary school, I had a friend named Adeola, Adeola is a Yoruba boy and one amazing thing I loved about him was that he was so good at drawing. He could draw not just things or humans he was looking at, but also imaginary things or humans.
Adeola draws everything and anything given to him to draw, during lunch breaks, you would find him on his desk drawing, and on days he comes to school with his drawing book, we feed our eyes with beautiful and amazing drawings of Adeola. Well as a very close friend of Adeola, one thing I enjoy or one of the benefits of being his friend is that I get any drawing I need for free and without any hassle.
When we are given to draw a particular thing as an assignment in our arts class, he was there to draw his and mine, when we were giving drawing assignment in our biology class, Adeola would be the one to draw it, I didn't need to ask him, he was always available. Wow, talking about him now, making me realize how long it's been since I heard from him. Anything that has to do with drawing, he was my saving grace and always came to the rescue.
Many times I tried drawing, most especially when my mind tried to convince me that I could, but by the time I was done doing what I thought I was doing in the book, my drawing made no sense to me. No matter how many times I tried, my drawing was nothing to write home about or even to show people or admire.
I always lie to myself that I can draw but in the real sense, I can not even draw the strokes of a cup let alone draw a complicated object, no matter how I have tried, I never make sense of what my pen did on the paper by the end of the day. It always keeps me wondering what exactly I did. Fortunately, I have an acquaintance who is good at drawing and her drawings are admirable whenever she posts them on her status, whenever I see them, I always wish I were good at drawing but I guess if only wishes were horses.
I would have loved to take drawing as an hobby, something I could do for fun, something I could gladly do at my free time, something I could do when I want to relief myself of stress, or take my mind off a bad day or off my juggling mind but unfortunately I can not even get the strokes right, do not even know how to start and maybe I may be too lazy to learn how to draw and by the way how do one learn how to draw when they can not even twitch their hands because I am thinking people who can take a course in drawing are at least people who can even draw a tree correctly how much more a cup not someone like me that still have difficulties with drawing a cup.

LOHtokens.@nwaadiaha, You have received 1.0000 LOH for posting to Ladies of Hive.
We believe that you should be rewarded for the time and effort spent in creating articles. The goal is to encourage token holders to accumulate and hodl LOH tokens over a long period of time.
Reading your piece, has helped me realize that I had to start drawing again.
Don't worry, although,It is absolutely certain that art can be an inborn thing, but, if you draw consistently, despite failures, you keep pushing and trying, then, in no time, you will start drawing as well.
So don't give up just yet.
Have a good night rest.

You made me remember my younger bro who could draw anything too but as he grows older and get involved in too many things, he doesn't give time to drawing anymore like before. It's a beautiful hobby really and I wish you could do it too but don't force it, there are other amazing hobbies to learn.
