Hanging around with friends can be great, but the reality of it, is they're are not always there. And that's where enjoying your own company is important.
Now, I can be quite the lazy person, but in contrast, my mind wants to do so many gazillion things. I'm a curious person, but I guess I'm not the most pro-active person, and that's a bad habit because you then become the person that says a lot of things but never do any of it.
I can list all the things I am curious about or love to do, but I promise that we'll be here forever. But generally, I like to be creative. For example, writing.
I have over 10 unfinished stories on my laptop/in my notebooks, and I've not return to them in years.
There's a story about a couple who like to break the law for a living...like Bonny and Clyde, that I started and never finished 4 years ago.
There's a story and a script about a girl who was born on another planet- Venus precisely- but brought to earth when her home was destroyed and had to adapt to living on earth... I think I started this when I was 13 or 14 years old...
There's a story about a girl who starts writing letters to an anonymous person as she starts her last year in college... very much inspired by 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower', how original right? I think I was around...15 when I started writing this.
Believe me, there is so much more crappy and unoriginal stories that I have not shown any love to for the past couple years. The only 'novel' I ever finished writing was when I was 13 (or 14- I can never be too sure) called 'The Mistress', and it was about a woman who liked stealing married men to mend her broken heart from a past relationship, and then falls in love a married man. Can you believe a 13 year old writing this?
Point is, I've not written a story in forever, but since I've been doing creative writing in sixth form, I have taken to some past stories recently, and realised how much I missed it. It really is an escape for me, and I realised that it was something I could do whether I was bored or not. That is enjoying your own company.
I guess it all comes down to self-care; people are not always going to be there to chill with, and so doing something that you love and enjoy to make you happy, is even better. I encourage anyone to find out what they love to do and do it, not only are you being pro-active but at the same time, you're discovering yourself.
