This is such a tough topic for me because, frankly speaking, I was more of a “homely” child who didn’t exactly like to get out of his home except for just going to school. In other words, I didn’t really have many hobbies, which required me to go outside of the home, other than watching cartoons. Then again, watching cartoon itself can also be considered as a hobby. Isn’t it?
Not sure, why exactly I adopted this hobby, but I guess that it must have something to do with the cat that I raised as my pet. So, when I first saw “Tom and Jerry” (the famous Disney land cartoon) and found out that the cat named “Tom” was getting into trouble just like my little pet cat, I became hooked to it. After that, of course, I have seen many, many other cartoons, but I never found them as funny as “Tom and Jerry”.
But that didn’t stop me from watching those cartoons during my childhood because they always stimulated my mind and brain to draw some sort of parallel between a real world, in which we live, and the imaginary world, in which the cartoon characters live, only to find out, of course, that the world, in which we live, is not as rosy and nice as they try to portray in cartoons. I adopted this hobby also because my parents didn’t really want me to go out too much, lest I would get influenced by bad company or social elements. So, I guess that I didn’t have any other option except to keep liking watching the cartoons because it at least kept my parents happy while I also kept getting my favourite chips and the toys for my pet cat.
Anyway, watching cartoon is not my hobby anymore because, for better or worse, I have grown much older to figure out that even though, cartoons can make us laugh, they don’t do anything to solve our real-world problems. Besides, now I have found much better hobbies to try and they are way more interesting than “Tom and Jerry”.
