ESSAY:
I remember the day vividly, I was down with a high fever and had been bedridden for
days. I was feeling bored and restless, unable to focus on anything for more than a few
minutes. That was when I stumbled upon an Origami tutorial on YouTube. I had never
tried Origami before, and I thought it would be an excellent way to pass the time.
At first, I was skeptical about my ability to fold paper into intricate designs, but as I
started following the instructions, I found myself getting more and more engrossed in
the task at hand. I was amazed at how a simple sheet of paper could be transformed
into a beautiful work of art. I was so focused on what I was doing that I lost track of time
and only realized how much time had passed when my fever started to subside.
The experience was therapeutic in many ways. Not only did it keep me occupied, but it
also helped me forget about my illness for a while. Folding paper and creating
something beautiful was a welcome distraction from the monotony of being stuck in
bed. It was a welcome change from the usual mindless scrolling on my phone or
watching TV, and I felt a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment when I was finished
with each piece.
I continued to practice Origami even after I got better, and it has since become a hobby
that I enjoy doing in my free time. The act of folding paper and creating something from
scratch has a calming effect on me and helps me destress. It has also helped me develop
patience and attention to detail, as even the smallest mistake can ruin an entire piece.
In conclusion, trying Origami when I had a high fever was a turning point for me. It has
since become a beloved hobby, and I am grateful for the chance encounter that led me
to discover it. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a creative outlet or a
way to escape from the stress of everyday life. Origami is a simple and accessible form
of art that anyone can try, and the rewards are immeasurable.
