Solving puzzles, reading novels, cooking, photography and interior design.
Puzzles excite me because of their challenges. They help me understand there are many ways to reach set goals, especially in life. My favorite puzzles are logic games and crosswords. Novels, especially those with analepsis, thrill my thinking. I have a big and wild imagination coupled with actual and vivid pictures in my head. A blank wall or room can look beautifully different in my head, hence why I love interior design. My eyes feast on pleasantries, and my taste buds are impeccable, that is why I will never stop cooking.
