One thing I love is learning new things! Whether it be a new recipe, hobby, talent, or skill I am always on the lookout for ways to keep my mind sharp! To give some examples, I taught myself how to knit, juggle, 3D model/animate, and photo restoration. I've made content in the areas of foley art, song writing, short story writing, video essays, and even haiku's! I love going on a good wikipedia binge where I learn about history/art/or just interesting people.
