cooking, music and reading

 My love for food makes me practice any video on food I watch on U-tube because I love to eat variety.


Music sends great messages to the soul therefore  I love them most. It also takes me away from troubles other than engaging with my peers most often.


Reading gives me more ideas as a writer. I love to write stories most of the time and gets my inspiration when I do more reading
