Reading and Cooking

I have a deep passion for reading, which allows me to continuously expand my knowledge and stay informed about various subjects. Cooking, on the other hand, serves as both a creative outlet and a way to practice patience and precision, enabling me to balance analytical thinking with hands-on skills.
