I thought it would be good for everyone to, instead of focusing on symptoms, talk about their passions, hobbies; what you simply live to do.

I love writing. I live and breathe words. They are my safe zone; the tool that allows me to show other people exactly what I want them to see, whether in this world or one from my own imagination.

I love to read. Books are doorways to another perspective. They are what get you out of your own head and replace you in another's.

I love to draw. I was not born with the talent but I have accumulated some of it through practice and good ol YouTube how-to's.

I am interested to see what other people love to do and for yourselves, I would love it if you could also post (unless you do not want to) four positive things about yourself. Like:

-artistic

-creative

-i make people laugh

-witty

I just thought it would help take your minds off worry and redirect it onto something positive and something you are passionate about. :)

Mayb well I guess I havent watched that as well gatta check it out.

That is very good that you take pleasure from anything you engage in:)

Hi,

I can't draw, my son is very artistic, I got a child's instruction booklet on how to draw, that was about all I could master. I used to Knit and crotchet, but arthritis makes it difficult.

I love swimming, am going soon, walking, socialising, visiting open gardens, weather permitting, it is so...cold and wet here in Rochdale.

I love my family and like visiting my grandchildren.

What do I like about myself.

I'm friendly, like to laugh, like to help people, and am sensitive.

A recursive. Compounds are too heavy (for me).

Ah, I see. I would like a recurve, as I believe I would enjoy them more than compounds.
