I really enjoy a mix of hobbies that keep my life interesting. Basketball is a big one for me; I love the rush of the game and the camaraderie with my friends on the court. Nature walks are another favorite—I find it refreshing to get outside and just soak in the sights and sounds around me. Tennis is a blast, too; it’s a great way to stay active while having fun and challenging myself. And when I need to relax, I dive into a good book. Each of these activities brings something special to my life, helping me stay balanced and happy.
