Enjoy working on cars, drawing and art and building things
I enjoy getting my hands into it and the peace it brings while I am doing these things. Getting my hand on the car parts that don't work to replace it with a new working part makes me feel good. Drawing is a way to express what I like and see in this world. Building brings my creative mind to life and whatever I can image I can bring to life with trial and error great things can happen.
