I am passionate about so many things that my brain can hardly catch up sometimes. They are as different from each other as animal welfare is to Shakespearean puns. Different foods, Japanese culture, the historic Jesus of Nazareth, psychology and plants (both indoor and outdoor) are just a few examples of things I am passionate about. They are spread far and wide, and I find new things to be passionate about constantly.

Psychotherapy gives to you what you give to it. There are no quick fixes to pain and trauma, but the more you pour into the sessions with an analyst, the more ill sentiment you get rid of, which leaves you with more space to see around you and value the good things.

I remember facts from all walks of life. I am very good at trivia games and remember random facts easily. I also love all the Peanuts characters, especially Snoopy; a gift with anything "Snoopy" on it will be a home run with me.
