My mother died recently(~2 years) from cancer and the things she thought I would do, and even I, at some sense, tried to and gave up, came back.

I was a naturally talent kid for music. Even without any education I could get a instrument and figure it out. Sure, that wouldn't me make a great player, as that involves a lot of dedication. But we were very poor and couldn't afford the instrument or the musical education(or the time to, as music rarely becomes something profitable in one's life) and I instead focused on at least having a job. So I studied computer science now and live abroad. Good choice.

So, I've bought a guitar around the time she died and started playing. Definitely not playing as much as I should to become very good, but enough to talk about it being a hobby. I also enjoy it very much. I think that if I would try to become good(as I had to, for other things, in exchange of money), it would lose the fun of it. So I don't try hard.

My other hobby is reading. I want to learn how to speak German(I can speak other 3 languages), as I live in Germany and have been trying to improve myself in that language consistently. I'm not such a good language learner, but I've been consistently studying them throughout my life.

Another hobby I would like to take on, maybe once I get more confortable with life in Germany(and the language) is to paint. I can draw quite well but got bored of it. I had plenty of fun painting at school and some other occasions. I really like color and abstract art. It is very relaxing and might help me to relieve some stress from my day job as a software dev.
