Look My Friends, You Don't Have To Be An Omnivore or Carnivore To Get All Your Nutrients And Enjoy All Your Favourite Foods!
Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food. - Hippocrates During my adolescence, I had one goal to pursue for the rest of my life: to be some sort of vegetarian and then be a vegan when I'm mentally, physically and emotionally ready! I believe being a vegetarian or vegan is the most beautiful thing in the world, because it reduces your vulnerability to certain ailments like heart disease, multiple types of cancers, diabetes and can be a weapon to mental illness for some people.

My Dream Destination: The Republic of Udmurtia, Russia
My long term goal is to travel to as many of the Soviet republics as possible. The republic of Udmurtia in central Russia is one of the republics I have the desire to visit in the near future. At the beginning of my young adulthood, I began to explore and research various Soviet republics besides Yakutia, Chechnya and Dagestan. After randomly finding pictures of the Udmurt people on Google, I started virtually travelling to Udmurtia by viewing photographs and watching Udmurt language tutorials on YouTube. Although English travel YouTuber and Soviet culture and history enthusiast Bald and Bankrupt has been a huge inspiration to further pursuing my love for Soviet culture, I've been dreaming to travel to the diverse Soviet republics and exploring the diverse and unique cultures of Russia way before discovering Bald and Bankrupt.

The Top 5 Books I Want To Read One Day
As I've read more books, my taste in literature developed. I was less fussy about genres and was more open to taking book recommendations from people. My aunt, grandmother, dad and many of my peers are avid readers and we often give book recommendations to each other. When I first read fiction later in primary school, I stuck to Nancy Drew's mystery novels, the Warriors novels and classic literature. I was never big into comic books and I didn't enjoy reading books that were too large. When I was twelve years old, I become more open to reading fantasy novels, folktales, historical fiction books and biographies. Since I was big into history, I mainly focused on reading books that discussed Indigenous people from North America.

The 5 Main Reasons Why I Want To Be A Writer
Since I was as young as 8 years old, I held onto another big dream: to be a writer. As soon as I started collecting diaries and using MicrosoftWord, I embarked on my writing journey. I always had a journal and pen everywhere I went, including at school. My journal was my "best friend" and "therapist" who I could talk to about whatever I desired without being criticized or punished. I wrote everything from journal entries to the most ridiculous stories on the planet.

Recess Was A Nightmare
Living with Autism and GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) has some perks, but also some downsides. Autism and GAD made it possible for me to inspire many of my teachers, classmates, friends, family members and other people around me, nevertheless it also made socializing with other children a challenge for me. As I've mentioned in multiple stories, I'm an extremely sociable and affable person by nature, but that still doesn't outweigh the social challenges I've endured in the youth. Recess was lots of fun, but also quite the struggle for me! I definitely felt somewhat like the "black sheep" during my elementary and middle school years.

If I Won The Lottery, I Would.....
I know it's quite illegitimate, but we all dream of winning the lottery at one point in our lives. We all want to be millionaires who can buy large, luxurious Malibu-style houses, convertibles, go on trips with 5-star hotels and anything that we can't afford to do. Unfortunately, not everyone can achieve the lavish lifestyle whether we are poor or financially stable enough to live a reasonable lifestyle. It's just reality. Unless you or your family have successful businesses and careers that enable you to live a wealthy lifestyle, it won't be likely that you'll live it.

Sweet Tooth
I was a sweet tooth who couldn't stop craving candies, cookies, ice cream and cake. It was an addiction that I wanted to stop but I was unable to. The aroma of sugar made me drown in my own pool of syrup. The sight of ice cream made me freeze like an igloo. I was consumed with sweets and sugar like I was about to go on an edible drug overdose. It was perilous like smoke penetrating my brain, belly and throat. The sound of cookies baking made me run to the kitchen. The touch of goopy custard made me sticky like taffy. The sweet smack of chocolate made my stomach roar like a lion in the jungles of Africa. I was a sweet tooth who couldn't stop thinking about Oreo cookies, hot fudge sundaes, Dairy Queen blizzards and cotton candy milkshakes. Artificial sugar was my narcotic that made me high as a kite and stoned as a rock.

My Dream Destination: Ukraine
Long before I started watching Bald and Bankrupt's travel vlogs, my wish was to visit multiple post-Soviet countries such as Ukraine in the nearer future. I believe that travelling to Ukraine would be a magical experience to remember, especially if it was another destination that I wanted to explore for quite some time. The day will come, it will just take time. I want to first learn and master travelling on a plane independently. I also want to experience Russia with my brother and see how I enjoy it, before I decide to travel to another post-Soviet destination like Ukraine.
