Reading is a great way to escape the real world, immerse yourself in a magical fantasy, feed the brain, and also a great thing to do when you need to take time away from social media and technology.

While also watching the show Legend of Bruce Lee on Netflix, I have learned a lot about the background and philosophy of martial arts.
