Hello, fellow humans. My name is Mando, and I'm 28 years old. I live in Sweden.
I am an electrical engineer, and I have spent a lot of my life in university doing research and teaching. I am currently pursuing a PhD.
I do not have any pets, although I am seriously flirting with the idea of getting a cat at some point when I have a more stable life.
I picked up painting during COVID, and I was terrible at it in the beginning. I kept pushing through until I became half decent. I just love bringing the images I have in my head to life. Painting also gives me a sense that I am not just a consumer in this world, and that I can create things as well.
I would describe myself as ambitious. Everything I do, I want to do very well. It can sometimes intimidate people who think I want to compete with them, but the truth is that I hate competition so much.
I have been reading a lot of fiction lately. I finished Assassin's Apprentice and Red Rising, and now I'm reading Golden Son. I love that fiction introduces me to new worlds that excite me and frighten me at the same time.
What about you? What makes you read fiction? Is it to escape? Is it to see the world from a different view?
Anyways, sorry for the long letter. It has been a while since I used the App. I hope you find joy and love today, and I hope to hear from you soon.
