How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are? I have to say I am like a 36 year old haha. I like to stay in instead of going out, I enjoy crochet and watching British comedy shows all night and already anticipate becoming a crazy cat lady.
- Which is worse, failing or never trying? Failing sucks for a while but I know personally I hate the feeling of ‘what if?’. So, never trying feels the worst.
- If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do? Obligation?
- When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done? Very much so. Unfortunately.
- What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world? Inequality.
- Are you doing what you believe in, or are you settling for what you are doing? Settling. At the moment I am yet to discover what I am passionate about.
- If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently? I would say ‘no’ less to opportunities.
- To what degree have you controlled the course your life has taken? I feel like I should know what to do, but I don’t. I am at a point where I need to take control but I don’t know what to direct myself towards.
- Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things? Ooohhh hmm. Doing things right. I would hope that they’d align with ‘the right thing’.
- You’re having lunch with three people you respect and admire. They all start criticizing a close friend of yours, not knowing she is your friend. The criticism is distasteful and unjustified. What do you do? Point out their good qualities to prove them wrong.
- If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be? Enjoy your childhood, and don’t take anything for granted.
- Would you break the law to save a loved one? I’d be tempted.
- Have you ever seen insanity where you later saw creativity? No? Unless you mean how in my mum’s messy house I started looking at pinterest for ways to organize it :P
- What’s something you know you do differently than most people? Organize my cutlery drawer. I put the order as fork, knife, spoon. Everyone else seems to do it differently :P
- How come the things that make you happy don’t make everyone happy? I find spending time alone and watching tv or writing a letter makes me happy but other people have different hobbies, and tendencies. That’s okay. ☺
- What one thing have you not done that you really want to do? What’s holding you back? I really want to get my licence, but I cannot afford lessons and my Mum is only just thinking of starting to give me lessons herself.
- Are you holding onto something you need to let go of? There is a girl who used to bully and abuse me as a child (she was about 4 years older) and really hurt me for years and years and when I tried to reach out to her about it when we were adults she claimed she doesn’t remember. I am still holding on to it because she won’t admit the wrong she did to me.
- If you had to move to a state or country besides the one you currently live in, where would you move and why? I would move back to Wellington, I miss the culture and life I had there, I am happy enough here, but it isn’t the same. It sucks how I can’t drive yet so I feel a bit reliant on others.
- Do you push the elevator button more than once? Do you really believe it makes the elevator faster? No I don’t but sometimes if I am anxious (or late) to something at a road crossing I will press the pedestrian crossing button multiple times haha. I think everyone does it sometimes ;)
- Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton? Joyful simpleton haha.
- Why are you, you? Because of every action I have made and because of the impact of all the people around me.
- Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend? I have thought about this one before. Sometimes I find myself thinking, oh my goodness I shouldn’t have said that, I would hate if someone said that to me in that tone etc. I could be a much much better friend.
- Which is worse, when a good friend moves away, or losing touch with a good friend who lives right near you? The second one. I feel like then it would be a fault of my own.
- What are you most grateful for? My parents (I suppose that is ‘who’).
- Would you rather lose all of your old memories, or never be able to make new ones? Oh this is hard, lose my old memories?
- Is is possible to know the truth without challenging it first? uhhhhhh
- Has your greatest fear ever come true? Nope. My family are all still alive.
- Do you remember that time 5 years ago when you were extremely upset? Does it really matter now? Yes. The situation – no, but the strength from the situation that I got does matter.
- What is your happiest childhood memory? What makes it so special? I have to admit, I am not sure. I have been sitting here for a while trying to think of it, but I can’t.
- At what time in your recent past have you felt most passionate and alive? At the end of high school I felt like I knew where I was going and then it turned out I didn’t.
- If not now, then when? Uhhh??
- If you haven’t achieved it yet, what do you have to lose? I feel like these questions are just addressing my anxiety now :P
- Have you ever been with someone, said nothing, and walked away feeling like you just had the best conversation ever? Yess, my best friend and I can be like this. So happy in each other’s company.
- Why do religions that support love cause so many wars? Someone somewhere says or does the wrong thing and it spirals out of control.
- Is it possible to know, without a doubt, what is good and what is evil? Only by using a magic eight ball. No. Everything is open to interpretation.
- If you just won a million dollars, would you quit your job? I have no job, but if I did, and I was very unhappy, then yes I would.
- Would you rather have less work to do, or more work you actually enjoy doing? more work I actually enjoy doing
- Do you feel like you’ve lived this day a hundred times before? Yes :/
- When was the last time you marched into the dark with only the soft glow of an idea you strongly believed in? Sounds like beginning university.
- If you knew that everyone you know was going to die tomorrow, who would you visit today? My parents and siblings
- Would you be willing to reduce your life expectancy by 10 years to become extremely attractive or famous? No
- What is the difference between being alive and truly living? I feel like when you are truly living you are experiencing new things and exploring the world.
- When is it time to stop calculating risk and rewards, and just go ahead and do what you know is right? Uhhhhhhhhhh
- If we learn from our mistakes, why are we always so afraid to make a mistake?
Because sometimes we feel we aren’t prepared for the struggle or pain that may come from the mistake itself. - What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you? I wouldn’t shave my facial hair from PCOS.
- When was the last time you noticed the sound of your own breathing? Just now, haha. No, this afternoon when I was doing some gardening and was getting quite tired.
- What do you love? Have any of your recent actions openly expressed this love?
I love my parents. I did some of their gardening and built some kitset stuff for them that they’d never gotten around to. - In 5 years from now, will you remember what you did yesterday? What about the day before that? Or the day before that? I have done nothing of note in the last few days unfortunately.
- Decisions are being made right now. The question is: Are you making them for yourself, or are you letting others make them for you? Actually I feel like I am making them for myself but I know that how others would feel to the outcome plays in to what ‘I’ want.
