Deep Thoughts About Life and You In It
- Do you live in the moment: Yes, I am very happy go-lucky. I try to make the best out of every situation. But I'm not very spontaneous. I tend to plan things.
- Do you consider yourself tolerant of others?: To a degree
- Do you have any secrets: Doesn't everyone?
- Do you hate yourself: Of course not.
- Do you like your handwriting: Sure
- Do you have any bad habits: Overanalyzing. Oh, and biting my nails.
- What is the compliment you get from most people: That I am energetic and bubbly. Happy and charming. :)
- Can you sing: Not well.
- Do you ever pretend to be other people just to look cool: Heck no.
- Are you a loner: No, but alone time to do your own thing is nice sometimes.
- What are your priorities in life: Family, sweetheart, happiness, animals, career, and future.
- If you were another person, would you be friends with you: Sure, I am easy going.
- Are you a daredevil: Not at all. Only when crossing the street. Maybe sometimes when climbing up rocks. But not down. Down is another issue.
- Is there anything you fear or hate about yourself: I am sometimes obsessive compulsive. I also don't like how I'm a girl READ: overly emotional sometimes. And overanalyzing. Should not do that too much.
- Are you passive or agressive: It depends.
- Do you think you are emotionally strong: Not so much, I don't think. Not very good at talking about the emo.
- Do you think life has been good so far: I have been very, very lucky. Family, education, job, friends, and Bryce. :) I am thankful.
- What is the most important lesson you've learned from life: My beautiful, 25 year old cousin Amy passed away not too long ago. In conclusion, say good bye when you leave. And if you love them, tell them so. Honestly, you never know when it's the last time you'll see them. I think Heaven is lonely. So... eat your favorite dishes, be with the people you love, and do what makes you happy now. You have no control whatsoever. If it's supposed to happen, it will.
- Are you perceived wrongly: I don't think so. I believe that I've been the same ever since I was five years old. I'm loud, happy, smart, and have more energy than you do!!
Wow. That was comprehensive.
