Okay, here's the deal. It's an interviewy thing. Questions, questions,
yay! The instructions are as follows, if you want to participate.
1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions and leave the answers as comments on my LJ.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
My questions from ladycrowe :
1. If given the opportunity to make your wildest dreams come true, what would you do or have done?
Wow, one hell of a question. There are a lot of things that I'd like to do, though I don't see any of them as particularly "wild." Adventurous, perhaps. I'd really like to take a few years and travel the world. Backpack across the northern stretches of Canada one summer, then spend the fall in Egypt, head to Australia for winter (in the northern hemisphere, anyway. Summertime in the southern. :D ) Take a tour of Tokyo, and take a great walk on China's Great Wall. Of course, there's a lot of other things and places on the list, but you get the point.
2. You mentioned recently that you've been really content with life. What is it that is currently making you so happy?
Why am I so happy? Well, I'm happy because I decided I liked it better than feeling bad. It started after coming out of a rather dark cloud of anger and finding my eyes opened once again to happiness and the potential of love. Along with my eyes, my mind opened up and I began to see some of the little things that I hadn't been able to before. A new appreciation of life and the world came to me, and I've been reveling in it ever since.
I don't think there is even an adequate explanation for it. I guess I just fell in love with life and I'm basking in my mortality.
3. Is there anything you regret doing in your life? Something you would change for the better? Or would you keep the experience as an important life lesson?
I do have a couple regrets, both of which involve my throwing away love. I was ignorant of some of the most important things in life then, and though I don't claim not to be ignorant now, I know that I have learned some vital lessons because of those mistakes I made. I do not wish to change the decisions I made, but I also know that if I were to go back and relive those moments, I would not make those same choices again.
4. What do you think the most important aspect of a relationship is? Whether it be in a friendship or life long partner.
For me, the most important aspect of a relationship is respect. Respect forms the basic building block of all the rest of the necessities of a relationship. Love, understanding, compassion, and trust are near impossible without a strong foundation of respect, and I harbor none of them for anyone who I cannot trust..
5. Is there anyone out there you feel a special connection with? Someone who you instinctively know you will know for the rest of your life or who brings you just that much closer to feeling whole?
Yes.
