Saturday Six
Doing the Saturday Six
1. At what age did you move out of your parents’ home (or at what age do you plan to do so)?
I have no bloody idea. When I have enough money to get myself a place to live. I don't want to rent a place though. I want to buy a house or buy some type of property. I don't know. Stop asking me hard questions!!! I have enough to worry about with finding a career. :p
2. What, in your book, makes someone truly independent?
I think that it's not just about living on your own. That's doodle crap. You can live on your own and still be a dependent person. It's actually more about the way you carry yourself, the way you are, your personality even. I have a friend who is pretty freaking damn independent, she's probably one of the most independent people I know, and yet she doesn't live on her own. For me, it's more about just attitude. Living on your own, does not make you an independent person. At least I don't think.
3. If you had to live for a full year on a deserted island without any other company at all, do you think you would be able to do it?
I think so. It would be hard, but I'm very good at being alone. I like being by myself. A year is a long time of course, but people would be surprised as to how much I talk to myself. I do it a lot and nearing the end of one year I'd definitely have really deep conversations with imaginary people on the island.
4. Take the quiz: How Independent Are You?
Surprisingly... I scored very high. Weird.
I think though that I've become more independent as time has gone by. Again, maybe not by other people's standards but for mine, definitely. I no longer rely on other people. Mainly emotionally, which has its good and bad sides. I am able to make my own decisions and almost never consult others before I do make any. Because I think that really influenced me, and I don't want that. I make my OWN decisions and I'm fine with that, even when they turn out less than okay.
5. When you have a major decision to make, on average, how many people do you talk to before making up your mind?
I used to ask everyone I was close to. Now I don't really do that. If I do, I already know what I'm going to decide and then I just kind of confirm my decision by asking a few people what they think.
6. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being most important, how important would you rate the approval of those closest to you?
7, It's nice, but I don't think it's essential. Plus, don't I love being a rebel?
Then again, I don't really think anyone disapproves of anything I do... or maybe they do and I don't know it. Who knows.
