How do significant life events or the passage of time influence your perspective on life?

I feel like life is constantly reminding me that I need to live it. None of us get out alive, and we don’t die with our diplomas and trophies… none of that material sh*t matters. Love is what matters. True connection is what matters. Empathy and curiously are what matters. Life continues to remind me to look to love and kindness, because although we may not all have the same struggles, we do all have our own struggles.

What’s your favorite thing to cook?

I am not a lover a cooking at this current phase in my life, but I can make some basic meals. I’d say my favorite thing to cook is an omelette, mainly because that is actually something I recently learned how to do successfully. Breakfast is definitely one of my favorite meals to cook, and sometimes I make my grandma’s recipe for homemade pancakes!

Write about your first name: its meaning, significance, etymology, etc.

Refer to my last post as to why I haven’t answered this question as well. I feel like my name isn’t very common so it’s easy to find me. And again, not important enough to want to be found, but this is just how my brain operates LOL

Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting.

This right here will show you how paranoid I am. I refuse to actually answer this prompt because I don’t want anyone to figure out or know where I live LOL. Like I had an answer and I’m like anyone could google and figure out a close proximity to where I am. I’m not even known or important enough for anyone to want to do that, but this is how my brain operates.

I only answered it because I haven’t been getting any new prompts and I’m theorizing it’s because I haven’t answered a few, but also it could be just because it’s the end of the month!

Write about a few of your favorite family traditions.

Is it weird that I’ve avoided this post because it kinda makes me sad. I feel like there weren’t a lot of family traditions growing up in my family. Like we celebrated the holidays and I know for Christmas I could always open one gift on Christmas Eve, and I remember having Easter egg/basket hunts at my grandparents house, but other than that nothing comes to mind.

One tradition we currently have is getting together with our family to do a white elephant exchange every January as our late Christmas celebration! I do enjoy doing that, however this was likely the last year for the gift exchange, but we are still planning to all get together. Idk if we count a family girls trip every year as a tradition, but it has been happening for a few years now so I guess it is one!

Okay so I guess this prompt wasn’t that sad- and the good news is we can always make new traditions!

What books do you want to read?

I have a few books in my Amazon wishlist, but I actually just finished Verity by Colleen Hoover yesterday and now I’m very interested in reading more of her work. A lot of the ones on my list are self-improvement books, and I do still want to read those, but I am also not trying to make myself this never-ending project. Adding in some suspenseful fiction was fun, and I plan to do more of that!

What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time?

Honestly I love having conversations with good friends. Whether we Facetime or we go grab a coffee or go for a walk, I love catching up and just sharing our experiences about life and learning from one another.

Considering I also thrive in isolation, I love to make picture collages/vision boards and I love to write. I also enjoy watching trashy reality TV shows LOL!

List five things you do for fun.

• writing (journaling or poetry)
• picture collages / vision boards
• listen to podcasts
• dance/sing along to music
• facetime or grab coffee with friends

If you could make your pet understand one thing, what would it be?

I just want my cats to understand that eating plastic is not good for them, nor is it acceptable behavior LOL.

But also I’d love if they could understand why we leave for so long during the day and that we do love them so much.

What’s your dream job?

I’d love to be a podcaster and an author. I’d talk about my own personal healing journey and life experiences, but I’d also give others a platform to be able to do the same thing. I’d love to share stories that allow others to let go of any judgment or shame they have, and allow them to step into their favorite version of themselves.

It would be incredible to be able to make a living off of a creative outlet, and even more incredible to be spreading love and light to the world. I know that this dream career would likely lead into needing to do public speaking (like in front of an audience, rather than just a microphone and a laptop), so that would definitely be a comfort zone I’d have to jump out of.
