What experiences in life helped you grow the most?
… was asked for the first time in my life who I was … & couldn’t answer … because I didn’t know. Radio silence. Crickets. I was then about the business of discovering/finding myself. Things unfolded/bloomed slowly, steadily & quite nicely! It took years. I’d never been so focused on myself nor have I ever been so in touch with ‘me’. Much has changed in the meantime. So much growth has taken place. Well rounded indeed.
Do you believe in fate/destiny?
Destiny? Situationally.
Do you enjoy your job?
The conclusion of the matter, everything having been heard, is: fear the true God and keep his commandments. For this is the whole obligation of man. Ecclesiastes 12:13
Describe the most ambitious DIY project you’ve ever taken on.
I can show you better than I can tell you.
Describe a phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to.
I was hanging on for dear life to a world that only existed in my mind. Once the notion of it actually not existing took root & started to grow, the real life began to fill in. Like dying & coming alive at the same time. It didn’t take long at all before I’d said goodbye to my entire (non existent) life & was building anew. It is, unrecognizably, so far behind me. I’ll never be there again.
If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why?
… why would I ???
If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?
It’s troubling.
What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months?
… be & remain.
What advice would you give to your teenage self?
It’s nice to see you! Have you eaten? Are you thirsty? Have a seat, I want to share some very important things with you & it’s crucial to your wellbeing that you pay close attention to & never abandon these words, ok? You have a beautiful spirit & your feelings/emotions will always matters here. Out there in the world there will be all kinds of people that will be uncomfortable with you just being you. Sometimes there may be an explanation for this & sometimes not. Be you anyway. Never allow what’s going on on the outside disrupt what is going on on the inside of you. Your heart nor your mind. At the most inopportune times you will be afraid , it is then that you must also be brave. That’s the only option. You can chose family from amongst others when your biological one fails. If you are ever faced with a tough situation that requires closure, it is your responsibility toward yourself to provide closure. You shut it down. You will never need another’s permission to care for yourself, it is solely your responsibility. You will be just fine (offering a smile & soft caress). Always have goals hobbies & a good sense of self. Nourish them. Care for & love yourself & do not ever settle for less. If you ever need me I’ll be right here/come running. (kiss on the forehead). Love you girl ❤️ See you later!
What bores you?
… that knows NOWHERE NEAR what they THINK they know. When the GAP is OUTRAGEOUS! The CLUELESS trying to convince me of nonsense will send my blood pressure OUT OF SPACE. I am unable to cope with it.
