The other day I finally made a 101 in 1001 list! Go check it out
here.
So now I'm at 1/101!
1.
How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?
Probably 16ish
2.
Which is worse, failing or never trying?
In the moment, it can feel like failing, but in the long run never trying is always worse.
3.
If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do?
To impress people we don’t like.
4.
When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
It’s about even actually.
5.
What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world?
There are so many people in so much pain and it’s absolutely horrible
6.
If happiness was the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich?
Teaching dance to 7-15 year olds
7.
Are you doing what you believe in, or are you settling for what you are doing?
Right now, I’m doing what I believe in. In a few years, it really won’t be possible.
8.
If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently?
I really wouldn’t. I would be feel I accomplished everything I would have wanted to even if I died tomorrow.
9.
To what degree have you actually controlled the course your life has taken?
I haven’t much, but I really can’t at this age. I’m the independent variable. Not the dependent.
10.
Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things?
Doing the right things, for sure.
11.
You’re having lunch with three people you respect and admire. They all start criticizing a close friend of yours, not knowing she is your friend. The criticism is distasteful and unjustified. What do you do?
I would point out all the positive attributes said friend possesses and defend her/him/
12.
If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be?
Be careful who you put your full blown trust in because they will take it and run. (this is assuming said newborn could understand what I was saying to them)

Yes. Unless it severely hurt someone else

No, usually it’s the other way around haha
15.
What’s something you know you do differently than most people?
My social life isn’t something extremely important to me anymore
16.
How come the things that make you happy don’t make everyone happy?
Different people enjoy different things. Just because I enjoy dancing doesn’t mean everyone does or needs to. I’m sure there are even other people who’re upset with it. Maybe they think it’s a waste of time.
17.
What one thing have you not done that you really want to do? What’s holding you back?
Ask my best friend out. I don’t have time for a relationship & if things turned sour I would no longer have a best friend.
18.
Are you holding onto something you need to let go of?
Nope.
19.

Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend?
Yes, it’s something I subconsciously do.
24.
Which is worse, when a good friend moves away, or losing touch with a good friend who lives right near you?
Losing touch. This is assuming you still talk to the good friend who moves away. Obviously, unless both parties are trying ridiculously hard, you will lose touch eventually still.

What are you most grateful for?
I don’t have a lot of friends, but those I have care a lot
