  2. Which is worse, failing or never trying? Never trying. Doubtlessly
  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? We've been told that in order to be an adult you have to go through steps 1, 2, 56478979.  after that we're allowed to be happy. 
  4. When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done? of course.  and anyone who says other wise will have been lying. sorry bout it

  7. Are you doing what you believe in, or are you settling for what you are doing? settling.... for the moment.  as soon as i can get back on my feet though, nothing is going to stop me.
  8. If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently? I would probably be a lot less afraid to fail and do more trying. I would spend a significantly smaller portion of my life thinking and a significantly greater part of my life doing things. <-- stolen from g

  10. Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things? Both.  at the same time
  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 call them out if it's vicious. as much as i admire anyone, we're not perfect and need a reminder every once in a while that everyone has feelings
  12. If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be? be inquistive, don't be afraid to get burnt once or twice, but don't make the same mistake more than three times.

  14. Have you ever seen insanity where you later saw creativity? whenever there is one there is the other.
  15. What’s something you know you do differently than most people? Think
  16. How come the things that make you happy don’t make everyone happy?  because i think differently.  and i'm more than happy with it.
  17. What one thing have you not done that you really want to do? What’s holding you back? too many things
  18. Are you holding onto something you need to let go of? of course, sadly. 
  19. If you had to move to a state or country besides the one you currently live in, where would you move and why?  Spain. hands down
  20. Do you push the elevator button more than once? sometimes
  21. Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton? worried genius, I take pride in knowing things, because it's what i've got... it's gotten to where i am and will get me to where I'm going to be.
  22. Why are you, you?  Because no one else can be me :)
  23. Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend? Yes, and if I haven't been, I've made it right (stolen from gill)
  24. Which is worse, when a good friend moves away, or losing touch with a good friend who lives right near you? Losing touch with a good friend who lives right there. I've had both happen, and the former may be more difficult, but the latter is just plain sad. <--samesies (x3) 
  25. What are you most grateful for? My family. And my education.
  26. Would you rather lose all of your old memories, or never be able to make new ones? i would stop being myself, so i can't answer this question

  31. At what time in your recent past have you felt most passionate and alive?  that's a little too personal for a blog.
  32. If not now, then when? When it needs to happen
  33. If you haven’t achieved it yet, what do you have to lose?  what you have, the feeling of comfort that at least you're alive, making it through the day.
  34. Have you ever been with someone, said nothing, and walked away feeling like you just had the best conversation ever?  yeah. 
  35. Why do religions that support love cause so many wars?  It's not so  cut and dry.  Sometimes things that you love have to be fought for.  I wish there were other ways of fighting, and that people would use words more than guns, but that's the unfortunate truth of life. 
  36. Is it possible to know, without a doubt, what is good and what is evil? NO
  37. If you just won a million dollars, would  you quit your job? not if it's a job i care about and want to be doing. 
  38. Would you rather have less work to do, or more work you actually enjoy doing? More work without a doubt

  43. What is the difference between being alive and truly living? Perspectives, gratitude and a want/desire 
  44. When is it time to stop calculating risk and rewards, and just go ahead and do what you know is right? When you know what is right...
  45. If we learn from our mistakes, why are we always so afraid to make a mistake? Becuase we don't know what will happen if we do... and there's also a bit of the need to be perfect that has been socially ground into us. 
  46. What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you? nothing. because as much as people judge now, I've learned to not care about them and "do me"
  47. When was the last time you noticed the sound of your own breathing? quite frequently actually, i'm a little self concious about it
  48. What do you love? Have any of your recent actions openly expressed this love? life. being alive and the people i'm close to.  i can only hope so
  49. In 5 years from now, will you remember what you did yesterday? What about the day before that? Or the day before that? no... yesterday was boring
  50. Decisions are being made right now. The question is: Are you making them for yourself, or are you letting others make them for you? I make my own decisions, but not without influences
