Questions:
1) If you could travel to anywhere in the world where would you go?
I'd travel it all. Forever. I wouldn't ever stop. I'd live in a different country, pack up and move whenever I wanted to. Why can't I? Isn't the great affair to move and experience all the beauty the world has to offer? Since they are all signs of God and His Greatness, shouldn't we make efforts to take it all in?
I think I could spend my entire life, just roving and living off the land, making connections and finding beauty everywhere, but never staying anywhere long enough to be restless.
2) How will you know if you have lived a full life?
I don't think we can ever do all of the things we want to. Everyday I find new things I want to do. To be. To try. I am so flightful and so full of ideas and dreams. But I'd like to hope I could do enough that by the end of it all, I will be happy. Or happier. I'd like to think.
I also think a family and children come into that. To be able to sit back and admire beings I helped create and bring into living. Watching them live and love alone, would be a life fairly well lived i think.
3) If you were in charge of the world for a day, and could successfully implement one change, what would you change, and what would you change it to?
I don't think I'd ever want to be in charge of the world. Or anything remotely responsible. But I'd rid the world of weaponry. First and foremost. I'd erase all war from ever having occurred and ever going to. I'd kill all sorts of prejudice. I'd also turn the tables and make vulnerability a strength over appearing strong globally. So that our weaknesses would be celebrated. Not hidden away.
4) Most embarrassing moment?
Oh I have so many, you have no idea. But I fell into the river at Hyde Park when I was younger. I tried to feed the ducks even after my mum warned me not to and in I went ^_^ To this day the story is told at family gatherings.
5) If you can get what you get in a relationship, without being in a relationship, do relationships and titles still hold any merit?
Yes. I'd want to know they were mine. And only mine. I'd want to know they were fully all in, 100% committed and invested in the relationship. I'd want him and the world and everything in it to know that he was closer to me than all else. By name, by spirit, by proximity. I'd want it all. The whole nine yards.
6) If you could go back in time, right this second, would it be to a who or to a where?
To a when.
7) If you asked your close/best friend to name your three best features, what would they be?
Humility.
Intelligence.
How aware I am of everything.
Or at least I'd like to think that's what they'd say.
8) Do you plan on having kids? If so how many and any particular order / ratio?
I love kids. At least four. Two of each or 3 girls and a boy.
9) Favourite catchphrase and favourite writer?
oh god, i'll say Khaled Hosseini for now.
10) How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?
Probably 20. Or early twenties. In many ways I have the spirit of an old woman but in even more, I am still finding my feet. Discovering my fight, confidence and strength to step out of myself and how small I have always been. To try new things. Sometimes, I feel like a teen with all the things I am discovering about myself.
Its a strange feeling when you spend much of your life afraid of yourself and your being. You grow internally, in thought and maturity by watching and observing. But actually going out and doing things? You feel like a child, always tentative and timid.
11) Would you find it more difficult to look into someone’s eyes as you tell them how you feel about them, or as they tell you how they feel about you?
telling them how i'd feel. since i've had people tell me how they feel about me and survived to tell the tale but i've never, in all my years, told anyone how i feel about them. (with complete honesty) i've always been the type to hide me feelings, more out of fear of rejection than anything else. i think i'd die. the thought that they may not feel the same alone would be enough to kill me in that spot.
