jasmine: describe your dream partner or best friend. what kind of personality traits do they have?
the ability to communicate and empathy are two very important things to me (in a partner, friend, family member, any kind of relationship really!). i've always been a very sensitive and emotional person, and i grew up in an environment that made me feel 'guilty' about it. it was not a space where i could openly express how i was feeling and that led to a lot of problems that i'm still learning how to deal with today. so, for my own well being, i like to surround myself with people with those personality traits.
