If you're still doing these things, I have infinite curiousity so I would like to inquire about letters I, Q, V, and W?
I: If you liked someone with a terminal illness, would you still date them knowing they might not live much longer?
A lot would depend on what they wanted. Someone with a terminal illness may not want to get close to someone, knowing they will cause that person pain. I certainly wouldn’t leave their life, though. And if we both felt our connection was too much to ignore, then yeah, why not? I could get hit by a bus before their illness takes them, or they could beat the odds.
Q: Do you prefer peace and quiet, or loud chaos?
Probably something in the middle. I can’t always handle too much noise, but I almost always hate dead quiet. I need some background noise, at the very least.
V: Do you ever want children?
I came to peace with the likelihood that I won’t have children a very long time ago (for lots of reasons). I’m not opposed to them, so if I end up with a partner who wants them (or possibly has some), I’d be thrilled to be a mom. But I’m also really okay with being Aunt Katie to my sister’s kids and any close friends’ kids.
W: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
To be honest, I’m super happy right here where I am now in southeast PA. I’d be content to never leave the general area where I’ve grown up. I’d love to be able to have a property in the Adirondack Mountains, though, and I would love to visit almost anywhere on the planet, too.
