Questions asked by dreamingofmydestiny:
1. Are you young at heart, or an old soul?
A lot of people tell me I have an old soul, I'm not always sure what that means, but I guess it has something to do with the way I look at life and handle situations and what i value. It's just kind of a sense I suppose, and I think I'd say I agree with them :)
2. Name one physical feature you like about yourself, and one you dislike.
I've been going through a weird (but good) self esteem phase so I've been actually feeling awesome about myself lately :) I've lost like 15 pounds so that feels awesome :) I don't wanna say one that I dislike because that's just unnecessary negativity!
3. If you could pick anywhere to live the rest of your life, where would you be?
I really haven't been enough places for me to really be able to answer that question! My first thought is somewhere like Ireland or Norway or Finland but I want to spend my life seeing what there is to see :)
4. If you go back to one point in time to give advice to yourself, when would you go and what would you say?
I would go back to my freshman self and say, "Erin. Calm down, seriously, everything is going to be totally fine. Just relax a little, go out and have fun and don't worry about being 100% perfect all the time because I promise everything is going to work out." If I'd had that mindset coming into high school, I feel like a lot of my struggles could have been avoided.
5. What has been troubling you lately?
Mmmmm not sure how to answer this one... I'm struggling a little bit with myself, trying to figure out the kind of person that I am and the kind of person I want to be. Lately i've been wanting to just drop off the radar completely and only let 3 people know where I've gone.
6. Tell me about the last book you read.
I read The Cardturner by Louis Sachar. It's about a 16 year old kid who has a great uncle who plays this card game but is blind, so the kid has to play the cards for him...plus some spiritual stuff mixed in there idk it's a really good book though :)
7. Often, people will ask how your last relationship ended. I want to know how it began.
l o l wat relationship? I've only ever had 1 close encounter and I really don't remember how that started...just with us texting I guess and it kinda progressed from there!
8.Would you rather be alone doing something you enjoy, or doing something you don’t like with your best friends?
Alone doing something I enjoy, no question.
9. Is there a certain quote you live by?
"Life goes on" so simple and so cliche but i literally say it to myself at least 10 times every day and it actually gives me so much peace. i also say "bigger fish to fry" when i catch myself freaking out about stuff that doesn't matter hahah
10. Tell me about a time when you tried your hardest at something but in the end it still fell though was it hard?
I've actually found, thus far anyway, that if I truly give something my all, i can almost always accomplish whatever it is I'm striving for.
11. Are you keeping a secret from someone who needs to know the truth?
Ummm I don't think so? I mean there's stuff I need to be more upfront about but i'm not necessarily keeping a secret per say...
12. What is your passion?
My passion is life. Like there's no way for me to put this into words...I just want to live.
My questions:
1. Looking back to where you were a year ago, are you proud?
I'm so fucking proud. This time last year I wanted to die. And yet here I am. And if that's not something to be proud of I don't know what is.
2. If there’s one time in your past you could revisit and watch as a passerby, when would it be?
There's one night in particular I remember but I don't want to go into detail about that one :)

The choice to get better and keep going.

A fucking Tesla because...it's a Tesla...

Oh my goodness, I don't know! Something with lots of windows and a nice backyard and a wrap around front porch with a nice view :)
6. Think about your favorite go-to outfit. What is it?
Oh man well there's my yoga pants which are always a really really solid choice. Then there's my $6 mens flannel from Value village with my ripped jeans...basically anything with my jeans I suppose hahah
7. If there’s one thing you could wish your children to have, what would it be?
Good relationships and open communication. So important.
8. What’s the most awkward experience you’ve had in just the past week?
My co worker telling my assistant manager that I got shitfaced and then laid at prom. Only one of which is true but that was definitely a horrifying experience...
