I'm snowed in...

1. What is more difficult for you, looking into someones eyes when you are telling someone how you feel, or looking into someones eyes when they are telling you how they feel?

This is tough but I'm going to have to say looking into someones eyes when I am telling them how I feel. Eye contact, in general, makes me uncomfortable for some reason.

2. Think of the last time you were REALLY angry. WHY were you angry? Do you still feel the same way?

The last time I was angry was Thursday night when the news came on after How To Get Away With Murder. It was going to be super cold the next morning and all the school districts nearby had been closed that entire week. I was angry with myself for not going for a district teaching job and not having my license. I didn't go for a teaching job because I didn't have my license. I just made a stupid decision and I was truly angry at myself for it. I am not angry, just determined to to not make the same mistake twice.

3. You are on a flight from Honolulu to Chicago non-stop. There is a fire in the back of the plane. You have enough time to make ONE phone call. Who do you call? What do you tell them?

I don't like this question. I would call my mom and tell her I love her. 

4. You are at the doctor's office and he has just informed you that you have approximately one month to live. Do you tell anyone/everyone you are going to die? What do you do with your remaining days? Would you be afraid?

Ummm at first I would've opted for not telling anyone, but I think the time would be more appreciated if we all knew it was limited. 

5. You can have one of the following two things. Which do you choose? Why? Love and Trust.

I choose trust. I want to believe that if love is present, trust is also present. Experiences of those around me have shown otherwise. If I'm going to be vulnerable, I want to trust that it's something that's safe to do with whoever I'm dealing with. 

6. You are walking down the street on your way to work. There is a dog drowning in the canal on the side of the street. Your boss has told you if you are late even once more, you are fired. Do you take the time to save the dogs life? Why or Why not?

Yes, I'd save the dogs life. I have a heart. I have bills too, but if I'm working for someone who would want me to let a dog die than maybe I don't want to work there. That's tough. :( 

7. Would you rather be hurt by the one you trust the most or the one you love the most?

I'd rather be hurt by the one I love the most. 

8. Your best friend confesses that he/she has feelings for you more than just friendship. He/she is falling in love with you. What do you (or did you) do/say?

I would ask questions. For how long, are you sure, did I lead you on? If I am not interested in pursuing a romantic relationship with this friend, I would say that. I would say that maybe we should take some time. It's the last thing either of us would want but it's what would be most helpful. Kind of hard to get over somebody you talk to all the time. Possible, but it's the hard way. 

9. Think of the last person who you know that died. You have the chance to give them 1 hour of life back, but you have to give up one year of yours. Do you do it? Why or Why not?

No. The last person I knew that died, lived 80+ years. I'm only 22 soooooo...

10. Are you the kind of friend that you would want to have as a friend?

In most respects, yes. 

11. Does love = sex? 

Hell no. Love falsely equating to sex is how you end up in situations.

12.Your boss tells your coworker that they have to let them go because of work shortage, and they are the newest employee. You have been there much longer. Your coworker has a family to support and no other means of income. Do you go to your boss and offer to leave the company? Why or Why not?

Unfortunately, I'd have to say no. The compassionate person in me really wants to say yes, however, I have things that I need to take care of too. I can't help you if I'm screwed. We all have responsibilities and having kids could get this employee hella government benefits. 

13.When was the last time you told someone HONESTLY how you felt regardless of how difficult it was for you to say? Who was it? What did you have to tell the person?

I told myself I was angry with myself. Finally admitting to my poor decision making. 

14. What would be (or what was) harder for you to tell a member of the opposite sex, you love them or that you do not love them back?

It would be harder if the love wasn't reciprocal. To know that I am breaking someone's heart would be difficult to accept. 

15. What do you think would be the hardest thing for you to give up? Why would it be hard to lose?

I think giving up my integrity would be hard. I'm not exactly the perfect person, but the good outweighs the bad. People who lack integrity are the slimiest of people. That's not what I want to be.

16. Excluding romantic love, when was the last time you told someone you loved them. Who were they to you?

I was recently drunk so I probably told my best friends I love them haha

17. If there was one moment and one time in the last month what would you change and why?

I would change the time we went to the movies to see Fifty Shades of Grey for the second time. We would've gotten the idea an hour earlier and made it on time lmao

18.Imagine it is a dark night, you are alone, it is raining outside, you hear someone walking around outside your window. WHO do you wish was there with you?

My roommate/best friend! She's a tough little thing!

19. Would you give a homeless person CPR if they were dying? Why or Why not?

Yes, because I'm CPR certified and who would just let someone die?? My only hesitation would be if dying would provide them more peace than they had in life....but who am I to make such a decision?

21.You are holding onto your grandmother's hand and the hand of a newborn that you do not know as they hang over the edge of a cliff. You have to let one go to save the other. Who do you let fall to their death? What was your rationale for making the decision?

I hate this question. I would choose my grandma. Yes she's older. But being responsible for my grandma's death is not something I could handle. I have my whole family to consider in this. I don't know this baby. Yes this baby has a full life ahead of it, but my love for my family would override that baby's life. 

22. Are you old fashioned?

I prefer traditional. 

23. When was the last time you were nice to someone and did NOT expect anything in return for it?

I don't ever expect anything in return for doing something nice. I wouldn't call myself nice, anymore, but when I am nice its because I want to be. I don't do it to be recognized or to get anything from it. 

24.Which would you choose, true love with a guarantee of a broken heart, or never loved at all? Why?

True love with a guarantee of a broken heart. What's life without the risks? Not taking chances is boring... I'm learning

25.If you could do anything or wish anything, what would it be?

I would wish for a dependable car. I'll have one by July at the latest, though :)

We captured the moments! 

When people say that they can make it in this world alone, I think they're lying. I think about the things my people have gotten me through and there's no way I could've done it without them. I met my friends during different stages of my life, but that doesn't stop them from being friends with me or each other. 

Each friendship is different but we all work together to take care of each other. I cherish friendship, even ones that aren't my own. When I see a group of friends, genuine friends, it makes me happy. I think about what I have with my friends and I think it's sad when people don't have it. 

I look forward to every visit, every meeting, and every encounter. A ten minute visit, turns into a sleepover, one question turns into a discussion, family breakfasts turns into a community nap, and a simple hello turned into an undying love and eternal laughter. I wouldn't trade mine for the world.

Friendship, like any other type of relationship, requires compromise. .Sometimes you have to adjust yourself to improve your relationship. It's give and take. 

Some people don't think it's necessary to compromise with your friends... Why not? When your friends come to you and express an issue that they have and you don't want to do anything to fix it, you're hurting yourself. My friends continue to help me grow into the person I am destined to be. Not all of my growth is tied to my friends, but a lot of it is. 

I admire my friends and I admire their growth and it inspires me to follow suit. Going back to the "Energy" post, I take what my friends send out. I am surrounded by some of the best people you could ever know. Why wouldn't I want to absorb that?

With that being said, I struggle to let go of friendships that no longer benefit me. I don't take joy in doing all the work but because of things that may have been done for me or something of the sort, I feel obligated to continue the friendship. That's unhealthy and I quit. Friendship is a two way street, which means there's room for both people on the road. I shouldn't be the only one in a car. 

To my friends who are reading this: I love you very much and I appreciate who and what you are to me. I can only hope I'm as good a friend as you *besos*
