Questions 11-20

Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton? I am a worried genius and sometimes it’s quite stressful. Perhaps I’d like to try being a joyful simpleton for a bit.
Why are you, you? Uh Momma met my dad in church…the fell in love and got married..then poof you have me. As for my neuroses, sarcasm, and absolute insanity…I blame this guy.
Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend? I believe so. Sometimes to a fault. I treat others as I would want to be treated but I guess they don’t want to be treated so nicely sometimes.
Which is worse, when a good friend moves away, or losing touch with a good friend who lives right near you? I am really good at long-distance friendship if I do say so myself. It’s gut wrenching to lose contact with nearby friends whom I could see but don’t, for whatever reason.
What are you most grateful for? My life…in many ways. I shouldn’t have lived past 25 years old with my severe Bipolar Symptoms and have been hospitalized for major medical crisis. Most of all my life isn’t mine…I’m grateful for the life Jesus gave to me by dying on the cross. (Romans 6:23)
Would you rather lose all of your old memories, or never be able to make new ones? I’m slowly loosing old memories but constantly making new ones. Looking at old pictures, I forget where I was or when I was. Making new memories is a day-by-day, minute-by-minute experience. I’d be sad if I couldn’t remember the things happening ten minutes or ten years from now.
Is it possible to know the truth without challenging it first? I believe truth is found in questions. Even with things I believe to be absolutes I enjoy the freedom to ask questions and challenge them. I’ve always known Momma loves me but I challenged it a lot as a teen. The answer didn’t change but I’m grateful I had the ability to challenge it.
Has your greatest fear ever come true? No. I used to think my biggest fear was failure, but failures happen daily. Instead I realized my biggest fear is my health being the focus of my life instead of a part of it. The idea of spending my days only focused on bipolar disorder, back problems, allergies and many other problems instead of living terrifies me.
Do you remember that time 5 years ago when you were extremely upset? Does it really matter now? Yes. Dealing with a death in the family is never fun and still is hard to remember although I handle the emotions better now.
What is your happiest childhood memory? What makes it so special? I spent much of my childhood in Germany. My favorite thing was Spaghetti Eis treats with Momma and my brother when we did well in school or for a fun day exploring the city. If you want a specific memory…walking my first 5K with Momma in rural Germany. We got a candy dish as a prize.
