B. What is your first thought when you receive a message on Tumblr, are you excited for the idea of someone from potentially the other side of the world wanting to talk to you or fearful that someone will criticize you?: frankly i have really bad anxiety so when i get messages and its not obviously a conversation with someone i know well, im always aafraid that its someone calling me out on something. i dont mind being called out if i did something problematic bc obviously i would try to fix it, but it makes me anxious nonetheless. however, i love getting messages from people and i love to talk so hmu at any time!
L. The Beatles or The Rolling Stones?: I'm not really a big fan of either, but that exactly line is in the song "Gimme Sympathy" by Metric, and I love that song, so i'm gonna go with Metric
Q. Would you rather be dirt poor and emotionally fulfilled in life or be rich beyond imagination and emotionally dissatisfied for life?: This is a hard question to answer. I care a lot more about being emotionally fulfilled than about money, but in this (evil capitalist) society, money matters a lot. being dirt poor often means health issues i can't afford to treat, children growing up without good food/toys/support bc i have to work a lot, and a whole other slew of shit that no one should have to deal with. if i have to give up my health, opportunities, safety, etc, am i really emotionally satisfied? if so, then yeah sure i'd rather be emotionally satisfied. i probably wouldn't be with anyone or have kids though, because knowing i've made the choice to be happy and poor, i wouldn't want to impose that on anyone else. but if being poor has such an effect on my life that my emotional satification is nulled by my poverty, than wouldn't they be the same? in that case, i'd rather be rich bc there's a lot i could do with money (charities and stuff) to make other people's lives better, and that would make me happy
Thanks for the ask, i love answering these! sorry if i overthought it
