Remember that if you relapse it’s not the end of the world, it doesn’t change what you have accomplished. But I think you’ll make it, you’re strong :) <3

Why aren’t the authorities doing anything about this?

What’s your favorite book, and why?

Eragon has been one of my favorites for a long time. I love Paolini's take on dragon-lore. I also really enjoy his style of character development. 

If you were to describe yourself as a color, which would it be, and why?

Probably a deep blue. Deep and dark, but still comforting.

What three things central to you being you do few people know about? And why are you hiding these things?

Umm... I don't know. =\ These things aren't really central to who I am, but very few people know much about my past or my struggle with eating and self harm. I don't hide them, but it doesn't seem important for everyone to know. 

If you were to pick a song which describes your current life situation best (and how you feel about it), which would it be?

Hmm... probably Stubborn Love by the Lumineers. 

If you could meet anyone in the world, alive or dead, real or fiction, who would it be, and why?

Right now I'm not really in the mood to meet anyone. If I remember I'll come back to this one when I'm feeling better. 

The year is 1919 and across you at the bus sits 30 year old Adolf Hitler, knowing what you know now, what would you do about the situation?

Probably nothing... What he did was horrible, and the consequences of is actions were severe, but it is a significant point in our history. I don't think it should be messed with. 

A magical genie appears and gives one wish, you can wish for anything except more wishes, what do you wish for?

Lots and lots of money. I could buy my horse and travel and help people in need. 

Tell about one thing you’re truly ashamed of?

Everything I've put my husband through. =\

Tell about one thing you’re truly proud of?

The work I've done in recovery. =) 

What do you wish to achieve in life?

I want to be a pediatric physical therapist. I want to make a difference in the lives of children.

What elements are important for you to have a good day?

My questions: 

What book did you last read? Briefly tell about it without spoiling the plot.

The last book I read was for school, it's called Jane Eyre. I don't remember much about the plot other than I liked it. I haven't read anything other than a textbook in two years... =(

If you could have anything in the world right now, what would it be?

The horse I leased last year, Doc. He would need to come with enough money for a lifetime of upkeep, though.

Democratic or Republican, and why?

Republican. Mostly because I don't feel the government should be super involved in our lives, but also partially because I tend to be more conservative than liberal.

What do you usually do when you cannot sleep at night?

Watch movies or TV. I have a difficult time interpreting what I'm hearing, especially if I'm unfamiliar with the person speaking, so movies take a fair amount of my concentration. If I watch a lighthearted, familiar show it takes just enough brain power to keep my thoughts from racing, but not enough to keep me from falling asleep.

What lyrics would most accurately describe how you are feeling right now?

Uncertainty is killing me  And I’m certainly not asleep  Maybe I’ve gone far to deep  Maybe I’m just far to weak  Ands that’s the last place  I want to be the last place  And there is so much we don’t know  So we love and we hope that it holds  Thousands were lost maybe more  The question remains, what is this for?  Maybe it came unexpected  Maybe I’m left unprotected  And that’s the last place  I want to be the last place  And there is so much we don’t know  So we love and we hope that it holds  And either we say or we show  So I’m going to fight for my own  I’m holding on until the last  I’m holding on until there’s nothing left  I’m holding on until the last  I’m holding on until there’s nothing left

Uncertainty by The Fray

You’ve just won an unrealistically high amount of money. What do you do?

Either buy a horse or pay off my student loans. Or both, if it's enough money. I would invest/save whatever was left after that. 

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Finishing school, getting a job as a pediatric PT, starting a family of my own. 

What are you most ashamed of (so far) in your life?

I don't really want to share this information... I hope my biggest regret(s) will follow me to my grave.

What are you most proud of (so far) in your life?

Managing not to flunk out of college even after only earning ~10 credits out of 33 attempted credits my whole freshman year. 

Name your three biggest pet peeves?

I always have a hard time thinking of them unless they're happening at the moment... Umm, people (other than my husband) touching my sides, people who leave their cigarette butts on the ground, and people messing with things that don't belong to them. 

What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world?
