Know-Thyself: Day Five
I feel like I'm finally starting to reconnect with myself at this point, or maybe just realizing that I'm already connected. Either way, any newcomers can try it themselves here
What is the biggest lie you tell yourself?
"Well I'll come out but I'm only gonna have one or two..."
What do you think is missing in your life?
I'd like to have someone to talk to about real life things. But I do have to say after hanging out with Pam and Mario last night I feel like there are more people in this area I can really talk to. So it's getting better :)
What do you think is the biggest injustice that was ever done to you?
I only have myself to blame for injustices that I allow to happen
What type of person angers you the most?
People who remind me of myself, honestly. I don't mean for that to sound self-hating, but you can't love or hate anything that doesn't directly reflect a piece of yourself. Normally I would say "people who don't know how to listen" but the more I interact with people like this the more I realize I need to have compassion for them instead.
Who never fails to make you feel good about yourself?
A&E's "Intervention" characters. When I feel like I fucked up big time I just turn that on, get a big ol bag of chips and say "at least I'm not a crackhead". I know, it's the little things..
If you could start all over again, what would you want to study?
This is a trap question for me. I'm about to finally be a sophomore so I'm not even entertaining the thought of starting over again!!!!!
Which type of intelligence do you wish you had: kinetic, visual, interpersonal, linguistic or mathematical?
I'm happy with my linguistic intelligence, I'm a total lexophile. I'm not a kinetic (isn't it kinesthetic?) person because my hands are really clumsy. I'm pretty decent with interpersonal as far as sensing other people's emotions, but I rarely know how to react to them. I've always thought I was a mathematical thinker too, I'd call mathematical and linguistic my two strongest intelligences.
What is your biggest pet peeve?
Repeating myself. I get it from my mother, we both instinctually have to ask "what?" after being asked a question even if we know we heard it the first time. It irks the shit out of me but I'm trying to get myself to realize when I'm doing it..
What was the one opportunity you always believed you’ve missed out on?
I wish I would've told Joshua how I really feel about him years ago. I remember sitting in his car after a night at Eat N Park (our favorite place for midnight coffee) just wanting to say it, but I couldn't do it for some reason. How different things would be today, but it's just another lesson.
What do you like about yourself the most?
I think I stay pretty flexible with my life. I try not to dwell and I look for the positive in everything. I believe there's hope for everything, but sometimes I forget to look for it.
