Trying to get back... - questions 1 & 2
So hard to update, as usual. One of my goals this year is to do 50 Questions that will free your mind. Just because.
1. How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?
If I didn't know I was 22 and a half, I would probably think that I was about 26. Not too far off from my age, but there is quite a difference. 22 is too close to 21 and implies immaturity, wildness, and etc.
Meanwhile, I've been moved out of my parents' house since I was 20. I pay my own bills (excepting my cell phone, because it's cheaper to stay on my parents' plan anyway), put gas in my car, go to work, and pay off loans. I save for the future, clean my house, and do my dishes. There's a certain attitude about me that makes everyone at work think I'm 25 or 26 anyway.
Then there's also the fact that I'm done with trying to "find the right one." The one I have now, I love, and I'm pretty sure he's right and quite happy about it. I don't want to look elsewhere- there is less fun in the shopping for me and more fun in the purchase, if you know what I mean. Plus, let's face it... I want to have babies. Really badly. Like rightnaow. I want to go get my master's and then get pregnant 3 months or so from the end. I just can't wait.
2. Which is worse- failing or never trying?
Never trying is much worse than failing, because the former is able to be controlled more easily, unlike the latter. It's easy to try something. Unless it's mountain-climbing or something of the like, trying something requires little commitment. Costs are normally low. Risk is usually low. And even if they're not, the benefit of getting something out of the experience is worth it.
For instance, trying to continue a relationship's progress by moving in with them is difficult. Yet the alternative, of not trying to continue it, will stagnate the relationship. It will have no further direction to progress in and will ultimately fail. Not trying almost certainly leads to failure. Meanwhile, trying something only sometimes leads to failure, and even then there is something to be gained from it experience-wise.
