Personal Concepts
1. What is beauty? What is love?
Beauty is something pleasing, special, awe inspiring, or wonderful to behold in either the physical world, the mind, or the spirit. It transcends the ordinary. It can even seem rare, in some ways. However, beauty can be found in lots of places. There's beauty in architecture, in a field of flowers, in a painting in a museum, & in a good conversation with your best friend.
Love is something that should be unconditional. It's excepting what someone else feels or doesn't feel, what they think or don't think, & letting them be themselves, even if you get into disagreements. It's being there through the hard times & having their back. It's the feeling of hope & encouragement for someone else. It's being there to try to comfort, cheer them up, or provide a listening ear. It's not judging someone, understanding & appreciating how unique they are, & not trying to change them. It should bring out the best in others.
2. What are your most important values?
Not judging or harming other people in any way, volunteering your time & resources to people in need, not controlling others & letting people live the way they want, having the freedom to make up your own mind & doing what you want in life, & seeking justice for people.
3. Do you have any sort of spiritual/religious beliefs, and why do you hold (or don't) those beliefs in the first place?
I definitely believe in God. I'd call myself a Christian, but I don't follow church teachings too closely, except trying to treat other people nice. I don't like the idea of church that much. I love learning about a lot of different religions, though. I've even been interested in past life theory. I believe in God, because it gives me something to look forward to, with the idea of an after life, & makes me feel like I'm never alone, & there's always someone there to listen no matter what. I'm not very religious, but I think I'm very spiritual.
4. Opinion on war and militaries? What is power to you?
I wish neither war or militaries even had to exist. I wish the world could be peaceful all on it's own, & there would be no need for force & intimidation to try to smooth things over between countries. I think it's extremely sad how many people die all around the world, because of these senseless acts of violence. It seems like, unfortunately, the go to way to impose your ideology unto another region.
Power is having some sort of control, recognition, or sense of worth over someone else or a group of people. It can be a result of being a public figure, a leader, having lots of money, being famous, or coming from a well known family. This position can be used for good or bad.
Interests
5. What have you had long conversations about? What are your interests? Why?
So many things, I don't even know where to begin. Life in general, personality type theory (lol), conspiracy theories (couple friends are big into it, so it's fun), relationships, feelings, school, hard times in life, etc.
My interest are all over the place. I love music, a lot of shows & movies, theater, writing, acquiring knew knowledge, traveling, sports, trying to understand people better, researching topics I find interesting, etc.
I just like experiencing what life has to offer & trying to make sense of it.
6. Interested in health/medicine as a conversation topic? Are you focused on your body?
Health, yes, but not medicine. I like talking about food, recipes, & healthy eating, along with things like exercising. I like talking about the benefits of foods & working out.
I'm focused on my body looking good, feeling good, & keeping my heart healthy.
7. What do you think of daily chores?
They're boring, but I try to put some music on while doing them & make them fun. I mean, I want clean clothes & dishes, so that requires me to wash them.
8. Books or films you liked? Recently read/watched or otherwise. Examples welcome.
I've only watched TV shows lately. I do love the Harry Potter movies, the Home Alone movies, Adam Sandler's movies, & Robin Williams' movies a lot.
9. What has made you cry? What has made you smile? Why?
Sad scenes in shows/movies, disappointments in life, bad situations, being stressed, feeling unappreciated, feeling used, feeling bored, etc.
Having fun with friends/family, meeting random nice people, feeling relaxed, etc.
I don't know. The feelings just wash over me.
10. Where do you feel: at one with the environment/a sense of belonging?
I like walking park trails with friends. I just feel at one when I have some down time to truly relax & unwind & not have to focus on anything else.
Evaluation & Behaviour
11. What have people seen as your weaknesses? What do you dislike about yourself?

The same as above. My sensitivity, too.

Figuring out my future & being more consistent.
14. Ever feel stuck in a rut? If yes, describe the causes and your reaction to it.
Yes, when every aspect of my life is tanking. I hate feeling like I'm moving backwards or at a halt, instead of moving forward. Especially, when I'm drowning in school work. I start lashing out, seeking distractions, getting very disorganized, never on time to anything, skipping going places I need to, etc.
People & Interactions
15. What qualities do you most like and dislike in other people? What types do you get along with?
Empathy, liveliness, a sense of adventure, a sense of humor, a calming presence, etc.

The same qualities I seek in friends.
17. If you were to raise a child, what would be your main concerns, what measures would you take, and why?
That they can express themselves, that they can come to me with any problem, & that they feel happy. That's all I would be able to ask from them. I wouldn't have standards that they have to meet. I would mold myself to fit what they need.
18. A friend makes a claim that clashes with your current beliefs. What is your inward and outward reaction?
I would just like to pick their brain about it. I would be more interested in why they think/feel that way.
19. Describe your relationship to society. How do you see people as a whole? What do you consider a prevalent social problem? Name one.
I'm part of a bigger whole but also an individual.
People judging others with preconceived notions.

Depends on what friend & what we're doing.
21. How do you behave around strangers?
Polite.
