well … more space means room to stiffen the drink, really.
hahahaha
seriously though … it depends. it could go either way for me. i think i am more of a realist than an either or, optimist/pessimist.

Who do you see when you look in the mirror?
a way older version of me than i feel like i am
i feel like i am a child inside. like i miiiiiiiiight be almost 19. i don’t feel like a middle aged woman, handling adult things. but … there i am … looking back at me in the mirror. all old and grown.
it’s an odd thing … to be so old and feel so … not!
How do you feel when you have to speak to a large audience?
ANXIOUS
How do people close to you define you?
strong. smart. lots of words i would never use for my self. resilient. leader.
people look up to me, and not just because i am tall. i have always kind of assumed it was the glasses but even when i don’t wear them, this is what seems to happen …
it’s ok. i am getting used to it.
being the one to handle all of the things.
i think it has to do with just … acting sure of my self. even when i am not.
i often say, i am not sure if it’s brave or stupid. and no one else knows which it is until i am either successful, or not….
Is minimalism something for you?
No. Not really. I like stuff. I like silly stuff. I like old stuff. I like the smell of stuff. I like seeing stuff around me.
I would like, one day, to be in a tiny home. Free of the stuff that I have carted around for other people for years. But not minimalistic persay. Just … within my means, and just for me.

How would you describe your teen years.
long and hard.
not in the good way, either.
i don’t even actually want to think or write about it.
there’s a lot of stuff i worked really hard to “get over” in my life. my teen years were the era of many of them.
What’s your favourite holiday?
ALL OF THEM!
i really like christmas
a lot.
i like the whole idea of it … the eating and the family gatherings. the presents and treats and surprises for people you love.
How do you feel when you look at the sky?
small.
hopeful.
like there is no limit to life.
How many hours did you sleep last night?
about 6. not all in a row. but … about 6 total. like 2, and then another 4.
i don’t sleep normal. i never really have. unless i have some big bear of a man snoring beside me, i can’t make it through the whole night. i know other people dislike the big loud snore of a large hairy dude, but i love it!
there is no better sleep than one spent with the heavy arm of a snorer holding you still, while their loud rumbling breath lulls you to sleep like the rhythm of a metronome.
mmmmmmm
it’s the best. those times, i sleep for 10 hours instead of 6 🙂

Last criticism you received and what did you do about it?
um some douchenugget on of the internet called me a troll so i handled it by being extra polite and wishing him very well.
i honestly believe in killing them with kindness
so i really try to do so
