So here are some 'thought-provoking' questions I've found, because apparently my body and mind do not want any sleep tonight.
What in life, is beautiful to you? Where do you find inspiration?
I won't say anything like sunsets or flowers - although they are undoubtedly beautiful - but I find the little things that you don't often notice to be much more beautiful. The sound of rain against windows, feeling the scars on my boyfriend's hand and arms, piano music, waking up to hear the radio in the kitchen downstairs where people are making breakfest. It's these things, which other people may think of as mundane or ordinary, that give me inspiration.
What are the three "nevers" of your life?
I haven't really thought about that before. But right now I would think:
1. If christmas lights are not working, they are broken and you should NEVER touch them when they are still plugged in. The scar on my left hand tells me this.
2. Never give a cheater a second chance. A broken heart tells me this.
3. Never give up on a goal just because you are not sure if you can achieve it. Many sleepless nights filled with doubt tells me this.
You will notice that these are all things I have made mistakes with in the past. I guess this is just how we learn.
Can you describe your life with a six word sentence?
I'm happier than I've ever been.
What is your biggest best dream here and now?
Right now my biggest dream is to stay with the person I am with now, get into University and get through Medicine without a major breakdown, and even if I do not achieve that, be happy in the knowledge that there are many more options still open for me.
In all, I suppose, it's just to be happy in whatever I end up doing.
If you could have the one work (job, occupation, etc.) perfectly suited to you, what would it be?
Getting paid a lot for doing nothing in particular.
What is your greatest deepest fear?
Failure, not knowing what I want, or getting hurt again.
What did you want to be when you grew up?
I always wanted to be a psychologist. Or a popstar.
Who are your favorite artists? Why?
I don't know if this means artists as in painters and such, or bands and singers?
So I'll assume the latter since I don't know much about art.
I have two favourites, HIM and Nine Inch Nails.
HIM - because I grew up listening to them, as they were my brother's favourite band, and they've just stuck with me. The first song I ever heard by them was Join Me, and I couldn't get it out of my head for weeks. I am absolutely in love with Ville's deep voice, they are amazing live and just such a lovely band that are not arrogant in the slightest.
Nine Inch Nails - because they only ever do what they want to do. They will never become comercialised and they are as awesome as they were years ago. Trent Reznor is simply a genius. Every single song touches me, and I can always hear emotion in Trent's voice. I love their sound.
Where do you find refuge and how does it bless your life?
This is a hard one for me, because refuge is somewhere you would go or something you would do in order to escape from the stress of life, right? But often when life gets too stressful I find that I tend to revert back to an introverted state and get very ill. Which is not great at all :/
Although, I suppose you could also say refuge is just something that you do to give yourself some enjoyment. So I would have to say that I take refuge most in my friends. Even though I protest most of the time, I can't pretend that on the occasions when they do manage it, I do love being dragged out of my shell and driven away somewhere.
Where does love end and obsession begin?
I don't really know this, but the song 'Cup of Coffee' by Garbage seems to put it across better than I could.
If you could sit down and have a heart-to-heart discussion with your younger self, what words would you share with her or him?
Well first of all, I'd tell them never to listen to those other kids who think you're not cool enough or too nerdy or not fun enough - because actually in a few years people will appreciate the more sensible side of you a lot. That moving away is definitely not the end of your life, as you'll find that the people you meet will almost make you want to stay there forever.
Read any good books lately?
Not really. I've been reading the Harry Potter series again, which is of course always good :D Other than that I have been reading the K-PAX series that Reuben lent to me, and to be honest with you, I am only continuing to read them because I need to give them back asap and now I can't give up without knowing what happens in the end. It's become a bit of a chore though.
To whom did you last say “I love you”? Do you? To whom do you want to say “I love you”? Why don’t you? Who do you wish would say “I love you” to you?
It was Reuben, and yes I meant it, of course. I don't say 'I love you' to my family enough, I'm not sure why, probably embarrassment. I wish my Dad would say 'I love you' to me, because even though I'm sure he does it would just be nice to hear it, as we don't really talk that much despite living in the same house.
It made me a smile a lot though, when I heard about how he wanted to break a certain person's face for hurting me :)
Why do you think so many people never realise their full potential?
This is a question I ask myself so many times!
It annoys me so much when somebody who could be so much more is stuck in an unfulfilling job or course, or doing nothing at all. I suppose one of the reasons is that they honestly believe they are not good enough, or that they are afraid of failure. This is stupid though, and I think that you shoudl always try your best even if voices are telling you that you will not suceed. What harm will come from trying?
I've got to admit though that some people are very happy in their jobs, even if it is less than they could achieve, because it is what they enjoy doing. In this case, I think that it is much better to be in a job you love, even if you are not realising your 'full potential'.
Well, that was just some of my thoughts for you. It is now 4am, and I am still not very sleepy but I think I shall give my brain another chance for rest. x
