My ex-husband.

What are three things you think are absolutely worth the investment?
(financially, emotionally, or time/energy-wise)
Giving without the expectation of anything in return
Learning how to love yourself more than anything else on the planet. It seems cliché, but it’s the gods-honest truth.
Take the vacation – just do it – go somewhere and leave the world behind or a little bit.
When do you feel most creative?
When I am left alone to ponder.
How often do you compare yourself to others? When?

Not giving up.
What is one thing you believe about your future self?
I will fulfill the purpose during my time here on earth.
What is one thing you learned in childhood that you have now had to unlearn in adulthood?
Criticism and sarcasm. Nothing good comes from either of them.
Have you ever felt pure joy? When?
Yes – when I stood up and left the table where I realized I wasn’t appreciated. I chose myself, and it felt damn good.
What is something that would feel really good to get off your chest?
Being able to tell my father how he impacted me. How he jaded me. How he manipulated me and never truly loved me when it mattered the most.
When do you feel most in your feminine energy?
When I feel protected – which isn’t very often.
What is one interaction that changed your life?
Having my son's father threaten bodily harm to me while I was pregnant because he didn’t “want ‘that’ anymore”.

Anger.

I want to learn how to fly a plane.
What do you believe is a universal truth?
The best is yet to come - at any given moment.
