What is the most important part of your daily routine?
Showering. I know that is part of everyone’s daily routine, but it is really my time to get my thoughts together for the day.
What is your current happiness most dependent on?
Money. I hate it, but it is needed. None of my self-care can get done without it.
What do you wish you were less reliant on?
My phone. I’m so attached to it through out the day.
When do you question yourself?
When things end in a sour way with a love interest. I always blame myself. What red flags did I ignore? Why was I so nice? I should’ve made them chase me more.
What is something that has positively impacted how you perceive your self-worth?
Learning to stand up for myself. I’m worth standing up for. When I was younger, I was reserved. I hated confrontation, but now I will confront anyone about me!
What is something you have forgiven yourself for?
Being young and allowing someone to cheat on me. I knew for years that I was being cheated on and I stayed. I just wanted to have a relationship. So, I would ignore him staying out all night and working long hours.
What is something you have forgiven someone else for?
I’ve forgiven my parents for being so emotionally immature. My parents had me very young, and I spent most of my childhood being blamed for all of their mishaps in life. I didn’t grow up in a space where I could voice how I felt or even have a say. I’m now super close with both of my parents and understand that they are just humans.
How do you ground/center yourself?
I hang out with my friends. They are my safe place. Whenever life is beating me up, I hit the group chat with dinner plans and then life is worth living again.
What is one thing that helped you through your most difficult time?
My faith! I’m not a super religious person. I believe in God. I know he is always working things out for me somehow. I noticed when I put all my faith in him, things work out every time!
Have you ever felt like the best version of yourself? When?
Not yet. I am pretty hard on myself. I don’t even know if I will even recognize when I will be my best version. I wish I weren’t like this.
What is something you fundamentally disagree with?
Kids before marriage!! And no, not for religious reasons. I know marriage doesn’t guarantee anything, but at least give your kids a chance of a healthy foundation.
What is something you know for sure?
I know no matter what, the day has to end. As bad as the day might seem it will all come to an end at some point.
What are three of your non-negotiables in romantic relationships?
1. Has to have some type of faith in any God.
2. Has to have a great relationship with BOTH parents if they are alive
3. Has to have every basic necessity (house, car, job, etc.)
When do you feel most comfortable in your own skin?
A little shallow, but when everything is done. Hair, wax, nails, and great shower.
Have you ever been in awe of something/someone? When?
This past October, when I was headed to Mexico, I sat next to this gorgeous girl. Like really gorgeous. Almost too perfect. I kept staring, because what?? How??
What is the best (physical/material) gift you have ever received?
This is sad, but I don’t really receive great gifts. I am the person that gives the amazing gifts.
What is one thing you wish you had said ‘yes’ to in the past?
This guy I was dating earlier this year asked if we could start dating seriously. I said no. Not because I didn’t want to, but because I have a fear of being with someone and losing myself again. He’s awesome! I wish I had the balls to be in a relationship again, but I don’t.
What is one thing you will always say ‘no’ to in the future?
Being pressured to take shots. I can’t tell you how many hangovers I’ve had because I was pressured into taking one too many shots. Never again.
What do you believe is your most attractive quality?
My consideration. I am always considering the feelings of the people I love.
What/who do you want to be when you grow up?
I want to be free. Does that count? I don’t want to be subjected to societal norms anymore. I don’t want to feel like I have to have a relationship or have kids. I want to age and not feel the need to have 55 different ant-aging creams. I want to be ugly sometimes and not always look presentable.
BONUS: Tell me something good.
I don’t think I am the hardest worker, but somehow, I managed to win one of the biggest awards in my company two years in a row out of 5,500 employees. I’m very proud.
