1. Who is the one person who has influenced you the most?
there isn't just one particular person, never has been. so in all reality my friends
2. If you could turn back time, would you?
normally I would have said no. turning back time doesn't always guarantee that the mistake would be avoided in the first place or that maybe I would learned from it. but of late yes I would have turned back time to a specific day. I wouldn't made that mistake that I did. and I would go to great lengths not to do it again. almost lost someone very important to me, that alone would make me turn back time.
3. What is the root of all evil?
I still believe its money, though there are other things that may fall under that category and none of them are particularly nice.
4. Does wisdom come with age or experience?
this question can be answered in many different ways. for me I believe experience. but thats me, if I hadn't been through half of the shit that I went through I don't think that my views on life would be the same, and how could I help someone else if I never through it.. but this question falls under the same scrutiny that the who comes first the chicken or the egg.. you could round and round on this, and actually never have the question completely answered. avoidance perhaps or sides are taken.. no one person is going to be in agreement on this question.
5. Can people change?
at one point in time I used to say no, but I was wrong. people can change, but depends solely on them. no one else can change me, only I can do that. you can change you, no one else. if the motivation or desire isn't there or even the knowledge of knowing that there are changes needed, then no change won't happen. without change we become stagnant. then how do we expect to accomplish anything in life if we just stay stuck.
6. Define happiness?
happiness is many different things to me, can't just narrow it down. ok so maybe I complicate it more than I should, the question that is. lol for me, its my son whom I love very much, my friends who bring smiles to my face, when I want to cry, taking the time out in my life to help someone who needs it, without ever expecting anything in return. smelling flowers as a pass them by.. the simple things in life, that I often pass by, because I am too busy living my life.
7. Why do people judge you?
maybe its because they were judged in their lives at some point, maybe because it makes them feel better. though I personally think to judge someone is wrong, accomplishes nothing except a lot of pain, anger and other negative feelings. way too much of that going on these days.. how can someone judge me when they don't even know me. walk a mile in my shoes before thinking about judging me and my life. insecure people perhaps judge more than they should. I can't say that I have never done, at least not intentionally. my adoptive mom judges me all the time, and has since I can remember. just recently I have decided that if I can look past that maybe there is something about her that she isn't happy with, perhaps she is hiding behind a mask, like we all have done at one time or another.
its not fair for her to judge me and its not fair to her for me to do the same.
8. What is the thing you regret the most?
a choice that I made a little bit ago, which almost cost me everything. the choice that I made, made me realize how much I missed someone in my life, and I was sorry and admitted my wrong. things change when certain choices are made, learning from that is important. I know for me I won't make that same mistake again.
I have other regrets, but they are in my past. thats where they will stay. no use crying over spilled milk. I can't fix what I broke years ago, just work on not making the same mistakes again.
I thank you for these questions, sorry for the length. I believe in answering each one these with honesty and as much in depth as I can give you.
your questions are good ones, thank you for asking me them
good luck
kat
