Introspection

This week for her meme, Strawberry Singh has challenged us to look inward. I'm kind of pouty about it because with Shoetopia going on right now I really want to look at my feet not my soul. Nevertheless, it's a good challenge and I'll give it a go.

Meme instructions: Answer the following questions and don’t forget to leave a link to your post in (Berry's) comments.

1. Regardless of your current number, how old do you actually feel? – Without telling my actual age, I'd say I feel mid-thirties. I don't think we truly hit our strides until then.
2. Which is worse, failing or never trying? – Never trying, definitely. Unless it's parachuting out of an airplane.
3. If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently? – I'd sing more.
4. Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things? – I guess I try to do the right thing though sometimes it's difficult to know what that is.
5. Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton? – I can't imagine being joyful as a simpleton, so I guess I'll stick with worried slightly above average.
6. Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend? –You'd have to ask my friends about that. I try to be.
7. Do you remember that time 5 years ago when you were extremely upset? Does it really matter now? – Uh...yeah.
8. At what time in your recent past have you felt most passionate and alive? – Anytime I laugh with a friend.
9. If you just won a million dollars, would you quit your job? – I never thought I would, but if you give me the money we'll test that theory.
10. If you knew that everyone you know was going to die tomorrow, who would you visit today? – I'd gather my family together and feed them all their favorite foods.
11. What do you feel is the difference between being alive and truly living? – Being alive is getting through the tough times by putting one foot in front of another. Truly living is jumping off the cliff and trusting yourself to find your footing.
12. If we learn from our mistakes, why are we always so afraid to make a mistake? – I don't think I'm afraid to make small mistakes. But mistakes aren't all equal. Some are damn hard to come back from.
13. What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you? – I'd sing and dance a lot more.
14. If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be? – A newborn? That seems to be a little soon to start offering advice. Maybe "Sleeping through the night is a GOOD thing."
