When is the last time you took a risk? How did it work out?

A few weeks ago I told someone I liked them. They wanted to remain friends. I don’t regret it at all we are still friends and we can still just chat for hours. I would regret never telling them how I felt. I would rather feel pain for a minute than live with regret my whole life. Our life on this earth is too short to live with a mountain of regret. So even if it might cause you pain I say take the risk, you will never know how the story might go if you never try.

Write about a time when you didn’t take action but wish you had. What would you do differently?

I wish when I was younger I was more informed in politics. I would have volunteered to try and help shape our country. I know I got sick in my 20’s but I still would feel better if I had done something during that time.

Describe a decision you made in the past that helped you learn or grow.

I love playing with a team in a game. I spent a lot of time loving them, being there for them and put myself last. I decided to stop caring because I saw how selfish they were. I spent hours worrying and caring but the truth is they never cared about me. It taught me just because you love something so much you want to believe it will all workout in the end. But sometimes we must learn how to let go of things we cannot control. We must learn that life isn’t fair and things don’t always workout. But I guess the silver lining is learning to let go and find peace within yourself without those individuals. Life is too short to be anything but happy and if they don’t make you happy let them go. Sometimes self care is being selfish. That is what I learned and how it made me grow.

Describe a positive thing a family member has done for you.

When I was extremely sick I would put my head on my mom’s lap and she would just run her fingers through my hair. It was the most soothing thing I ever experienced. So while I fought my demons she would do this whenever I came to her. She is the most important person in my life.
