Knowing Yourself

Answer the following questions honestly. :)

 How do Mondays feel for you? *

- Monday's are stressful for me.
 What must you do daily to keep yourself ‘sane’? *
- I do things that I love and stop myself for thinking negative thoughts.
 Is trust more important than love, or is it the other way round? *
- Yes, I do believe that trust is more important than love because, you can't be with a person whom
you don't trust. If someone breaks your trust and hurts you, that isn't true love. Trust is something
you/we should earn. Without trust, it isn't love.
 Are you living your life, or having a life? Why? *
- To be honest, I am not living my life, because there will always be ups and downs in life. Having a
freedom and knowing my true purpose is something I want to get an answer from, in the future. But I
can say that I am still thankful for things that I have now.
 What makes you special, unique, and talented? *
- Some things that make me unique is accepting and identifying my strengths and my weaknesses, My
strengths are what makes me, myself. And my weaknesses are what makes me accept and learn from
my past mistakes.
 What is your perfect day look like? *
Home-cooked food, watching movies and/or series, not being bossed around by anyone. Being alone.
 When did your heart last ‘skip a beat’? Why? *
- I suppose this is a question is about love, excitement, or nervousness? Well, the last time is about
being excited, because I bought a cat stuffed toy for my special someone, and I also bought my
parents and my brother gifts for the valentines day!
 Who in your life do you wish you’d met sooner? *
- My present boyfriend! He gave me so much love and support, and also helps me with things I don’t
know of, he also helps me with my school-related activities.
 Give one thing that will bring more satisfaction and contentment in your life. *
- Having my own room? if that counts hehe
 What (or whom) drains your energy, why do you let it happen? *
- Cramming, I don't let it happen, I just have ADHD, but I'm trying to focus and I'm actually doing
better than before.
 If you could learn a new skill today, what would it be? *

 What would you do if fear wasn’t holding you back? *
- Act of acknowledging it, and facing it.
 What have you learned from the biggest and most painful mistakes you made in life? *
- I learned that letting people step over yourself will just drain you. Setting boundaries between
people is one of the things I should do. If people can’t handle it, then it’s not your problem anymore.
 Are your actions consistent with your talk? Explain. *
- No. I always find myself saying things like "I am happy" when the truth is I'm not. I tend to be very
secretive of my feelings because I don't want people to worry.
 How do you want to be remembered? *
Being someone who always laugh to the littlest of things.
