tell me about someone you most admire.

You know it's a toss up between Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama. Both have endured so much physically and mentally but neither of them gave up and remained positive. That's pretty amazing and something we/i could all learn from.

Tell me about a part of your body you don't like (because I hate my feet).
