~*Dare To Tell The Truth*~

I think it depends on the situation, really. But lately, I find myself more tolerant. Why? Because its just not worth it sometime, I think why would I bother to let myself get all worked up over something that probably won't matter next week.

If you could change one thing in your life -- what would it be?

I think it has just come with more exposure to differences AND an understanding that I have many flaws as well and that doesn't make me "less than".

Have you ever taken a friendship to the next level, then been able to recover the friendship because you probably should have just been friends all along?

no.

That life could give do-overs and that I could turn back time.

That while it might seem great from the outside, sometimes, often really, I feel that being considered attractive by many is not all it's cracked up to be.

Do you have a particular fear that you know is irrational yet it still holds you back?

"irrational: adjective; from Latin irrationalis; in - "not" and rationalis - "reason".

1. without the faculty of reason; deprived of reason.
2.without or deprived of normal mental clarity or sound judgment.
3.not in accordance with reason; utterly illogical: irrational arguments.
4.not endowed with the faculty of reason"

given a clear definition, yes. bugs that insist on suddenly occupying space that belongs to me at that moment (ditto spiders, bats, rodents, teenagers and perfume models)

i also have one or two fears that do not involve a lack of reason but a lack of cojones. sue me.

do you deprive yourself of something vital to your well being and if so, why?

[ahk]

yes, because she's my mom.

how do you space yourself from negative people?
