50 questions that will free your mind

I have found this survey on the internet and because I’m really bored at the moment I thought let’s just give it a try. Feel free to copy and paste it to your blog if you’re just as bored as I am.

These questions have no right or wrong answers.

Because sometimes asking the right questions is the answer.

How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?
I have no idea. I’m 18, sometimes I feel really responsible and wise, but sometimes I just like to be daddy’s lil’ gurlllll haha. So it depends on my mood.
Which is worse, failing or never trying?
Of course never trying! But I hate to fail, I get nervous really quick lately so sometimes I just don’t try, so I won’t fail.
If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do?
That’s exactly what I think. Let’s just skip school and travel around the world.
When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
Probably. I talk a lot.
What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world?
Child prostitution. It’s horrible.
If happiness was the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich?
Traveling (oh and shopping).
Are you doing what you believe in, or are you settling for what you are doing?
Both.
If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently?
Yes of course. I would travel the world after university for 5 years, then have kids and do everything I like, never worry about a thing.
To what degree have you actually controlled the course your life has taken?
I don’t really control my life so..
Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things?
About doing things right (you know, I don’t like failure).
You’re having lunch with three people you respect and admire. They all start criticizing a close friend of yours, not knowing she is your friend. The criticism is distasteful and unjustified. What do you do?
I tell them that their criticism is bull shit.
If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be?
Be independent. Make sure that you make your own money, so you can do what you want.
Would you break the law to save a loved one?
Depends on which law and which loved one.
Have you ever seen insanity where you later saw creativity?
I think so..
What’s something you know you do differently than most people?
I always have conversations with people in my head, just to prepare for the real conversation. Oh and I connect colors with things or words (for example: every day of the week has a different color). It’s called Synesthesia.
How come the things that make you happy don’t make everyone happy?
I don’t know? Maybe they don’t like what I like?
What one thing have you not done that you really want to do? What’s holding you back?
Traveling around the world. I need money first.
Are you holding onto something you need to let go of?
Yes. I keep believing that some day, my parents will get back together and everything is OK.
If you had to move to a state or country besides the one you currently live in, where would you move and why?
Maybe Belgium, because it’s not too far away from my family, and I love Belgium. Or maybe Italy because I love Italian food and the weather is better there. Or maybe America because they have my favorite shops and then I won’t have to learn a new language.

What are you most grateful for?
Being alive and healthy.
