When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?

Of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to my mind and why?

This is a good question, and I will say my parents as they have worked hard for how far they have come in life.

They showed me how to show up and be there for my job but to put family first. They work hard, but they take time off, too, and they’re dependable. That people come to them for help at work. They make me want to be solid and reliable at work and show up for my team, even when I want a day off. But I know the limited support we have that every day that I show up is good.

They show me to be honest and trustworthy to my coworkers, and as long as I do good, God will protect me from the evil of the job place.

Maybe one day I will be as successful as them or as successful as the Lord wants me to be, too.

What makes a good neighbor?

Makes a good neighbor to me ?

Someone who is kind and says hi when I see them and asks how I am.

One that is willing to look after your house when you go away on a trip.

One that is respectful, and when they have parties, they keep the noise down once it gets late.

A good neighbor helps you out, and you return the help, especially during hardships or winter storms.

An excellent neighbor brings joy and peace to the neighborhood and minds their business when they need to.

What could you try for the first time?

For the first time?

So many things like food I haven’t tried them all so I would love to travel the world and try all the different foods.

And also maybe skydive for the first time

Swim with dolphins for the first time and so much more. If only I could, that would be great

What principles define how you live?

Define how I live.

Treat others how you want to be treated

Is one I live by for I always try to be kind no matter what for life is too short to be mean.

I feel so much joy being kind and nice to others, sometimes I may be quiet but that’s just my part of being shy.

I want the people who come into my life to feel good, and I never know if I’m the only one treating them nicely. I would hope my kindness helps them on their worst days.

What have you been putting off doing? Why?

Have I been putting off doing? And why?

I have been putting off doing social media posts on Instagram and TikTok for my books because I tried to do that and other things all at once.

This led to me burning out a couple of months ago, and now I’m focusing on one project at a time. And once I’m done with the one I am currently working on, I will go back and finish working on what I have put off.

I know that doing one thing and putting my all into it is better than trying to do three things and getting none done, for I give up at the end because of being overwhelmed.

When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)?

Was the first time I really felt like a grown up?

When I had to apply for health insurance, manage my money, and pay bills.

Every decision I had to make was truly mine to make, and if I didn’t make it, no one else could bail me out.

If you had a million dollars to give away, who would you give it to?

Had a million dollars to give away, who would give it to?

To my family and friends to help them live a lot less stressed out life.

And I would give it to animal shelters so fewer dogs and cats who are abandoned can be taken care of and live a long.

Also, I would give some money to the 18 literature charities that help teens and children get access to reading more books.

What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail.

I would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail.

Um, leave my job and write full-time.

What is your favorite hobby or pastime?

Hobby or pastime is?

Reading and watching movies/TV shows

I love getting sucked into fantasy stories or shows or movies that make you feel real life, but at the same time, you learn something new, making you laugh and possibly cry.

I enjoy a pastime that leaves me wanting more entertainment and knowledge and a happy ending, too.

What would you do if you lost all your possessions?

I do if I lost all of my possessions.

I would be sad at first, but it wouldn’t be the end of my life. For when we die, none of those things can come with us anyway.

But I would need to replace certain things like my important documents.

But sometimes, I wonder what it is like to have a simpler life without many distractions.

What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind?

A topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind?

Um judgment especially when it comes to the appearance of a person. I feel when I was younger I was that way for certain people picked on me for not being the size or look the way society said I should.

But now I feel when meeting new people you wait for them to open up and even if they do. It’s what they show me and tell me that helps me figure them out.

But I’ve noticed some people around me judge right by looks, and every time this person is around, they try to guess what they have gone through or how they are in relationships.

It makes me realize I don’t like when people are being too judgmental towards others they know just because they may look like a type of girl or guy that is up to no good.

When we judge a book by its cover, we are usually wrong. And I don’t want to see them in a false light after I’ve connected with them unless their actions and words show me who they are.

Tell us about a time when you felt out of place.

About a time I felt out of place?

Um, when I was in school, so a long time ago, I guess I’ve always known I was different and a little weird and creative and shy.

So I have always just dressed how I like, and maybe some days I didn’t match, but I wasn’t dressed like a little kid dressing her or himself for the first time. At least I hoped I didn’t look that way but oh well lol.

I was always the quiet one in my group of friends and probably wasn’t focused on the same things as them all the time. So some conversions I wasn’t in it. I was more of a homebody or went to the movies and was never really into the party scene so I couldn’t relate and felt like I wasn’t the typical teen at the time and it kinda of flowed when I was in college too.

But now I don’t care for I do me, and most of the time, I find I’m not alone, so it’s all good. I think I answered this prompt, but I might be rambling.

Your life without a computer: what does it look like?

Without a computer: what would it look like?

Well, I wouldn’t be playing sims4 or writing on my blog as my iPhone is like a little computer, too.

But the good thing would be I would have more time to read my books and write on paper. And focus on praying more to God and having a more balanced life.

I would have to go old school with my music and listen to CDs on my boombox, and maybe I’d do more art and take more walks in nature.

I’m sure life will be different, but I’m blessed to enjoy it in any way I can.

What skill would you like to learn?

I like to learn?

I would learn how to braid my hair better

And learn a couple of languages

I would love to learn to draw people and other things as well as paint more.

I would love to learn how to sit in silence and meditate and reflect.

What details of your life could you pay more attention to?

Details of my life could I pay more attention to?

When I pray and how often I talk to God, I try to focus on my mind, soul, and body so that I am genuinely taking care of my mental and physical health, not just when I’m off work but when I’m working, too. Try to be more present in what makes me happy and well before burnout.
