What is the most important part of your daily routine?

Morning cuddles and snuggles with my partner. Just waking up and immediately embracing each other makes me feel special and cared for.

 

What is your current happiness most dependent on?

Right now, my job hunt. I made a huge decision by quitting my job and I’ve been thinking a lot about if it was the right decision. It’s hard on my “ego” (I think?) not to be making any money. I want to have a job and feel like I’m “somebody” again.

 

What do you wish you were less reliant on?

Picking my split ends.

 

When do you question yourself?

Usually, not too often. In this current state of uncertainty with my career, always. I’ve decided that I no longer want to be in sales as my career, so I’m left wondering what to do next. It feels like I’m starting over.

 

What is something that has positively impacted how you perceive your self-worth?

Having a mommy that loves me unconditionally. My mom is the best thing that’s ever happened to me, and I worship the ground she walks on.

 

What is something you have forgiven yourself for?

Cheating on a boyfriend in my early 20s. I’m not proud of it, but it ultimately led me to understand things about myself that I previously hadn’t.

 

What is something you have forgiven someone else for?

I love forgiving!!! It’s the spice of life. I stay forgiving people. It’s too much energy not to forgive. I have forgiven my mom for being an alcoholic and being too drunk to protect me when I was being abused.

 

How do you ground/center yourself?

Going on a nice lil walk and listening to “The Daily” podcast.

 

What is one thing that helped you through your most difficult time?

Nicotine.

 

Have you ever felt like the best version of yourself? When?

Probably when I don’t go out on a Friday night and wake up SPRY on Saturday morning and workout. Makes me feel like “Haha, you idiots all went out last night and feel like shit and I’m perfect”.

 

What is something you fundamentally disagree with?

Donald Trump.

 

What is something you know for sure?

That it is none of my (or anyone else’s) business what folks do in the privacy of their own home. Be gay, be trans, get an abortion, believe in god, don’t believe in god. Who cares? Literally, what’s it to you? Just let people live; it’s really not that complicated. Love thy neighbor.

 

What are three of your non-negotiables in romantic relationships?

1. A good sex life

2. Feeling taken care of

3. Mutual respect for each other's intellect

 

When do you feel most comfortable in your own skin?

When I’m at my girlfriend’s house and we’re trying on all the clothes we ordered online.

 

Have you ever been in awe of something/someone? When?

Myself, when I quit nicotine cold turkey after 10 years of daily use.

 

What is the best (physical/material) gift you have ever received?

My dad, paying for college.

 

What is one thing you wish you had said ‘yes’ to in the past?

Honestly, I’ve said “yes” a lot in my life. I’ve genuinely done a lot of cool things. If I had to think of something, it would probably be trying out a relationship with a woman.

 

What is one thing you will always say ‘no’ to in the future?

Any form of “Account Executive,” “Account Manager,” or “Business Development” career. I’m SO done with sales!!!

 

What do you believe is your most attractive quality?

I honestly have great boobs and butt.

 

What/who do you want to be when you grow up?

I want to be happily married.

 

BONUS: Tell me something good.

My boyfriend and I are going to look at engagement rings next week and we just bought our first house together!
