Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why?
I spend more time thinking about the past because it’s already gone and there’s nothing you can do about it. The future is unknowable and so find it best to preoccupy my thoughts with what has already happened.
What is the greatest gift someone could give you?
I think the greatest gift someone can give me is grace. What do I mean by grace I think in friendship it means knowing all my “stuff” and still showing up for me regardless.
In love it means knowing my weakness, fears and hopes and aligning our relationship in a way that caters to that.
With family it’s knowing that while we started together we may end up in different places and with different opinions but those blood ties still have a place in the new destination.
What colleges have you attended?
I have actually attended a few colleges in my life.
That’s a lot learning on my part but I’m one of those life long learner types I guess 😅😘
Do you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you?
I try to play through laughter. I try to see the funny side to every situation. I find that makes the days go quicker not only for myself but those around me.
What makes you feel nostalgic?
From the moment I discovered a camera I loved taking photos. When I was growing up we used to take as many photos as we could with the only problem being how to process all the films.
The digital evolution of photography did not stop me taking photos and I currently have 46,228 photos on my phone (I recently deleted some). In my defence some photos are for content creation but a lot are just funny videos of my family, friends and places I’ve visited.
I often get into a mood where I think of someone or something and the photos and videos I have just ease that feeling of being apart from someone.
Another thing that makes me nostalgic is airports. No matter how happy you are to be going home, going to a new place you are always leaving something behind. I’ve moved quite a bit and so airports always stir up emotions for me. From the last time I saw this person, to the time such and such missed a flight or the first time I went home without someone.
There is a pause that I take in airports that is similar to the one I take when looking at old photos that can only be described as:
a sentimental longing or wistful affection for a period in the past.
