quantum entanglement

Write about a time when you didn’t take action but wish you had. What would you do differently?

If you’re a curmudgeon, eating an apple or an orange won’t change the curmudgeon part. Unless it’s magic fruit.

Situations vary, but your response is up to you.

Are you hard-headed, a people pleaser, or even both?
Learn to compromise, set healthy boundaries, and work on how you respond to situations and people.

Everything after that is quantum.

Green?

Describe a decision you made in the past that helped you learn or grow.

Super Green.

Do it. Honestly, just do it.
Write it. Pitch it. Build it, and they will come.

Try that thing you’ve always wanted to do, the one that’s audacious and “out there”.
And: Have fun.

You’ll be surprised where that gets you.
It’s all in the doing.
So do it.

Alan Rickman squint

What place in the world do you never want to visit? Why?

That is phenomenally suspicious question. Tell me, what exactly do you expect me to say here? No, I’m curious. Hell would be too prosaic, wouldn’t it. Other people, then. Naturally. But people are everywhere, aren’t they. They can be such a bother. Horrible. Though. Well. There is a certain kind of villainy, isn’t there, a kind of evil, that defies all sense and reason. A corruption of the soul, the kind that seeps into everything, and ruins even the simplest of pleasures. Yes. That is the kind of place one wouldn’t want to be in. Would you? Of course not. Who would? Now, that’s an interesting question. Those who revel in villainy. Those who corrupt for corruption’s sake. My conscience hath a thousand several tongues, and every tongue brings in a several tale, and every tale condemns me for a villain. Thrilling to play as an actor. Horrible to exist with as a human being. Quite a silly business, isn’t it. Being human. Unfortunately, we can’t ask the person who started the whole mess. Rather annoying, really.
