you do you

Which aspects do you think makes a person unique?

There is something magical about a person who, despite all attempts to stop them, stays true to who they really are.

Hindsight

Who was your most influential teacher? Why?

A good education is like a harvest of plenty:

Many hands have to help in the planting. Many moons have to pass in the growing.

And many days are spent taking in the harvest, one life lesson at a time.

It is all a constant, communal effort.

And yet.

You won’t know just how much you needed that harvest until the Winter of Discontent arrives.

For then you see its necessity: The storms may rage, the snows and ice may isolate, but you are not alone and do indeed have plenty.

Curse Breaker

What experiences in life helped you grow the most?

They say “Healing Journey”

They mean finding all manner of skeletons in all manner of closets and encountering demons in human disguise.

The point is knowing when to fight back and when to walk away.

What is your favorite drink?

… back to that one afternoon at that pretty vacation spot.
That fruit punch – nonalcoholic, tropical, freshly made – that tasted like a Gift from the Gods.

Every other drink has paled in comparison.
A whole glass of Paradise.
Perfection.
