What’s your biggest dream?

Do you think we’re shaped more by our experiences or by who we are?
…that leads to more questions.
What is meant by “who you are”? Inherent qualities? If so, like what? Or does it refer instead to culture? Status?
Aside from all that, it’s both, simply put. Experience feeds into identity, which then directs experiences. They are part of a feedback loop and their impact is at once time dependent, shared and contextual.
It all depends. 😉

What’s a chapter of your life you’d title “The Hard Years” — and what got you through it?
You mean a single, solitary chapter…?
Heh.
Yeah, no. I can’t answer that. life, by default, is frickin hard and confusing. All the chapters are hard in some way. But, i’m still here, so… (shrug)
What gets me through? Music. Silence. Writing. Sunshine. Gratitude. Stubbornness. Ignorance.
Take your pick. 😉

What villain actually had a good point?
Um…. Are we talking movie villains or real ones?
For movies, most of them have something. Relatable (though extreme) origin story, a good point about society, a weakness that makes them human. It’s character development. Even villains are romanticized in media.
Real life though? That depends on a whole bunch of things. Genocidal maniacs? Not so much. A person who takes extreme and or lethal action for their own safety? Yeah, see the last four words of the last sentence. that’s a pretty damn good point, though that person will be a villain in some stories, a hero in others.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
This would be a short-term thing, 3 years or so, maybe 5.
I would live in the house where i was living when the trajectory of my life went radically off course. I would live there long enough to show that brave, terrified, beautiful girl that lives in my memory that we did it. we found peace again.

Is a little chaos actually good for us?
Yes. Chaos is a fundamental requirement of life.
And once you really sit with that and let it settle into your mind, life becomes more fun. It turns into a game between you, life, and the chaos gremlins. 😝
