It’s so funny…. When I was younger, I hated being alone. Now, I treasure my solitude, and get cranky and anxious if it is limited by circumstance.

I’m not sure when patience stopped being a common thing, but I get super irritated when people lack patience, especially in certain situations. I mean, seriously, if it’s a matter of waiting an extra 10 seconds for something? Take a sip of coffee. 10 minutes? Run to the bathroom or check your phone. It’s generally not really that urgent. In most cases, it’s not at all the life or death scenario that some people make it out to be.
Now, I’m not saying not to get a bit testy if you’ve been waiting for an hour and then get told you have to wait longer. Or if the wait time is completely out of line for what you’re waiting for. That’s different. I’m talking first level lack of patience when something isn’t immediate. (I will say, however, that your feeling impatient or somehow slighted because you’ve had to wait is never an acceptable reason to be rude.)
I understand that we now live in a fast paced, highly digital world where things are often done/achieved/obtained faster than they ever have been, and at times, that can be wonderful. But, I’m also going to say that perhaps the quality of what we are getting oh so expeditiously is not nearly what it would be if we simply had some patience.
Something to think about.

Have I failed at life because I never had kids and did not do my part to propagate the species?

Wind is just a natural way of keeping balance in a particular system.

Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it?
I had a pink care bear, about six inches tall, with two hearts on her belly. “LovesAlot” was her name. She was a gift from my grandfather. I carried her everywhere. I even slept with her and another teddy bear, from my grandmother, through my mid teens.
Now, she is packed away in the basement with several other childhood memories; things that will never be forgotten, but that can’t be part of the day to day, because we all have to “grow up”.
It is a sad reality – being an adult strips away things from childhood that perhaps should be clung to.

Why aren’t testicles internal?
All the other vital life structures – heart, lungs, brain, and for direct comparison, uterus – are all within the body. Mother nature just randomly decided, “yeah, the body part responsible for generating the second half of mammalian propagation is gonna be exposed and overly sensitive. Great idea!”? I don’t get it.

What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?
It’s great, as long as you are happy.
If you are sad and miserable? Not so much.

Sneezing is weird, sneezing fits even more so. “Let me expel things from my body at crazy speeds in rapid succession, but I’m going to turn into a sniffling stuffy mess after the fact.” Seriously?

What could you do differently?
I don’t like this question. Just wanted to put that out there.
What could I do differently? Literally everything.
I could brush my teeth left handed. I could drink my coffee black. I could become a drug addict. I could eat a “healthy”, plant based diet. I could go back to school. I could be a raging, nit-picky bitch. But I don’t do these things, because I don’t want to.
Then I think, “well, what should I do?” I really don’t like the word should because it implies obligation. And in many instances where people use that word, there is no obligation, there is only want. The only thing you really have an obligation to is yourself, your children (if you have kids), and to keep your word when you say you’re going to do something. And for the record, the order of priority of those obligations, as far as I am concerned is kids, self, then promises. Though some of us make a habit of confusing the last two priorities.
So yeah, that’s my non-answer answer.
Have a great night!
