Day 55: A passage from a book that has touched you.
Posted one like 2 posts ago so i’ll find a different one.
“We must know the pain of loss because if we never knew it, we would have no compassion for others, and we would become monsters of self-regard, creatures of unalloyed self-interest. The terrible pain of loss teaches humility to our prideful kind, has the power to soften uncaring hearts, to make a better person of a good one. “ - Dean Koontz.

Day 54: Your definition of love.
Complicated. Relationships never last, or at least not happily. I’ve witnessed a marriage that is just lasting because it’s something they’re used to but they can’t spend a happy moment together. The only love I have right now is for family and friends.

Day 53: Your day, in great detail.
There hasn’t been much of a day to detail. Woke up at 11am, which I think is quite early since I had been awake since 4:30 am yesterday morning until 1am this morning. Tried to enroll in university, but I have no idea what the hell I am doing. Matthew messaged me and he’s found out he’s gotten in to university, the same university as me, yay. We’re going out to celebrate now tonight. I’m still sat in my pajamas, waiting for the pasta bake to cook and for Tara to phone saying she’s fetching my suitcase up since I got back from holidays with her last night.

Day 52: If you didn’t have an age, how old would you think you were.
It would vary so much. One minute I can be sat reading with a cup of coffee and the next playing catch like a child.

Day 51: Describe your future wedding.
I know that most girls are meant to have had their dream wedding planned since they were old enough to know what it was but I genuinely haven’t thought about it much. I’d always said I didn’t want to get married but If I did i’d want a really small wedding, only people really close to me would attend, typical wedding dress not too big, the bridesmaids in simple matching dresses and then a party later that’s bigger than the wedding. That’s what they’re for right?

Day 50: Why you are doing this challenge.
It originally started as something I could look back on in a years time and see how much my life has changed and now i’m still doing it because i’m too determined to give up. I refuse to start something and not finish it.

Day 49: Are you a lover or a fighter.
Both. I tend to be argumentative, I can’t keep my mouth shut when I think someone is out of order but it’s generally for the ones I love that i’ll be fighting.

Day 48: Your life story in three words.
I am me. Might sound tacky but I never change the way I am to conform to someones idea of how I should act or behave. I speak my mind even if I do get in trouble for it far too often.

Day 47: Is the truth always good to hear, why or why not?
I suppose it depends on the situation but to me yes, i’d rather know than not know. You’ll always find out one way or another and then it’s so much worse.

Day 46: What makes you smile/happy.
So many things. Friends, family, thinking back on amazing memories, getting new clothes/shoes/jewellery, the fact that i’m going on holidays in 3/4 days, Gilmore Girls, cute pictures from years ago, getting in to bed after a night out and of course money. I could go on & on.

Day 45: When was the last time you tried something new.
I bought alcohol from a store with my ID for the first time yesterday if that counts? I can’t really think of anything major but I will be going to a club for the first time on thursday & bought a few weird drinks for on the way there so that’ll be something new.

Day 44: When is it time to stop calculating risk and rewards, and just do what you know is right.
I know someone who would have so much to say about me and this. I over think and over calculate everything. Thinking ‘what if’ but I’m starting not to. I think it’s not about knowing what’s right it’s about doing what you want for once. Always do what you want, don’t regret it because at one point it was what you wanted. I don’t want to look back on my life and think ‘I should have done that’ or ‘I should have taken a risk’. “It’s better to cross the line and suffer the consequences than to just stare at the line for the rest of your life.” Don’t just survive, live.

Day 42: Your best friend just died, what is your reaction.
We were joking about this the other day, Meat Loaf - Bat out of hell was playing and she is adamant that that is one of the songs she wants played at her funeral. In all seriousness though I have no idea what my reaction would be. I would be devastated, I couldn’t imagine never seeing her again, she’s like a part of my family.
