What are the most important things needed to live a good life?
OMG if I could definitively answer that question I would write a book and make millions. This question absolutely cannot be answered and have that answer fit every person everywhere. All I can say is good luck wrestling with this query.
Who do you spend the most time with?
99.9% of the time I am by myself unless you want to count the dog as a person .
If you had to change your name, what would your new name be?
Is this a witness protection inquiry? I can think of a reason I would want to change my name l, I have had it for 57 years and I am pretty comfortable with it. Could I change my name to Elon Musk, or Jeff Bezos for 24 to 48 hours and have access to their  obscene wealth in order to siphon off a couple million that they would never miss? Maybe that would be a temporary option . 🤣🤣
Describe your dream chocolate bar.
This feels like a really obscure thought experiment. I don’t view myself as Willy Wonka so I never concocted the chocolate treat of my dreams. Personally I don’t like really sweet things and when I think of chocolate I like the Mexican chocolate that has some kind of chili that is infused into the coco … don’t know if there is mole candy bar… for all of those that don’t know what a mole is , Mole comes from a family of sauces prepared throughout the Oaxaca and Puebla regions of Mexico and is characterized by a complex, layered flavor derived from intricate blends of dried chiles, spices, fruits, and seasonings many mole’s contain chocolate.
Do you remember your favorite book from childhood?
Being a Gen X kid we played outside a lot and wasn’t a big reader until high school. When my family moved to Germany, I was an angry angst teenager and read every Stephen King novel to date in 1983 and a lot of Dean Koon novels so I would say I was dark and moody and red a lot of horror fiction as in high school so I would say those were my favorite as a youth .
List three books that have had an impact on you. Why?
These are all titles of books that I may have known something about the subject matter, but it gave me more perspective and introspection on those subjects.
What fears have you overcome and how?
Fear is an irrational response to not being about to predict an outcome. Fear of the dark is an irrational thought that there is something waiting for you in an unseen space. Hight’s, will you fall and get injured… name the fear and you can resolve it down to an irrational response to an unknown outcome.
The line from Dune that is told to Paul and he continues to repeat to himself ‘Fear is a mind killer’, is a truth most of us are unwilling to acknowledge.
Don’t predict the worst possible future and recognize that even that worst outcome may not be a bad as you may think.
Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life.
I really don’t know how to address this question, I have been comfortably uncomfortable for so long that joy is something I don’t even understand. Every day is the same walk through this existence and to quote another Pink Floyd reference ‘ all in all just another brick in the wall’. I realize that this is bummer response to today’s query but honest answers aren’t always pretty.
How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen?
I do the same thing everyday, up early, work, nothing, nothing, eat, bed…. Really no life just a routine.
What quality do you value most in a friend?
I feel that I know how to be a friend but honestly don’t have many or any friends. I have associates and contemporaries but really only one friend and she is on the opposite side of the country. A person that is around for good times and seems to always need a favor but desert you in a time of stress and always has an excuse when you need help is not a friend. I am always the person who is willing to help or be a shoulder to cry on but haven’t found in another and at 57 I really have stopped trying.
Wow this really isn’t the way the algorithm wanted this to be answered.
