8.) A quote you live by.
“The years go by and time just seems to fly, but the memories remain.”
It’s a quote, or lyric, from Daughtry’s song September. It just reminds me that time really does fly by, but no matter what your memories will always be there. I probably didn’t explain that the best, but that’s still my favorite quote, or lyric, of all time.
9.) Share a vivid dream.
I remember having a dream of being at my mom’s house and Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz were there. This was my first ever dream with Lucy in it, so I was stoked. I remember they were getting married… Or I was getting married (I can’t remember) and I came out from the hallway into the kitchen and Lucy just embraced me in the best hug of my life. I woke up so ecstatic that I finally had a dream where I met Lucy.
10.) Name a few small things that make you happy.
- My little man, Alden. He always makes my days better.
- Having alone time to read, or just relax.
- Dr. Pepper. (Don’t judge me!)
11.) How have you changed in the past year?
This past year I have learned just how short life truly is. Losing my dad made me realize that. Time is short, and time is precious. So I’m trying to live everyday like it’s my last. I’m trying to make the best of each and everyday, rather than be mad or upset over little petty things. Also, ALWAYS tell the people you love that you love them when you get the chance. ❤
12.) What are some of your favorite movies?
- Titanic
- Step Brothers
- The Other Guys
- P.S. I Love You
- Mean Girls
- Christmas Vacation
13.) Which fictional character would you most like to be?
This is going to sound so stupid…. But….. Bella Swan. Why, you may ask? Well, because Edward Cullen was in love with her and he is so damn perfect. I wish I could be a vampire and look as perfect as he always did. I’d take a sparkling vampire any day of the week.
14.) Write down five weird things you like.
- I love being left alone. I don’t think that’s really “weird”, but I feel like I love being left alone more than anyone else.
- I like to hoard pictures. I just love the memories that come along with all photos.
- I love rainy weather / winter time. Most people don’t.
- I like metal detecting.
- I like to make a plate of Doritos, add shredded cheese to it and melt it in the microwave, then add some of the queso sauce from the jar, put it back in the microwave for a few seconds just to heat it up and it makes for some great nachos! – lol
15.) What do you love about yourself?
I love how compassionate I am. I love how empathetic I am towards everyone. And I love that I am truly motivated to making the best Youtube videos that I can make. I know they aren’t as good as the bigger Youtubers out there… But I try my best, and I’m always happy with how they turn out. I’m motivated to hopefully slowly grow my channel more and more. 🙂
16.) Ten places you would like to visit.
- Ireland.
- Jamestown, New York.
- North Carolina.
- California.
- Hawaii.
- Colorado.
- Alaska.
- The Bahamas.
- Georgia.
- Texas.
17.) Write about something that you are scared of.
I’ve always had this irrational fear of dying. I don’t know why, but I am terrified of death. I am also extremely petrified of snakes. I literally can’t be around them… When I see one I get light headed and feel like I’m going to pass out. I just can’t with snakes…
18.) My top three priorities.
- Alden. He is my number one priority.
- Jeremy. He is extremely important to me.
- The rest of my family / Jeremy’s family.
19.) One thing I will always do.
I will always stay true to myself, and who I am as a person. I won’t stop doing something just because some people don’t believe in it (such as Youtube) there have been some people who have been less than supportive of me having Youtube as an outlet but I don’t let that phase me. It has helped me so much with my depression, it’s crazy. I never knew that making videos could change my life for the better. ❤
20.) How do you take care of yourself when you are stressed?
Typically, I will take an anxiety medication to help me relax / relieve stress, and I will either lay and read a book, binge watch a favorite show – or Youtube, OR I’ll make Youtube videos, because while I’m making videos, I’m in the zone and not thinking about the things that are stressing me out and making me depressed or anxious.
21.) Five things I should do more often.
- Drink more water.
- Apologize when I know I’m wrong.
- Tell everyone that I love, that I love them because life is too short.
- Read.
- Write more. I love blogging, just like Youtube, it’s a great outlet for me. I feel like you guys listen to me and it’s nice to have that audience who seems to understand you.
22.) If you could live inside any tv show, what would it be?
Honestly I would pick Gilmore Girls. Stars Hollow is the perfect little magical town. Everyone is so friendly and quirky. The gazebo is amazing, Doosey’s market, Mrs. Kim’s antiques, the little movie theater… It’s just so great. I want to live there with all those characters so badly. I wish it were real. </3
23.) Make a list of five of your favorite songs right now.
- Dark Horses – Switchfoot
- Sparks – Hilary Duff
- This Means War – Nickelback
- September – Daughtry
- Animal I have Become – Three Days Grace
24.) What sets your soul on fire? What do you feel most passionate about?
Again, this goes back to Youtube and Blogging. I love both so much because they are wonderful outlets for me. But also, and FIRSTLY, being a mother. It is definitely trying most days, and there are some days I want to pull my hair out, but I love my little boy more than anything in this world and I would do anything and everything for him. He IS my world. ❤
25.) What are you most thankful for and why?
My fiance for taking care of both Alden and I. He works so hard to support us and I couldn’t be more thankful and lucky to have a guy like him. He told me he wanted me to stay at home with Alden, so the fact that he doesn’t mind being the sole provider for us is amazing to me. He really is the best man out there. I got really lucky.
