Five more of the 50 questions that will free your mind. I kind of forgot about these. 🙂
#21. Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton?
Joyful simpleton, undoubtedly. The nature of being a worried genius sounds unhappy, and it’s not that life always needs to be happy but I’d rather be sustained by joy than burdened by worry.
#22. Why are you, you?
Man. So what makes me Stephanie A. Orefice and not some other person? I guess the conflict I feel. If there was one word to describe the inner workings of myself, I’d have to say tension. I love glitter, sparkles, flowers, rainbows, sunshine, wind in my hair, ocean at my toes… but I feel so deeply grieved most of the time, not just by people in my life but for them. I don’t know if people really realize the war that rages on inside of me at any given time, but I think that is a key factor in why I am who I am.
#23. Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend?
Yes. Sometimes I talk more than I would like other people to, but that’s probably it. Aside from that I think I give my friends what I’d hope they will or perhaps one day will give back. The only part is the talking part. Sigh. I talk so much.
#24. Which is worse, when a good friend moves away, or losing touch with a good friend who lives right near you?
The latter. Most of my best friends live nowhere near me, and I know that distance can’t actually destroy the truth of real, lifelong love and friendship. Losing touch with someone who lives near you means something has changed or been unresolved or something. That breaks my heart more than a good friend moving away, because most of my good friends haven’t lived close enough to experience that heartbreak.
#25. What are you most grateful for?
The love of Christ; not just his love for me, but the love I can share with others and they can give me all through him. It kind of swirls around all aspects of life once it seeps in, and I’m so blessed because of that.
