violachicYeah! I know you are all excited for this very first Interactive Post!! WOOHOO!!!
Seeing as I don't have a paid account, and therefore no ability to post honest-to-goodness polls, and anyway my polls would be more the short-answer variety than the multiple choice, I am posting a few questions that I'd love if you guys could take the time to answer, if you feel compelled. You don't have to answer all of them, and you don't have to feel that I'm using them to judge you or anything. I am gathering information, I guess, trying to put a new spin on things that have been on my mind in one form or another for quite some time. These are not rhetorical questions. You are all intelligent, philosophical people, so feel free to split hairs, but try not to lose the forest for the trees. Ready? Ready?? Here we goooooo!!!!!!! Try not to have too much fun...
>1)Do you consider yourself happy?
2)On a scale of one to ten, how "easy" do you feel you have it in life? Do you ever wonder why other people think life is so hard? Do you ever envy other people who seem to have it easier?
3)What about life makes you happy? What about life makes it easy for you (or easier for you than for someone else)?
4)Conversely, what about life makes you unhappy or frustrated? What makes life hard (or harder for you than for someone else)?
5)If you had the chance, what specifically would you change, whether in your own life or someone else's- however idealistically- to make your life run more smoothly? If you are not happy, what would make you happy?
6)However idealistically, how do you wish your life were different? What changes would you make? Do you truly regret any choices you have made? What would you not trade for anything in the world, even if it meant retaining any pain that came with it?
7)What makes your life meaningful? What motivates you to get up in the morning (or afternoon, or whatever....)? If you don't think your life is meaningful, what would make it as such?
8)Do you ever wish that Amy would quit being so maudlin and dramatic and just get on with her life?
