Prompt Answer: Eating Meat

What are your feelings about eating meat?

I’m a recovered vegetarian who was raised in a quasi-occasionally kosher household. It’s weird in my life.

Anyway, I don’t mind eating some meat. Poultry, bison, deer, beef, pork in many forms, that’s all good. Fish… I’m a little more wobbly on.

Shellfish hates me, like sea bugs (shrimp). But I love clam chowder?

So. If it’s meaty, it’s eat-y to me. I’ll try anything once that will not try to kill me.

Prompt Answer: Prefer Beach or Mountains

Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why?

Is both an option? Or forests instead?

I like natural areas that make me feel insignificant and small.

Now, places I’ve been like that? The Gulf of Mexico, Tampa Bay, the Atlantic Ocean, Lake Okeechobee, Lake Michigan… but I don’t like the traditional beach. Surf, sand, and people are not my cup of relaxation tea.

Mountains are wonderful. Huge and overwhelming and just a little terrifying to drive in or through.

Prompt Answer: Instincts

Do you trust your instincts?

Yes, I trust my instincts/intuition… for the most part.

There are times where people have showed me who they really are and I thought I could make them better or help them grow past their pain despite my gut telling me they’re only going to change on their own terms.

Prompt Answer: First Impression

What’s the first impression you want to give people?

The first impression I want to give people is that I am someone kind and clever.

I have brain gremlins that are lying bastards sometimes, so the last thing I want people to see is a useless, unkind person. I work actively, trying to be a good person, heal from my past, and better myself and the world around me in the future.

I’m not perfect, nor do I strive for perfection. I strive for growth, joy, and resilience.

I don’t know what first impression I actually give off these days.
