Take A Back Road

Survey. Killed about 3 hours at work.

30 Things:

To spice things up a little this month I will be posting something random about myself each day {or close to each day, I’ll try my hardest!}, according to the following list of questions I have conjured up. The idea is to record different parts of my personality for my posterity, and I guess you get to know me better by default. I think this’ll be super fun and I invite you to play along! I would LOVE to read what you have to say about yourself in regards to these questions, and get to know you better, too. This could potentially be very hilarious.

I’m also thinking this list would make a fun date night?

2. Describe 3 legitimate fears you have and explain how they became fears.

-My biggest fear is being used. I was molested by my grandfather for 8 years, almost 9, without realizing what was actually going on. Now I have a big problem with thinking that’s all any man wants from me. I’m working on it, and realizing I have that problem and where it stems from is the first step in getting better and overcoming my fear :)

-I’m terrified of tornadoes. When I was 5 or 6 I remember being on the highway, about mid-Indiana, on the way to my Nana’s house in Santa Claus, IN. It was about 10pm when I was awoken by my parents. There were 4 tornadoes surrounding us on the highway. Never again lololol.

-I have some sort of fear of success. I’m not used to doing well and am so used to only bein put down, that I only expect to do well for so long. I was never praised. Good job, Mom lolol

3. Describe your relationship with your parents.

-Kinda just did lol. But my father is a great man. I love him to death and take his opinion of me more seriously than anyone’s. He’s pretty much the reason that I am as great as I am ;)

My mom is a fail. lmfao. I should’ve added this to the last question, but becoming my mother is my worst fear, if that tells you anything lmao.

7. What is your dream job, and why?

-My dream job is to own my own zoo and run it. I have always loved animals and they’ve been my thing my whole life. I was never satisfied by just domestic animals, though.

It seems so effortless but it’s amazing.

-I’m very passionate about work. There’s not much else I take as seriously. I take pride in work because it’s a way to show that I’m worth something, other than what you can see every day. People depend on me and I get paid for it. I think it’s pretty great :)

-I’m extremely passionate about school and learning in general. I’m always looking for ways to expand my knowledge. I find learning to be one of the funnest things in life. I want to know everything. I’m hungry for everything the world could possibly have in store for me. Every experience, good and bad, throw it at me, I can take it <3 :)

-Lastly, I’m very passionate about my religion. And God in general. He put me on this Earth to do good things. He gave me the talents and the toold to harness them and make them stronger, and thats exactly what I intend on doing :)
