100 Questions

I found an old post from Rachel Coker’s blog and thought I’d try my hand at these hundred questions.

My brother

Definitely not.

6.    Who was the last person you had a deep conversation with?
My elder sister

Yes, I can be very suspicious of other people.

17.  Favorite part of your daily routine?
I like writing and reading (of course).

18.  What part of your body are you most uncomfortable with?
My chin and jawline. I was born with a very round face and now that I’m no longer underweight, it really stands out when I smile. I mean, I should really learn to love it someday but it’ll take a while.

I eat breakfast.

28.  Do you believe everyone deserves a second chance?

Yes, without a doubt. However, we do need to be careful around shady characters. Sure, I believe everyone should get a second chance when they mess up, but not a second chance to hurt you.
