The First Five of the 50 Q's

Thought I'd answer some questions while I'm in the writing mood.
One of my goals is to answer one of the 50 Questions That Will Free Your Mind every week til it's done.
So I'll go ahead and start on that.

1. How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?

I guess I'd probably say 27. I feel pretty much my age in some aspects, but in others, not so much. I feel like I act older than I am, but I definitely look my age, or there about. So, 27. (I'm 25)

2. Which is worse, failing or never trying?

Well, I think it hurts worse to fail, for sure. It can definitely take an emotional toll on you to fail. But never trying- well, that does a different kind of damage. By playing it safe and never going after your dreams, and taking that risk of failing, you aren't really living life to the fullest. Which is the whole point of living, right? So I guess I'm going to go with never trying. You will never get stronger if you don't try.

3.If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do?

I think we get caught up in what is expected of us. Somewhere along the line of humanity, someone decided we should be living the way someone else tells us to, and working to make someone else happy. Now, it seems there is not many ways to survive without fitting into this category. I think this one goes hand in hand with the last question. So many people are afraid to fail, and never take a chance to break free.

4.When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

Definitely. I'm such a dreamer. I say I'm going to do things that I never do, mostly because I change my mind before I decide to do those things. But I guess, even beyond that, I know that I don't try everything I want to do because I'm afraid to fail.

5.What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world?

I'd like to make people more considerate of others. If people considered others, and were kind to others, so many kids wouldn't feel the need to kill themselves because of bullying. There would be less car wrecks, murders, and anger in the world.
I guess on the flip side, I'd toughen people up a bit. The world isn't sunshine and butterflies, all the time, and I think that some kids never learn that. You've got to have confidence in yourself, don't let what someone else things about you impact your own opinion of yourself. They don't know you as well as you know you.
