Blog Post: Questions, with a slight chance of Answers

The Introduction

Hello again, dearest reader! As you might have noticed, I have been updating my blog quite recently with many varying bits and bobs of content. This time, however, I thought that we could do something different. When I say ‘we’, I actually mean you, the reader of this blog post. I only work here. You see, this is going to be a kind of mental questionnaire that you can fill in and answer in your own head. You don’t have to answer anything in the comments, just answer to yourself. Take your time, and really think about this. And be honest when answering; maybe this small game of ours will make you think about life from another perspective.

Sit down with a cup of your preferred drink, and put your thinking cap on. I ask, and you answer.

 

 

 

Who are you?

• What makes you, you?

• Do you have a definable personality, explainable in words?
  • Or is it more complicated than that?
• What are the things that have influenced you to be like you?

 

Are you happy?

• What makes you happy? Why?
• How much time do you spend doing the things that make you happy?
• What is happiness to you?
• Do you spread happiness?
• Is it something concrete, and explainable?
  • Or is it more complex or more simple than that, just your brain giving you a dose of dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins?

What are you good at?

• Do you have fears?
• What is it that you fear the most?

• Do you believe in love at first sight?

• Do you think people are predestined to love each other?

Closing words

Hello again friend! I see that you’ve made it to the end of my little thought experiment. I’ll save you from asking anymore questions at this point. However, consider leaving your overall thoughts as feedback! If you liked doing some mental arithmetic on a Monday (or whichever day you are reading this on), consider sharing this post to someone else!

Answering questions like the ones I’ve written above is quite the difficult task indeed. Our lives, and the things that affect and surround them are sometimes quite hard to pinpoint exactly. It is almost impossible to talk/think about your own life in only a few short thoughts and sentences.

I really hope you enjoyed this game of ours. Have a great rest of the week!
