- How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are? anywhere between 14 and 34
- Which is worse, failing or never trying? never trying
- 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? because it is not that short, and it's alright not to know the answers and be confused
- When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done? i'll definitely have more done than said (but not like it makes me better than those who'll have more said than done)
- What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world? discrimination and cruelty (but it is good to see the world as it is, imperfect, but going somewhere)
- If happiness was the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich? i would never be rich then (but it's alright, i don't think happiness is all there is to life), i love doing all those things that rip my soul and break my heart, and i'm definitely unable to pick one thing to do anyway
- Are you doing what you believe in, or are you settling for what you are doing? what i believe in
- If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently? hard to say... probably no
- To what degree have you actually controlled the course your life has taken? each year it is more and more under my control, but thankfully not quite. I wouldn't want to control it completely. I believe in humbleness and acceptance and that life is bigger than my ideas of it
- Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things? i know it is more important to worry about doing the right thing, but i still worry a lot about doing things right
- You’re having lunch with three people you respect and admire. They all start criticizing a close friend of yours, not knowing she is your friend. The criticism is distasteful and unjustified. What do you do? i hope i'll have enough strength to let them know that they are wrong about my friend, but anyway i will not be spending time with people who think lowly of my friends
- If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be? time wasted enjoying is not wasted time

- What’s something you know you do differently than most people? live my life as whole for better or for worse
- How come the things that make you happy don’t make everyone happy? the best part about being an individual is to be separated, to be alone
- What one thing have you not done that you really want to do? What’s holding you back? at this point i did all those things that i really wanted to do. and it's not that special of a life. i'm happy with my choices, but i think it is wrong of our society to be constantly making people think about that big great zone outside your comfort that has "real life" because if i learned something is that you live your life regardless of your achievements, inside your comfort zone or outside of it. do the thing, but it's not going to magically fix it all. And it is more important to fall in love with life - all of it, small things and big.
- Are you holding onto something you need to let go of? sometimes, but i'm about to let go, that was always too easy for me
- If you had to move to a state or country besides the one you currently live in, where would you move and why? anywhere where things might happen and they frequently do. why part is hard.. just because

- Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton? worried genius
- Why are you, you? a combination of genes, circumstances and some random choices (i'd like to believe in the last one)
- Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend? sometimes, but most of the time, no. i don't know why all this amazing people are willing to put up with me, but it's what i'm most grateful for
- Which is worse, when a good friend moves away, or losing touch with a good friend who lives right near you? both are sad and yet good altogether, friendship is a gift, and the fact that it doesn't last doesn't make it any less real, you're meant to lose people
- What are you most grateful for? for way too many things - for being alive, for people whom i love and who for some reason love me too, and so on
- Would you rather lose all of your old memories, or never be able to make new ones? lose all old ones, I'm always about the future, not past
- Is it possible to know the truth without challenging it first? I guess. i know that murdering someone will destroy my own life with guilt, there's no need to challenge that..
- Has your greatest fear ever come true? yes, i was seventeen, and i was destroyed
- Do you remember that time 5 years ago when you were extremely upset? Does it really matter now? it doesn't, but it was important then, i don't want to minimize my sadness because I grew out of it
- What is your happiest childhood memory? What makes it so special? it was my 4th birthday and my mom woke me up. everything about it is special - to be swimming in my mom's unconditional love, to know that i'm growing, to have a whole day filled with love ahead of me
- At what time in your recent past have you felt most passionate and alive? there is a difference but there are two moments that are coming to mind - when i was quitting college, eager to start living (i was a pure fire, i think i was destroying so many things that i touched) and during the training in summer (passionate and alive, but still..). it is nice to have it different now - calm, and different in all the meanings of the word
- If not now, then when? now. but there's going to be later too, and even if not, it's not going to matter

- If you just won a million dollars, would you quit your job? i don't have a job
- Would you rather have less work to do, or more work you actually enjoy doing? don't know, i'd rather have a freedom to choose the amount of work and the type of it
- Do you feel like you’ve lived this day a hundred times before? no
- When was the last time you marched into the dark with only the soft glow of an idea you strongly believed in? that's what i'm doing right now
- If you knew that everyone you know was going to die tomorrow, who would you visit today? no one, all the ones dearest are here, with me
- Would you be willing to reduce your life expectancy by 10 years to become extremely attractive or famous? maybe
- What is the difference between being alive and truly living? that's for a person to decide. sometimes you know that you are not living right now.
- When is it time to stop calculating risk and rewards, and just go ahead and do what you know is right? anytime, when it feels right
- If we learn from our mistakes, why are we always so afraid to make a mistake? it hurts hella lot, pain of mistakes and pain that you cause for others is sometimes unbearable, so it is wise to try not to make them
- What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you? did it all... Been judged by so many, stopped caring long time ago
- When was the last time you noticed the sound of your own breathing? now
- What do you love? Have any of your recent actions openly expressed this love? life as whole, people whom i love. And it is impossible to express the love - it simply fills you completely, and it doesn't need to be expressed, it's not some dumb hollywood movie
- In 5 years from now, will you remember what you did yesterday? What about the day before that? Or the day before that? maybe not, and it's fine with me and it doesn't make all those days any less important because there's nothing to remember about them
- Decisions are being made right now. The question is: Are you making them for yourself, or are you letting others make them for you? i'm making them myself
