The Proust Questionnaire9/10/2018 There are many ways you can learn about another person, but sometimes it is just as simple and asking them. In my answers to the Proust questions, I have given some insight of who I am and the way I think.
__1.__What is your idea of perfect happiness? While I do not believe “perfect” happiness is realistic, I do think the closest I could get to it would be somewhere around this time of year. When I envision happiness I see myself surrounded by the smells that remind me of Halloween, walking along nature. __2.__What is your greatest fear? My greatest fear is the inevitability of death. Not only is it utterly horrifying that no one truly knows what happens when you die, but there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. __3.__What is the trait you most deplore in yourself? My incessant need to make sense of everything. On the other end, though, it is one of my favorite traits I harbor. __4.__What is the trait you most deplore in others? I do not tolerate ignorance. If I see someone mistreating another person, who has not hurt themselves or anything else, I lose my shit. __5.__Which living person do you most admire? I admire myself. I don’t mean that in a snobby way, I just enjoy the person I am. I see my flaws and constantly work to improve them. I work extremely hard to get to where I want to be and to be who I want to be. Although looking at another person for inspiration could be healthy and positive for others, I have found that looking to myself for strength and courage has been the most beneficial to my causes. I am the one who gives consent to how I feel and the things that I do, so it only makes sense that I admire myself. I have yet to find another person with every value I share that I “look up to”. __6.__What is your greatest extravagance? I find it really hard to resist the urge of spending money when it comes to shows. I am always in the mood for going to concerts. __7.__What is your current state of mind? Currently, I am in a decent state of mind. I don’t think I could commit to saying I am on any end of the spectrum. I’m just fine. __8.__What do you consider the most overrated virtue? I think chastity is the most overrated virtue. The stipulation around sex being a sacred thing is just a social construct men made to keep their women “pure” and “special”, when in reality our bodies were designed for it. As long as you are not hurting yourself or anyone else, I think that your body is yours to do as you please with it. __9.__On what occasion do you lie? I very seldom lie. I grew up Catholic so the fear of the Devil grabbing at my ankles at night if I told a lie was instilled into my brain at a young age. As I got older, I dropped my religion but still valued honesty. If I lie it is through omission, where the person who wants certain information does not necessarily own the right to it. __10.__What do you most dislike about your appearance? My chin. __11.__Which living person do you most despise? Donald Trump. I am not super political but he is a waste of precious resources. __12.__What is the quality you most like in a man? Sympathy. __13.__What is the quality you most like in a woman? Sympathy. __14.__Which words or phrases do you most overuse? “Close your eyes and open your mind.” __15.__What or who is the greatest love of your life? Myself. __16.__When and where were you happiest? At the top of the parking garage in West Chester. __17.__Which talent would you most like to have? To play the piano beautifully. __18.__If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? To let go of some things. __19.__What do you consider your greatest achievement? Getting here today. __20.__If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be? Myself. __21.__Where would you most like to live? Colorado, Oregon, or San Francisco. __22.__What is your most treasured possession? My hands. __23.__What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery? Where you are so displeased with who you are as a person, that rather than trying to help yourself, you try to bring others down. __24.__What is your favorite occupation? Getting to be an influencer of some kind. __25.__What is your most marked characteristic? My empathy. __26.__What do you most value in your friends? Trust. __27.__Who are your favorite writers? Emily Bronte & Dr. Seuss __28.__Who is your hero of fiction? The tree in The Giving Tree. __29.__Which historical figure do you most identify with? Honestly, I don’t know. __30.__Who are your heroes in real life? My friend, Angelina Farinella, is the strongest person I have ever met. She has endured so much loss and hardships, yet continues to push herself and help others. __31.__What are your favorite names? Stella, Sebastian, Scarlet, Violet, Harper. __32.__What is it that you most dislike? Ignorance. __33.__What is your greatest regret? I try not to feel regret towards any decisions I have made. __34.__How would you like to die? I wouldn’t. __35.__What is your motto? “There is balance in everything.”
