Coocoo!
Very happy to see you here for your weekly dose of “meeting someone different”.
This week’s interview made me feel some type of way. It is a thought into the mind of someone who is very open with their (own perceived) flaws. We were all dropped on this planet as little worms with no idea how to live our lives. At least for me it can be daunting sometimes and yes one of the oldest meme of memes continues to hold true:
That’s why I value this community so much. There is no need to “make it look like the my social media Persona is living the best life, to all my followers who I don’t even know, while in reality I feel like shit” or “I will mouth what the public opinion is on this topic because if I doubt that I will be put on the black and white scale and who is not for is against while I just want to exchange thoughts”.
Rather it is about being true and showing the way one really feels and thinks. There is tolerance and respect. We are all completely the same and different in every second.
Kiisssses and enjoy!

If you could describe yourself in 3 words what would that be?
Introspective, engaging and interesting.
What does being introspective mean to you?
Reflecting on my life and recognising my flaws.
What has been the most surprising "flaw" you have recognised and what steps did you take afterwards?
A flaw of mine is not trusting people, including myself. I have started to make my own decisions especially about money and not spending it. I used to spend 100 a week at least on games on my phone.
Would you say it is a fault of the makers of these games to make spending money so easy?
Maybe partially, but I shouldn't have been buying the stuff for the games. I recently deleted another game I downloaded.
Why do you think you got hooked to the game?
It looked kind of fun.
Do you think that playing games is something that is addictive?
Yes.
What do you enjoy most doing?
Reading.
What is your favourite book?
Don't really have a favourite book as much as a favourite author, which is John Grisham.
Do you think people read enough?
No, but most people don't have the time, or make the time.
What do you think is the benefit of reading?
I think it increases your brain activity.
If you could give one piece of advice what would that be?
Don't believe that you are nothing.
I love that. Do you have any resolutions for the new year?
To read as many autobiographies as I can and I'm starting with Michael J Fox.
What do you like about him?
He doesn't let having Parkinson's Disease get him down. He was the voice of Stuart Little, the voice of Chance on Homeward Bound. After Michael J Fox I am going to read about Sally Field and then Demi Moore.
Specifically interested in actors?
Anyone who has an autobiography. I also have Johnny Cash ordered, and Teddy Roosevelt and Yellowtail, an Indian medicine man. But yes in looking through my list there are a lot of actors and actresses.
Do you think we judge other people's flaws harder than our own?
Some people maybe.
Do you?
No. I have a very low self-esteem and I'm neurotic so I blame myself for everything that goes wrong in at least my family.
Could I remind you of your own advice to others!
Ok, sorry.
