72. What’s the difference between being alive and truly living?
To me, being alive is just that - you are breathing, your heart beating, etc., but just going with the flow - not really adding to the world or getting much out of it. If you are just alive, you will look back and wonder where all the time went. Living is experiences, seeking to achieve your dreams, failing, succeeding, gaining experience and wisdom, laying on your death bed with absolutely no regrets.

Read. I absolutely love getting lost in books.

Never trying... because you'll never know
76. What makes you feel incomplete?
Feeling like I have no idea where I come from
77. When did you experience a major turning point in your life?

79. If you had the opportunity to get a message across to a large group of people, what would your message be?
That it is not our place to judge people - we need to accept people as they are and not judge them and try to make them who we want them to be.
80. What’s something you know you can count on?
I know I can count on my friends and family supporting me no matter what I do... They love me :)

I would have to say that I feel like I was settling before with my full time job, but that I am now moving towards doing what I believe in with my photography.
87. What’s something that used to scare you, but no longer does?

94. When you’re 90-years-old, what will matter to you the most?
My family
