The kind of person who makes up a song about Arby’s big beef and cheddar, and then sings it happily while devouring said sandwich.
Without the bun, of course!

In this lesson, I decided to just answer the questions/prompts and not write out a separate post.

What is standing in your way right now?
What would happen if you overcame the obstacle? More importantly, what would happen if you didn’t (think broadly: emotionally, physically, financially, etc.)?
Can you reframe the most pressing current obstacle as simply a to-do list? In other words, in order to overcome this, what do you need to learn? What tasks do you need to perform? Who do you need to convince?
Are obstacles really just fears holding you back?
In some cases, definitely.
What is the longest-running obstacle in your life?
What steps have you used to make progress toward overcoming it? How far have you come with it? What do you wish would happen? How would that be possible?
I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 33. It was a huge, lifechanging experience, and I emerged from it a different person. That was the first time I was forced to truly contemplate my mortality, and it changed the way I saw myself and the world around me. I started talking to acquaintances (and even strangers) out of the blue. I started building new friendships. I become more confident. In a lot of ways, it feels like being reborn. I finally understood just how little time we really have to live, and I knew I had to start seizing the day – every single day.
I have a hard time relating much to the person I was before.
What is the biggest obstacle you faced in your past? Did you overcome it? If so, how? If not, why?
Outside of all the cancer drama, I would say the biggest obstacle in my past was a childhood full of abuse and neglect. My parents were alcoholics and drug addicts. At a certain point, neither of them were working, and I was the only one bringing in any money. I had three younger siblings I was trying my best to raise, while maintaining a high GPA (in the hopes of going to college and escaping), and working as much as possible.
I honestly don’t know how I overcame it. I just worked SO FUCKING HARD. I never gave up. I set my eyes on the prize (college) and didn’t stop until I got what I wanted. Looking back on it, I am amazed by my dedication and strength. I was kind of a badass.
I wish I had been a veterinarian instead of an attorney.
My neighbor bought this and left it on my doorstep because it apparently reminded her of me.
Oof.
She’s been way friendlier since she spied us naked with our friends on Halloween. She wants to “hang out.” 😂
I think dogs’ feet smell good.
I also love the way it smells when a skunk sprays.
I don’t like to touch coins or cotton balls.
I think vinegar is the devil’s elixir.
I either feel everything or nothing. I have no chill.
Books, pets, burritos, and music. My favorites.
PAY ATTENTION TO ME!! 😂
Unless you are one of my besties, I almost always only make plans with others when I’m drunk, and then I’m always annoyed about it when I’m sober again. But I’ve found the only way to get myself to be social is to commit to things when my inhibitions are down. I’m content to stay home like 98% of the time. Other people are exhausting.
