21. Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton? They say that ignorance is bliss. I'm not sure I believe that. The reason I don't think I believe that is because in the past I have turned a blind eye and let myself be ignorant and in the end it burned me. I think that knowledge is power. True, maybe you worry more. But I like going into things now with both eyes wide open. I think I'd choose the worried genius.
22. Why are you, you? I think I'm me because of my experiences and the people I've met in my life. I think part of what makes me me is the family I come from, part of it is the friends I've had and have now and part is just what I've been through in my life. All of these things are what make me, me.
23. Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend? I think I have. I've had some hard times with friendships but when I look back over why they ended I feel that I did what was right for the friendship and that it wasn't taken the right way. I think that I'm an honest, trustworthy, loyal friend and that's what I want in a friend as well. So yes, I think I've been the kind of friend I would want as a friend.
24. Which is worse, when a good friend moves away, or losing touch with a good friend who lives right near you? Definitely losing touch with a good friend who lives right near you. With technology these days it's so easy to stay in touch and so I think even if friends move away you can still keep in touch pretty easily. But I think it's so sad when you lose touch with a good friend, especially when you live near enough to see each other often.
25. What are you most grateful for? So many things. It's really easy to complain about the bad parts of my life. I mean, divorce isn't easy or happy, having unsupportive family is lame, not being exactly where I want to be in my life isn't great. But I have a roof over my head, I have a job that helps me pay my bills, I'm getting an education and I have some really great friends. There are so many people in this world that have so little so I guess I'm grateful that I have as much as I do. It's a blessing even though sometimes it doesn't seem that way. I'm grateful for my life.

Great answers!!
I'd go for the worried genius, as well. The simpleton may be joyful, but does he/she ever progress or reach the unreachable dream? I'd say no. Perhaps a middle ground would be nice. :/
you're a good friend to me!! :)

i think i might go for simple, lord knows i'm no scholar, and who needs the stresses and pressure of being a genius!
I am incredibly grateful for my life even with the not so great things in it too.
I'd like to think of myself as a loyal friend too - good friends are so important!

Hmm, that first question gave me food for thought. I think I'm with you though, I'd rather know than be left in the dark. I'm compulsive like that I guess.
Gosh, I know I always say this -- but I absolutely LOVE this series of posts! :)
I love these questions. Who the heck came up with them? They're so interesting to read about and think about.
wow. that worried genius one is tough. because i worry too much anyway, but i'm certainly not a genius. i don't know what would be better!
I wish I was blissfully ignorant sometimes, but then again ignorance is one of the traits I despise most in others.
These are some really great, insightful questions. I can see where they would be useful to reflect on yourself. I love the way you answered because I can tell that you really thought about the person you are.

losing a friend who lives close by is definitely worse especially in this day and age. Hope you are having a wonderful day.
Losing touch with a friend who is close by is definitely hard. Sometimes it's so easy to become passive and just let life get in the way.
Gratitude is the only quality I admire most, and you have got it, lady. You amaze and inspire me.
Losing touch with close friends in general just stinks!
Funny, the first one I've asked myself so many times. Not that I consider myself a "worried genius" by any means, but sometimes I wonder if it'd be nice to not question things and be worry-free. Have to say though that having knowledge and brain-power can lead to higher highs, even if that means they come with lower lows...I think it's worth it though! Great set of questions yet again love!

Great answers! Especially the first one...I agree! Ignorance is not bliss, and it usually leads to trouble. Knowledge is power...and knowing is a lot more fun!
I'm so guilty of losing touch with friends who live nearby--it's something I keep meaning to change, but life gets busy and then before I know it another month has gone by.
Definitely feel the friend thing. That is so so hard.
Beautiful! :)
