I like all my friends for different reasons, so it’s hard to pick one quality I value most highly overall.
Those who are both loyal and can cook.
Being able to share a confidence.
Seeing and being seen.
I honestly don’t have a particular fear. We must live life without limits, and fear can become a limit.
Sometimes I follow my instincts more than my reason.
I don’t like false or opportunistic people.
Happiness is a journey that depends solely on ourselves. We should be grateful to life because so much that it has in store for us will be marvelous and we have the good fortune to live it.
I’m defined as a very strong woman. I don’t identify myself with a specific figure, but I do greatly admire people who manage to persevere with humility through great difficulties.
I would like to be less impulsive.
