LIEBSTER AWARD

Hello, my dear readers!

Here is an unexpected post from me in the midst of my September Poetry Series… We’re going to take a break for a moment and twist over to this nomination I received from the lovely Priya Singh (you can check her blog out here.)

While I have participated in the award process before, I thought it would be fun to give you guys some more content apart from the poetry series, so that you don’t think I’m just sitting around my room writing poetry all day long… (I promise, I’m not sitting there all day.) 🙂

So, without further ado, let’s look at the questions Priya asked and learn some answers.

1. In the world what is luckiest thing you have?

Well, this is an interesting question indeed! I am not sure if I have a luckiest thing… Sometimes I believe in luck, and other times I think that the world operates on our own actions. But if I had to pick something to answer the question, I would answer… When I’m feeling like I need some luck, I twist my earring a lot. Stupid, I know, but I think it’s more of a nervous tic rather than a lucky object.

2. Which subject are you most likely to study in everyday life?

I’m a Spanish major in college, but it’s definitely not my passion. I like learning a new language like Spanish, but I’m more drawn to writing. That being said, I am not a fan of studying creative writing (more on that to come), and I’m currently training to be a pilot, so I’d probably pick something related to aviation at this point in my life. If you’d asked me a few years ago, I would have said either history or English, but interests change!

3. Do you believe in luck?

I’m not sure! I definitely believe we have free will and our choices affect the consequences of our lives.

4. Your favorite author?

I have a post on this, which you can check out here! This question is hard for me, because I’ve read so many authors, and I really don’t have a favorite favorite. But if we look at this list, I’d consider William Faulkner, John Grisham, Liane Moriarty, Khaled Hosseini, and Gabriel García Márquez to be favorites. ❤

5. Do you like adventures?

Yes! I’m definitely an adventurous person, though in spurts. Also it depends on who I’m with (that was some grammatically incorrect English right there LOL). For example, when I’m with friends I’m more apt to do things that are “wild,” while with family I’ll tame it down. This probably makes me sound like a wild child, and I definitely am not that. Trust me, if I could, I’d live in a cabin in the middle of the mountains (near people, of course), but I do live off adventurous activities.

6. Your favorite food item

My favorite food item would probably be… Hmm. I really enjoy country fried steak, a staple of a good old fashioned Southern meal. Maybe it’s because I have spent so much time away from the South now, but this dish always makes me happier after I’ve eaten it.
