Q&a | girl meets life.

a to z.

I’m a sucker for a good survey. Remember how much fun they were back in the MySpace days? Just me? Okay…

Anyway, I saw this one on Janetha’s blog and knew I had to steal it. So here ‘goes!

A. Attached or Single?

Single. (But since when is the opposite of single attached? Haha.)

seven and eight {of fifty}.

7. Are you doing what you believe in, or are you settling for what you are doing?

Gosh, these questions are getting pretty deep, huh? Well let’s see…

I can honestly say that yes – I’m doing what I believe in. Although my full-time job in real estate appraisals isn’t necessarily my passion,

six: do what you love.

6. If happiness was the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich?

“Do what you love, do it in the most adventurous place, and make sure it helps other people.”

Well, that’s a simple one. The answer is FreelyBe, which is quickly coming to fruition. Not only is

five: what i’d change.

Umm, yeah. Totally forgot about this fifty question challenge…after being four questions in.

Dumb blonde? Subconscious commitment-phobe? I’m not really sure what happened.

Anyway, here’s number five.

5. What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world?

Well this is quite the loaded question – one that I’m

so you want to live in nyc: the social life.

Let’s be real – trying to make new friends can always be a little bit awkward. When we were in kindergarten it was perfectly acceptable to tap someone on the shoulder and say “hi, wanna play?” As adults, that statement would probably weird most people out, to say the least.

And, unfortunately, living in one

so you want to live in nyc: the apartment.

Ever since I moved to New York, the majority of emails I get from readers are about life here – getting an apartment, a job, making friends, etc. While I’m definitely no expert (yet), I have picked up a thing or two that might be helpful, so I figured it was about time to do

four: walk the walk.

4. When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

Um, ouch?

Talking the talk but not walking the walk is one of the things I fear doing the most…especially in the age of social media where what you say can essentially reach millions of people. I’m

3. If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do?

My answer to this question boils down to three things:

…because of money. …because of others’ expectations of us. …because of our own expectations of ourselves.

There’s not much

two: if you never try…

2. Which is worse, failing or never trying?

I think that this quote I came up with last year pretty much sums up my answer.

I didn’t start living by this mantra until about two years ago. In fact, before that, my life was quite the opposite. I don’t even think I’d

fifty questions: number one.

A few months ago Emily answered a series of fifty questions on her blog, and the idea of doing the same has been in the back of my mind ever since. I avoided the little "project” because I try to keep things on GML fun and, well…slightly mindless, so to speak. But, who says I
