six questions.

29. Can you determine your ‘arrivals’ from your departures?
Honestly I can't. I've lived abroad for a good amount of time since turning 18, and the last trip I took back to New York, I felt as though this was just an extended trip. I've was born and raised on Long Island, but I've never felt as though I was part of this place. So, while at the airport these two terms relate to one leg of a journey, I can't apply these terms to my actual life anymore as they seem to blend together.

48. Are you afraid of ‘getting busted’ on face book?
Not really. I feel as though if I was 'busted' for something that is seen on Facebook or anywhere online, the situation I'm in probably wasn't the best for me anyways. I know one of the paths to happiness for me is being comfortable in who I am and what I'm able to share with people.

53. Are you a traditionalist? Would you like to ‘find the one’ and replicate your bourgeois family structure?
I always feel like I want to 'do things differently' and progressively, but I always have those dreams of finding the perfect guy and living a comfortable life in a beautiful house with wonderful children and all. I'd like to be able to convince myself that I'd be fine without all of this, but I don't think it's true.

62. Do you envy those who travel?
I'd be a hypocrite to say I did, since I travel a lot myself. I do find myself complaining and being jealous of people that seem to travel more than I do and go to places I haven't been. I associate myself with a lifestyle that doesn't allow me to stay in one place for a long time and feel like I constantly want to be on the move.

83. Do you think there are starving children across town?
Definitely. The town I live in is generally regarded as "utopia" but once you go beyond the train tracks "uptown", it's a whole different place. The poverty and struggle that exists there is hardly spoken of in the richer part of town and whether this is out of ignorance or not, I don't always know.

89. Do you think society makes a big deal of gay lifestyles?
In the way they perceive it as wrong, yes. I've grown up around the gay community and actually seem to have more gay friends than straight, so when I first came across hatred towards the gay community as a child, I didn't understand it - as I've never differentiated between a straight couple and a gay one.
