I saw Jamie over at Perpetual Page Turner do an if we were meeting for coffee and I liked it so much I thought I would do one of my own.
So come on, and I will make you a cup of Death Wish Coffee and we can stay up all night chatting!
If we were meeting for coffee I would tell you how I JUST finished reading Introvert Power and it was mind blowing. I was all like THIS IS ME! I have been chasing happiness based on the American extroversion idea and needless to say, I wasn’t very happy. After reading this book I now see why. I need to figure what makes Hillary happy and not what makes other people happy. I would ask you, has a book ever gave you an epiphany like this?
If we were meeting for coffee I would tell you how I so much want to go to bookish events (BEA, National Book Fair etc) but I am terrified because I am profoundly Deaf and communicate in American Sign Language (ASL). I know I should not let this hold me back but I do. I need to work on this. I would ask you have you ever had this kind of fear and how did you overcome it?
If we were meeting for coffee I would tell you how this getting healthy is way harder than I ever thought it would be. I have ate crap and smoked a pack a day for all of my adult life and it finally caught up with me last year. I started Paleo and quit smoking. 6 months later and I still miss eating junk food and smoking. Like when I am up late typing I want a gallon drum of diet coke and a giant pizza and a pack of Newport’s but I resist. My health has improved dramatically and I am thankful for that. I would ask you if you what goal have you made that you found way harder than you thought possible?
If we were meeting for coffee I would tell you how I am GLAD I FINALLY beat depression and anxiety. I was diagnosed with bipolar in 2007 and it had been a long hard road clawing myself out of hell but I MADE IT! I am finally at a place where I am genuinely happy with my life and I no longer curse God and my parents for putting me here on this earth. One of my wishes is for everyone with a mental illness to experience a full recovery. I would ask you, what tough obstacles have you overcome?
If we were meeting for coffee I would tell you how I am petrified about becoming a freelance writer. It has been my dream since I was little and I am now chasing it. As scared as I am I know if I don’t try I will regret it much more than if I tried and failed. I would ask you, what is your big dream?
