I randomly decided to ask some of my fellow friends/fools some questions. Call them interview questions if you will, but the idea randomly came to me when I was bored at work. I've always enjoyed meeting people and getting to know them and reflect upon the similarities and differences between myself and these people. It's amazing because in the end we all have dreams, fears, desires, hopes, failures, success, etc. We all have stories to share. So here are some lame questions that I randomly generated......
***Disclaimer. These questions literally just came up in my head. No motives or shenanigans involved
First Guest....we will call him Cyril (Inside Joke)
What are your three big goals within the next year or so?
Goal #1: Declare a major.
Goal #2: Pass every class with at least a B.
Goal #3: Find a nice place with cheaper rent than The Republic Apartments.
As a gay man, what do you fear most and what do you wish to change about
society and yourself?
As a gay man I fear persecution most and being in a place where my entire support
system is gone. I wish our society didn’t care so much about things that don’t matter.
We worry ourselves with things we shouldn’t especially when it comes to celebrities.
There’s a lot I wish to change about myself, however, the biggest thing would probably
be my lack of confidence. Cliche but everyone can improve in this area.
What do you think is your ultimate purpose in life?
I’ve always felt that I was meant to help another person (or other people) overcome
similar challenges that I’ve faced.
Do you feel it is more important to be honest or to do what is right?
I believe honesty is the most important.
What is something that you take for granted that you may not express?
I feel that I have a tendency to take my loved ones for granted. I wouldn't be anywhere
without my family who supports me and the friends who help me grow. I struggle to find
ways to show my appreciation. Sometimes a simple “thank you” doesn't feel adequate.
What is something in your life that you wish to have with you always?
I wish to always have a collection of old pictures. There’s nothing better than
discovering old family photos.
In dating or seeking to get married, what do you look for in another person, and
what holds you back from taking the “leap?”
If I’m honestly considering to date someone I look for qualities such as selflessness,
honesty, or just a great sense of humor. More importantly, I look for someone who
understands what it means to struggle and who can overcome heartache. Life is both
beautiful and tragic and when you decide to share it with another be sure that the both
of you are ready to handle it together.
What do you think is something you wish to succeed in?
I would like to succeed in school.
What do you think the most important lesson is that life has taught you?
The most important lesson that I’ve learned so far is that determination gets you to
where you want to be. Also not to give up. There’s always a solution to a problem.
What is holding you back from being yourself 100% to all those you know? If
applicable, why haven’t you “come out?”
What is holding me back from being truly expressive of myself is my deep fear of
loneliness and with that comes the fear of being rejected by loved ones. I don’t know
that I’ll ever truly come out but I know that most secrets (especially ones about who you
really are) don’t stay secrets for long.
What is the biggest misconception you think the general American public has
with being a homosexual?
I think that the biggest misconception of being gay is that homosexuality is the result of
having a dysfunctional relationship with their parent or guardian of the same sex.
Do you think marriage is something that is important?
Yes, marriage is sacred vow of love between two people, however, I feel that is may not
be for me.
Are you happy? Truly?
No. I’ll get there.
What is something that you take for granted that you may not express?

That we chose this lifestyle
What is holding you back from being yourself 100% to all those you know? If applicable, why haven’t you “come out?”
This goes back to the other question I feel like this is the right thing to do verses being overly honest because I know to some in my family this would bring discomfort but if asked I would tell the truth
Do you think marriage is something that is important?
I do think marriage is super important and it's not taken serious as it use to be
Are you happy? Truly?
As of right now i am truly full and happy of course I can always be happier but at this stage in life and at this moment I am content.
Thanks for participating guys :) After reading through your answers and thinking it over I have one realization.................................................................
I'll do my own answers to some of these questions at some point. Adios!
