	April's 5 Questions from Christina[1]


	CHRISTINA: 1. Can you miss what you never had?

	XILED: There was this wonderful place on this hill where I used to
	sit. The hill was underneath some trees, which provided
	cover from the sky, with rays of sunlight poking in here and
	there. There was this girl. She knew me and I knew her and
	we belonged together and to each other. We sat on the hill in
	meditation, and became intertwined with the being and
	experience of each other. We loved each other. When I came
	out of meditation, she had left. I have not seen her since.
	The reason she left was because I woke up. I still miss her.

	CHRISTINA: 2. Have you reinvented yourself after the end of a long
	personal (cohabiting) relationship? If not, do you
	know someone who has? Describe the steps of
	reinvention.

	XILED: a. Try something.
	b. Stand.
	c. Fall.
	d. Get back up.
	e. Assess results
	f. Take appropriate actions.
	g. Keep trying something and repeat from a.

	CHRISTINA: 3. I most look forward to book-trawling and geocaching
	with new local (and old local, like Washington State!)
	friends. What do you most look forward to doing when
	restrictions end?

	XILED: Reconnecting with friends over coffee.

	CHRISTINA: 4. What's the best surprise you received in March 2021?

	XILED: On reflection of February, the idea that I can write music.
	I ended February with 3 original songs. This stayed with me
	throughout March and even now.

	CHRISTINA: 5. How many interests (i.e. passions, activities, hobbies,
	pursuits) at minimum should a person have to be
	interesting? What percentage of shared interests
	renders a person appealing or intriguing to you?

	XILED: I haven't really thought of people this way. 0? I get drawn
	to people m0ar based on their character (or lack there of) and
	their principles (or lack thereof.) People completely
	opposite of me can be very intriguing, especially if we can
	learn to understand and appreciated each other's differences.
