Okay, wow. Maybe I should think about these questions more. I am going to take this again when I am not in a rush and when I am actually fully awake.


Look at Marcel Proust's answers when he was 13 years old. He really knows what he's talking about. And his answers seem so much more in-depth and educated. He really knows a lot about himself. And well, I don't. That's the reason I have this blog, so that I can learn more about myself and to share it!
