How are you LIKE your parents?

I am much like my parents in how we enjoy connecting with people through food and laughter.

How are you UNLIKE your parents?

I am unlike my parents, in which I have lived a privileged life - away from poverty, injustice, and violence.

Have you developed your own expectations for yourself, or if you were honest, would you say you're operating under someone else's expectations?

I believe that I am very much self-aware and operate on my values and expectations.

Outside of my parents, Naval Ravikant's perspective’s have had the most influence on how I live my own life.

The animal I most connect with is an Owl. Legend tribute to owls being old wise spirits. My parent has described me as highly independent and wise from an early age.

Connecting with the NATURE KINGDOMS: Describe a significant childhood encounter with a tree or plant.

I grew up in a conservative catholic household where the thought of marijuana was heavily frowned upon. as such, my first encounter with a marijuana plant was shocking - realizing that marijuana wasn't "evil" but just a plant - a beneficial one at that.
