20. What's something that you know that few other people know?

Well, it depends on your definition of 'few,' but I was in the Peace Corps in Bolivia and got some training in Quechua, the indigenous language of central Bolivia (and Jabba the Hut!) and compared to other languages, I suppose fewER people know it.

I know how not to get mad in traffic. I never get mad in traffic or at bad drivers or any of that. I just don't care. We're all trying to get home in one piece (for a wide range of definitions of 'home').


I used a Random Question Generator to create this list: https://randomwordgenerator.com/question.php

1. What have you been thinking about lately that has kept you up at night?
2. What's the story behind why you replaced the last phone you had?
3. What's something that you know you should start, but haven't?
4. How would you spend $1,000 to give the most happiness to the most number of people possible?
5. What's most important to you about your school/work environment?
6. Would you feel comfortable showing me the photos on your phone?
7. What uncommon thing would you like to see become more common?
8. What's the most interesting thing you have in your pockets right now?
9. What part of the human face do you look at when you talk to someone?
10. When you want to escape from everyone, where do you go?
11. How do you think your reality differs from others you know?
12. What's a food you vow never to eat?
13. What argument did you have that looking back on was absolutely ridiculous?
14. What part of history do you find most interesting?
15. At what age did you think you become an adult and when do you actually think you did?
16. What do you like to do that's considered touristy?
17. What is the most recent life lesson you've learned?
18. What's something uncomfortable but you feel everyone should experience at least once in their life?
19. What do you secretly hoard?
20. What's something that you know that few other people know?
Do you believe there is only one other person in the world for you or many?

Oh I've heard of the Peace Corps, but what is it about? I know I could do an online search but I prefer having a conversation with a human.

Two things:

One, I LOVE that you did the Peace Corps. When I was younger it was one of my dreams to serve, but I wasn't remotely confident enough to pursue it seriously. I really admire that you had that confidence and would love to hear more about your experiences, if you want to share.

As for bad drivers, I've always told myself that I can't control how others drive, but I can control how I react to them. It keeps me mellow most of the time. Bad traffic is frustrating but again, there's no point in getting worked up over it.
