So I finally made my sticky post with all the puzzles that DW friends recommended during the Snowflake Challenge. So today's prompt is...

DAY 1: random question generator: https://randomwordgenerator.com/question.php


I forgot to add the questions! I really am scrambled today.

Day 21: Do you believe there is only one other person in the world for you or many?

(Except in fanfic for fun) I don't believe in soulmates or that everyone has one (and only one) soulmate. There are many different combinations and permutations, and life is long for some and cut short for others, so NO (not only one) and NO (not many either)! The concept of soulmates also interjects magic where hard work and emotional maturity and many other elements related to individuals and the society they live in matter more.


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?

A wise answer to day 21 :-)

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Thank you! You can certainly meet people magically. And I think the initial crush/fascination often feels like magic but that doesn't sustain any relationship for any real length of time. But sometimes I think as young people we believe the stories or films or TV shows which offer this kind of magic and imply that it's forever and only with one person (and usually of the opposite sex) and that seems very narrow and misguided in terms of representing reality.
