What kind of cake do you like most? 🍰
I absolutely LOVE fruit cakes! 😩🤤
For my birthday every year, I make my own cake from scratch, and almost always it has fruit of some kind in it. One year, it was a lemon blueberry cake with lemon icing which is probably the best cake I’ve ever made. Then another year, it was a apple spice cake with cinnamon buttercream, and then there was a peach cobbler type cake which had brown sugar and cinnamon in it alongside the actual peaches. (Pictured below). I try to come up with different variations every year to make it fun and interesting! 😋
I would post more pictures of cakes I’ve made but unfortunately, many of them have the candles on them showing my age, which I, of course, don’t want. 😬

Would your answers or the frequency of your answers change if your followers received a massive notification of your answer in the middle of their screen all the time? Would you be more considerate in what you post? 😆 Would you share less personal information, or would you not care about it? 💪🏼
Hm, I don’t think it’d change the answers themselves, as I don’t share many personal things on here, and if I do, I’m vague. For example, I have a chronic illness, but I will never disclose what it is online, nor will I share what meds I’m on, or much of the symptoms I have, as I do not want or need random strangers giving me unsolicited medical advice. Another example: I do not share my name, age, what state I live in, etc, nor do I share anything about my family, for my privacy and for theirs. From the time I joined ask, I only ever posted the information I felt comfortable with, and that I want on a public platform.
But I definitely do think it’d change the frequency and the quantity! Not like I want to spam people with a bunch of posts all the time, that would get very frustrating. I know I wouldn’t like that with the people I follow on here. 🥴 So I’d for sure be more considerate about it, maybe even have schedule where I post maybe a handful of questions, then wait a few days, post another small handful. Or whatever seemed to work best! ☺️

Do you find it easy to show your feelings? 😇
When I truly feel safe with people, I find it a bit easier to show my feelings, but not exactly easy… If that makes sense. 🤔
I tend to have a hard time being vulnerable, as I have often felt like my emotions/feelings are too much or too negative for people. So even when I trust someone, I still struggle to get through expressing what I’m actually feeling, because I worry I’m overwhelming them, or dumping everything on their lap and they won’t appreciate it. Even when it’s obviously not true, I know my loved ones better than that. But my brain has a sneaky way of telling me otherwise. 😟
I think though, over the last few years, I’ve improved with this. Like, I have leaned into being more vulnerable with people I’m close to, and even if it doesn’t come easy expressing things, I still do it. Some of my friends specifically have played a huge role in helping me realize I’m not too much… and regardless of what I’m feeling, it’s better to say it than bottle it up, which I did a lot growing up. So, I’m very grateful! It’s helped me a lot, and it’s allowed me some very fulfilling and needed moments of vulnerability. ☺️

Have you ever played pool? 🎱
I have, yes! Not for a while though. I used to “play” with my dad when I was younger, but that was largely him teaching me. I was decent I guess, I definitely feel I’d do better now that I’m older though. Or at least I’d like to think so! 😂
However, I did watch my family play a round of pool this weekend, while at an airbnb! It was a lot of fun even to watch! I had intended on playing, but we ran out of time. 🎱

Have you made your sunscreen debut? If not, when do you usually? ☀️
I most certainly have made my sunscreen debut! Probably in the last month or so, I’ve been wearing it a lot more. But recently, being out of town, and being outside a whole lot in general, I’ve worn it every day. ☀️
Happy May ☀️🌷
Happy May! 😌
How long would you say you need to date your partner before you get married? (your personal opinion)
Hm, I don’t know to be honest. Marriage isn’t the end goal of a relationship for me. I’d be happy if I just dated someone for the rest of my life, honestly. I mean, I know people in my family who never got married and just had one partner for their whole lives regardless. And it makes things a lot easier if you were to separate, you don’t need to worry about divorce and how messy that can be. 😅
But, to give you some kind of answer, I’d say maybe 7-10 years? It seems like a reasonable amount of time, you get to have a lot of memories/experiences together, you really get to know someone well, likely get a chance to live together for a while, see how much of your goals, futures, etc, align, and so on. 🤔
Now, I’m not in a relationship, so this could go right out the window in the future, but at the moment, that’s what I’m thinking. I just really want both my partner and I to be totally confident that this is the right decision for us. ☺️

Who told you about Askfm?
Nobody told me specifically about it, it was casually mentioned in a Twitch stream I was watching a couple years ago, and I happened to look it up, thought it looked interesting, and decided to join. Not the most exciting story, but that’s how I heard about it. ☺️
Say you were gonna be a speaker, what would choose to talk about? 🎤
Probably chronic illness, as that’s what I tend to be most… fluent in speaking about. If that makes sense. With many subjects, I feel like I can only talk about it for a short time before I’d struggle, or start racking my brain for something else to say. Whereas, illness is just something I’ve talked extensively about for years, and I could probably speak about various different aspects of illness, the affects it has on life, work, school, relationships, etc. 🤔
I’m also not that confident when speaking in general, I always feel like I’m either babbling too much or stumbling over my words. So, if I just default to what I feel I know best, it takes at least some of that anxiety away, and I might be able to get through a proper speech. 😬

It doesn't matter if you're a parent or not. What's your best parenting tip/tips? What's something that you see around quite a lot and think it should be done differently?
Don’t punish your kids for having “negative” moods/emotions... I see parents do this a lot and it frustrates me so much. 😑 Like, if they are angry, sad, just in a bad mood, etc… parents will punish them for “having an attitude” or “not listening” or “acting up.” Instead of just talking to them and helping them understand that those emotions are normal, and teaching healthy coping skills. 🥴
I think it can be easy to forget that children, especially young children, need guidance on what to do with their feelings, how to express them properly, and so on. What they don’t need is their parent telling them to “knock it off” or generally being scolded for it. 🤷🏼♀️ Being angry, frustrated, anxious, sad, etc, doesn’t make them a “difficult child,” it makes them a person who is developing and figuring out what it means to deal with challenging things (whatever that might mean/look like at their age).
I’m not saying you shouldn’t set boundaries/rules when it comes to certain behaviors, or that you shouldn’t parent them, tell them no, etc, if they are truly doing something wrong, you certainly should. It just means when they are upset/angry, instead of yelling at them, being like: “Listen, I understand you’re feeling *insert emotion*, I feel like that too sometimes. BUT, I cannot allow you to *insert behavior* (throw things, hit, bite, etc.) Can you tell me what you need instead so I can help you?” Or whatever age appropriate version of that would be.
