what have you learn from your mistakes ?

If someone says that they're sorry, it doesn't always mean that they won't do it again. Sometimes they apologise for not being able to help themselves. Sometimes they apologise because they know that they should. And sometimes they apologise just to get you off of their back.
Don't colour over something black with a yellow felt-tip. That will never be undone.
Not everybody is out to judge you. Nine times out of ten, a hand up is just a hand up. Stop looking for hidden costs in everything.
Most employers don't give a flying monkey's that you've done your DofE. Your teachers lied. But if you want an opportunity to go camping with your friends, to walk in what will either be a downpour or a drought, and to accidentally consume way more trangia meths than you should (the ideal amount being, y'know, none.) then do it anyway.
Forgiving someone is not a sign of weakness. From the very beginning, it has only ever been a show of strength. In the same way - caring doesn't mean that you're vulnerable, loving won't wear you down, risk taking will sometimes fuck you up (but you'll have a good story.) but you have to try.
If someone seems pissed off IT'S PROBABLY NOT AT YOU STOP BEING SO BUTTHURT NATASHA and they might actually need your support.
Work out how much you're willing to give to someone. And then work out how much they're asking of you. If it's too much, it's okay to leave. I promise.
Your mistakes do not define you. It's what you choose to do next that does.
If he sends you an unwanted dick pic, don't send him a picture of holy water. Send back a picture of a BIGGER dick. This is very effective. Alternatively, that picture of the Queen looking unimpressed.

Can you say "I love you" to someone currently in your life and mean it? Do you think you will in the future?

"I love you."
"You've said."
"No, you don't get it! I /really/ love you."
"I love you too. I do. Can you climb down? Or jump - I'll catch you."
"I loveeee you."
"Great."
"I LOVE YOU."
"Okay, nice. Look, just push off. Just like always."
"I love everything about you. Okay, no. I don't like the way that you sometimes steal the covers and that you put things on high shelves. But I love everything else!"
"I do not steal the - You know what, doesn't matter. Let's go home, love. Jump."
"Question!"
You sighed, and leant your forehead against my dangling legs in defeat.
"Answer."
"Do you think that we'll still be us by Christmas?"
"I think that we'll still be here, in this exact same spot, by Christmas. But of course I do."
I shifted happily. "Oh, good. Because I already bought your present. It's a-"
"Stop talking. Come on, love. Stop talking and just jump."
You held out your arms, and I cheerfully pushed myself off of the wall. You "oofed" when I landed in your arms, and I wrapped myself around you.
"Drunk you is a liability." You told me seriously, holding me tighter. "Drunk you almost gave away Christmas. In September."
I waved a dismissive, floppy hand.
"Tash?"
The hand flopped again.
"I love you."
I pulled a face, and you pressed a kiss against my forehead.
"Nerd."
"That's fuckin' rude, douchemuffin."
Tl;dr - Don't date super tall rugby players because they are mean and take great pleasure in getting you drunk whilst being ENTIRELY UNAFFECTED BY ALCOHOL.

What does having a crush feel like?

"Oh hey, this person is pretty cute."
"And funny!"
"I could talk to them forever, oh my God."
"Look at their smile!"
"It's like the sun coming out."
"Jesus, you're stunning."
"I do NOT like them, haha, what are you talking about."
"....Aw fuck."

How would you describe a non-consensual consent and why?

I'd say pressuring someone to agree, leaving them with the feeling that they have no option. So sure, they said yes, but they did not want to or really mean it.
Fun fact, kids. If you feel like you're too young, you're too young. You will regret it. Don't let anybody take your "no" away, because it's not something that you can undo.

What makes sense to you? the void?

Evolution. Decomposition.
When I was 11, my best friend died in a skiing accident. His family were Christian and the belief that he'd gone somewhere better helped to see them through the horror of losing their eleven year old son. I'd like to believe in Heaven, it's a comfort, and I'm more inclined to believe in a capital "S" Somewhere than reincarnation.
I was agnostic and went through CofE boarding schools before deciding to be a Buddhist. My ideas are bound to be a mess!

What is your favorite sports related movie? If you absolutely don't have one or haven't seen any yet, name a sports related movie you'd potentially be interested in seeing at some point.

AmericanLass’s Profile PhotoC.
"CooOOOOoool Running!"
If it counts as a sports movie? It definitely should.
Because the story of the Jamaican bobsled team is one that leaves me laughing so hard that my sides ache and with tears in my eyes.
It's a masterpiece, it really is :')
(It always makes me train harder as well? Like, if these lads from Jamaica could make it to the winter Olympics when they have literally no access to bobsled vitals like, idk, ice, then I can sure as hell get my ass up to standard for international seniors. I actually have a court;))

What is your definition of unconditional love?

Adjective, noun.
Not subject to conditions.
A strong feeling of affection.
And it's all just words,
A handful of words that when you pull them apart,
Phonetically,
Alphabetically,
Stop meaning much at all.
Adjective, noun.
You always suspected that she was half lioness.
Because he's 6"2,
And she's 5"4,
Standing in front of him and telling him that he shapes up,
Or gets out.
And it's Daddy, so your heart hurts.
But it's your mother who is telling him that no,
He cannot treat you like this any more.
He chooses out.
The divorce is viscous.
She holds her chin up,
And your hand,
And takes on the world alone.
Adjective, noun.
You've told her to fuck off.
You've told her that you wish you were dead.
You've made her second guess every single choice,
That she has ever made,
With your best interests at heart,
And she still holds you when you're wrung out,
Limp,
So tired,
And you're whispering "I'm sorry" against a sweater that smells of her.
Of vanilla and cardamom and home,
And she just kisses your head,
And it's enough.
It's more than enough.
Adjective, noun.
It's two am.
You were delayed.
You were delayed in Athens and then again in Rome.
And the moment that you're through the gate,
There she is.
Because she's been waiting there since two pm,
When they started reporting of bombs in Greece.
Because she has dropped everything,
And has fought tooth and nail in your stead.
Because at two am, you run to her.
And you're home.
