1. What would make you just give it all up, or if there isn't anything that bad, how come?
Giving up only means that you haven't tried enough. Tomorrow will always be better.
2. What in your life gives you the most satisfaction, or a sense of purpose? Can you explain why?
What gives me the most satisfaction is results, be it an experiment, a writing exercise, or simply not burning dinner.
3. What is it you don't have, that you've absolutely got to have?
I am currently enamoured with blank notebooks. All of that white paper brings a smile to my face. So far I've kept my impulse to buy out the bookstore in check.
