What do you enjoy the most about your own DA experience?
ikazon
There are relationships that I've formed on DA that are not comparable to any that I've formed anywhere else, on or offline. Some of the most meaningful and longest-lasting friendships I've got are from right here.
TheGalleryOfEve
What brings joy into your life outside of DA?
ikazon
Writing, my cats, my friends, and thoughts of places to one day explore.

If you could have ONE wish fully granted in life, what would be that one thing you would call "A dream come true"?
ikazon
This is mundane, but probably having my college loans paid off. If not for those, I'd live a pretty free life, I think.

What is in your opinion your BEST quality as a human being?
ikazon
I think, based on what other people tell me, it would be my patience.
TheGalleryOfEve
If a time machine was invented and you could travel in time to any period of your life, which one would you like to revisit? Would you try to change anything about that time?
ikazon
I don't think I would change anything, because ultimately all of my experiences have been learning experiences, but I think I'd like to go back and tell past me not to give up on things I like. Liking things boundlessly makes for inspired creation, and I lost some of that along the way, I think.
TheGalleryOfEve
What is your true passion in life?
ikazon
Seeing people smile, and listening to people laugh.
TheGalleryOfEve
What occupies your thoughts during most of the day?

"Cat, I know you want attention but I am trying to get work done"
TheGalleryOfEve
What does "LOVE" mean to you?
