the unwinding cable car

so the only reason i decided to really watch this music video
was because luiken had said something about the questions
that appeared throughout it.

and after writing up all the questions... i decided to answer them.
they were pretty thought provoking.

the questions off of the new Anberlin music video
"The Unwinding Cable Car":

What makes us who we are?
Eyes?
i think that what makes us who we are is what we do.
the passions that we have in life, and the things we
take interest in. aesthetics can only define us so much.
they give people a physical image to remember us by,
but it's not like your eyes can tell someone your goals
and ambitions in life.


Who will you...
Love?
i will love God always&forever.
i will always love my family and friends.
i will love the husband that God has chosen for me.
i will always have a place in my heart for
those who are hurting&suffering.


Who will you...
Trust?
i will always trust God.
He will always be there for me to go to even in the
worst of situations.

Where is home?
San Diego.
and anywhere there is a beach or an ocean view
where i can look out to everything that is great and
so vast that God created.

What hardships will you face?
deciding what college to transfer to.
figuring out what i'm going to do after i graduate.
figuring out where God's calling is for my life,
my family, my future career.
having the patience to wait for the future
husband God has for me.
maintaining strength in my faith no matter
what the circumstance is.
& i just know that there's going to be so much
more. all i know is that i'm going to have support
no matter what, and i'm grateful for that.

What hardships will you overcome?
i hope i overcome them all.

What makes you happy?
God.
prayer.
praise&worship.
laughter.
the simplicities of life.
company.
someone's reaction to a simple act of kindness.
a hug.
a phone call just to say hello.
a text message to let someone know they were being thought of.
answering questions.
writing.
looking at everyone's view of the world through different forms of art.
adventures.
the list goes on.

What are your passions?
God.
helping people.
being around people.
...just people, i guess.
i love company, reactions, body language.
music.
reading.
traveling.
dance.

If you could... do it all over again...
what would you change?
relationships?
choices?
direction?
i honestly think that i would not want to go back
and change anything. every single thing that has happened to me,
which is A LOT... i don't think i'd be who i am now. every experience
has taught me something different... and for me being the head-strong
person that i am, it takes all sorts of experiences to make me learn things.
whether i have to learn it the hard way, or not.

i think it'd be selfish to say that i want to take out everything that was bad, imperfect, annoying, stupid, etc.

so to sum it up... i'd leave my life the way it's been so far.

What experience would you relive?
mm. i'm going to leave this question a bit of a mystery
cuz that story is kind of personal. but, that one experience
did help me fix something that was very broken in my life.

What will you achieve?
i hope i get to be a music marketer.
and have a side job, or at least volunteer to market
organizations like Invisible Children or To Write Love On Her Arms.
something helpful&meaningful that should be made known.

What will you be remembered for?
for being a strong Christian.
for having served Christ the best way i possibly could have.
that i lived a full life.
that i did something that helped change at least one person's life.
that i was kind&loving.
