IAMA a girl that lived abroad in Jordan for two years and now back in America.

Why were you there for two years? How was it? Was it your first time there?

My parents had always been planning to move to Jordan, seeing as, a lot of my family reside there and they wanted to be living back home. That was one factor and they also didn't want me to be raised in the states, you know fear of me "rebelling".

Yeah, I had been there before visiting my family during the summer. To put it succinctly, Jordan was an interesting experience. It was only two years, but a lot of things happened in those years that shaped my personality.

    Why do you think we never hear about good or cool ghosts? I mean I'd be chilling at the beach and helping others out if I was a ghost.    

I don't believe in the supernatural but hypothetically speaking, why should we care about the good ghosts? They aren't doing any harm, let them chill out and hang with us. It's usually the bad that's highlighted.

Got any cool, funny, weird, sad, or crazy stories?

How about cool, funny, weird, sad AND crazy? That one would be a sure-fire.

What is your purpose in life? What keeps you going each day?

I don't feel that I have any purpose here, well not to be cynical, I guess I just haven't found it yet. I'm just taking life day by day. What keeps me going? The desire to see where my life will end up. There's still so many things I haven't done yet that I want to accomplish.

Ever seen a house centipede or camel cricket? Google or YouTube it. If so, what was your first reaction?

Ew. I watched a guy with a house centipede crawling on his legs, that's a dude with balls. I detest insects and the thought of that ever near me makes me cringe.
