Shala Dugas Rousseau Gave me 10, so: 1.) I have quietly struggled with anxiety and depression all my life. Its a family thing. I have not always made the best choices to deal with it. Im aware of that now that Im older and Im trying to do a better job. 2.) The story goes that Julie and I didnt like each other before we started dating. The truth is I secretly had a crush on her but didnt know what it meant, so I pushed her away by being a jerk. 3.) Bucketlist? Skate on the ice at the Garden, after I learn to skate. 4.) I regret not having to have been able to know my fathers parents. I also regret not being able to find enough time to spend with my mothers parents. Working on that. 5.) I once ditched a college girlfriend while in Germany on a trip and hit every strip club and bar in Hamburg with a young Scandinavian woman. Our night ended with a good by wave. Started with a beer being handed to me at some all-night Icelandic house rave. Whats amazing is I remember it all because I had just that one beer and we just held hands. 6.) I lied to my parents about the way I proposed to my wife. It was much more intimate than I shared. 7.) I have lost three great male friends in the past ten years to painful distrust. I find making strong male friends difficult. You may not know it but I keep very close score. I am very blessed to have friends in my life now who are open and willing to share their life with me without judgement and for all the right reasons- work, responsibility, and respect. 8.) Although I was good at it, I dont have the constitution my father does for his profession even if I seem as though I do when you ask me those questions. I wouldnt take back helping anyone I did, even in special moments they might never be aware of. It was very powerful and I respect all those who do it day in and day out, especially my Dad. 9.) I secretly wish I was born in the time of the American Revolution. That is where my old soul lives, and he cries about the America we have become. I worry desperately about my kids, and yours. 10.) I severely regret having to leave Clark when I did and graduate on my own terms. I worked so damned hard not to have it all come together. The reasons for my departure were necessary and important, and without the space I would never have married my wife as a consequence. Although I dont want to sound ungrateful, it still bothers me 13 years later.
