15. Were you in love in 2005?<\/strong>
\nYes, if only for short peroids of time.. maybe just infatuated, but that’s almost as good \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\nYou know who you are.<\/p>\n

22. What is the one thing that would have made you more satisfied?<\/strong>
\nEverything happening faster, but then again, everything has it’s own pace, I’m at peace with that.<\/p>\n

\nI wouldn’t want to put anybody on a pedestal, those who are my new friends are welcomed. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

24. A valuable life lesson you learnt this year?<\/strong>
\nDon’t waste time brooding on how bad life is, appreciate what is good in it and work of making it even better.<\/p>\n
