  My czarina is the most important person. I've learned that love takes work.

  If I had only a year left, I'd hit the road.

  if i had one year left i wouldn't change a thing. i wouldn't quit my job. i wouldn't just take off. i would keep living as i am now. i think you should always assume you have only one year left (at the most).

  it's hard to live every day as if it were your last but i think it's a great thing to live every year as if it were your last.

  live your life now. don't wait until someone tells you you're dying...you already are.

  What are the lessons that you learned in life? Life's short. Youth is wasted on the young.

  What are you most proud of? My family and the fact that we all turned out to be somewhat decent individuals.

  What are your biggest regrets? That I did not value my grandparents as much as I should have. I always thought that they'd always be around. This will torment me forever.

  What are your spiritual beliefs? There is a God. I just know it.

  What will you miss most when you are gone? The actual act of breathing. Touching. Communicating with those I love.

  Who is the most important person in your life and what have you learned from him or her? This could never be just one person. My learnings have been collectively gathered.

  If you only had a year left to live, what would you do? First, I'd cry. Then I'd take to the road. I'd tell all of those who need to hear it how much I love them and tell all those who need to hear it how I really feel about them.

  What are the lessons that you learned in life?

  The world doesn't revolve around me (still learning)

  What are you most proud of?

  Getting out of the cult.

  What are your biggest regrets?

  Screwing up a good opportunity. My jury is out on free will though, which if it doesn't exist would make the question meaningless.

  What are your spiritual beliefs?

  I hope that my life isn't a chaotic accident, I hope there is meaning to all this.

  What will you miss most when you are gone?

  Don't know if I'll be able to miss anything when I'm gone.

  Who is the most important person in your life and what have you learned from him or her?

  My sister, who has shown unconditional love and support.

  If you only had a year left to live, what would you do?

  I have no idea.

  What are the lessons that you learned in life?
  The only constant is change.
  To truly know yourself is a mixed blessing, since it attracts and repulses those around you, yet it is priceless.
  Fill your cup with love, and let it overflow to all around.

  What are you most proud of?
  Being flexible. Even when I royally screw up I tend to pick myself up and carry on.

  What are your biggest regrets?The few instances where I've hurt people.

  What are your spiritual beliefs?Christ is my rock, and to Him I cling. It's as simple as that, and from there comes the wellspring of everything I do.
  It's a belief relatively free of dogma and tradition.

  What will you miss most when you are gone?
  Chocolate.

  Who is the most important person in your life and what have you learned from him or her?Jesus, who taught me what "love" really is.

  If you only had a year left to live, what would you do?
  Nothing more than I'm doing now, which is spending time with folks I care for, and ensuring that I don't leave any debt behind for loved ones or society at large.
  If I leave anything behind, let it be the soft ripples on the shores of people's mindsand, perchance, a little love in their hearts.
