Beliefs
I let facts and science dictate what I know about the world as opposed to what people think or feel.
I'm undecided when it comes to the after life. I neither support nor deny its possibility
I think being a good person to your fellow humans is what religion is truly all about
The quality I fake most is confidence and I tend to overcompensate for it when I'm lacking it as a way to be funny. When I'm actually confident, I tend not to fake anything.
I get jealous when I want something that someone else has and I don't. It's a really ugly feeling, so when I feel that way I try to find a way to get what I want.
