My questions from Kaitlyn are:

1. What is something you are excited and looking forward to? I am looking forward to my fiance and I getting married 🙂
2. Why did you begin blogging? I began blogging to bring awareness to the public about vaginismus, and to provide support for women who suffer from this condition.
3. Are you open about your blog in your life, or is it a secret? I am open with it now, but I was very secretive about my condition prior to starting my blog. 
4. What is your favourite book and why? My favorite book is “The Name of the Wind” by Patrick Rothfuss. It has adventure, fantasy, humor and romance; all things that make up a great story. Bonus: it’s well written 🙂
5. What is your favourite season and why? My favorite season is Fall because it’s the perfect temperature outside, the outdoors smells fresh and earthy, the leaves look beautiful and you are able to do all these wonderful fall activities with family and friends.
6. Do you have any goals for this year? I am hoping to get back into shape, work on overcoming my vaginismus and intimacy problems, and learn to handle my anxiety and depression better.
7. What has been something good about today? I went to get new eye glasses and our new couch came in 🙂
8. What do you do in your spare time? I blog, watch YouTube videos, go to the gym, play with my dog and watch movies with my fiance.
9. What do you do when you feel down or sad? Generally, I watch YouTube in bed with a hot cup of tea.
10. Where, or what, does home mean to you? Home to me is anywhere where there are loved ones around. Home doesn’t have to be a place where only family resides, it can be a place with friends as well.

Recovery is a Rollercoaster
