What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery?: Realising I am minutes away from death.
Where would you like to live?: In my ideal, already paid for home.

Who are your favorite heroes of fiction?: The ones who don't seem too far removed from myself, are better, but not to the point where I feel jealous.

Who are your favorite heroines in real life?: Yo, same as Proust. Good answer.
Who are your favorite heroines of fiction?: Hermione Granger probably tbh.

What do you most value in your friends?: Interest in things, a desire to be friends with me for reasons other than wanting to hang out with someone.

What would you like to be?: Myself, basically exactly what Proust said, but how I'd like to be. Mentally, physically happy and healthy.
What is your favorite color?: It depends on what context, dark colours for clothes, but I love yellow buttercups in green grass, and blue skies and seas.
What is your favorite flower?: Forget me nots, maybe bleeding hearts. I like wildflowers bunched together. Also like hedge parsley.
What is your favorite bird?: The wren, even though I think I only briefly saw one once.
Who are your favorite prose writers?: I don't read enough and feel like a hypocrite answering this.
Who are your favorite poets?: Probably Pablo Neruda... for consistency and for making me feel emotions with no effort because I'm lazy and dumb.
Who are your heroes in real life?: I don't have any.
Who are your favorite heroines of history?: Basically every woman who had to put up with living in an awfully sexist, boring time with no other options than marrying and having children.

How would you like to die?: Never, or very old, with no pain, and being unaware of it happening, preferably not because of a being senile, but because of being asleep or drunk.
What is your present state of mind?: Terrified, because I now feel too self aware, and have no idea where my life is going, and always convinced there is something wrong with me.
What is your motto?: bruh
