in character questions

Answer these in character, and feel free to add gifs into your answers.

1.) What did you want to do with your life when you were younger? What would the child version of yourself think about the path you paved for yourself?

There were so many different things I wanted to be when I was younger.  It was constantly changing and being influenced by media and experiences.  I wanted to be a astronaut, a fireman, a doctor, an actor, a teacher, a military pilot, a rockstar, a chemist, a banker....but when it was time to make decisions about life after Dalton, studying computer science seemed to make the most sense as a jumping off point.  I was thinking web design, maybe programing.  We barely knew what apps were back then.  

Did I see myself leaving Northwestern with my roommate and moving to Silicon Valley to work in a tech think tank?  No.  But California was such an adventure and I loved it.  And as great as the think tank was, leaving it to develop something of our own, just ours, was the best.  Deciding to come to the East coast once the App took off and to go off on my own, is a little daunting, but honestly, it’s time. 

2.) What is your proudest accomplishment? Don’t be afraid to  talk about what it took to achieve it and how you feel about it as well.

Hands down- having created Social Byte.  I don’t know if other creative types get this paternal/maternal feeling over the things they create, but Social Byte is like my child.  

I’m also pretty proud of myself for having decided to branch off on my own now, and come east.  A new adventure.  Even if it's taken me years to do so.

3.) If you could do anything you wanted for one whole day, what would it be and why?

I would do anything.  For me, it would be less about the what and more about the who.  Or who’s.  Spend a whole day with someone or someone's that it’s always easy to be around.  And do whatever, but bask in the enjoyment of their company.  I’ve been away from the people I grew up with, some important people, for too long.  I’d try to fix that.  I’m going to fix that, now that I’m on the East coast.

where are they now? 

Even after the steroid scandal that rocked the Warblers in his senior year, Nick was able to turn that into a real learning and growing experience by making it the topic of his admission essays.  He ended up getting accepted to several schools, including Northwestern University in Chicago, where he ultimately decided to go.  Not going to New York, or the East coast, like it seemed like so many of his friends were was a hard decision for Nick. 

Computer science ended up suiting Nick, and he went on to complete an Master of Science in Information  Technology.  Nick was also lucky that right off the bat he met Ryan, his roommate.  For the second time, Nick found himself with a roommate that he clicked with almost instantly.  They were in the same program, they were roommates, study buddies, sounding boards, and the best of friends.  It made missing his Warbler and Dalton friends a little more bearable. And because it didn’t feel so bad,  Nick was more easily able to try and keep his friendships going with his Warbler and Dalton friends all across the country.  Nick was constantly sending cards, sometimes letters, post cards, emails, posts on various social medias, trying to keep any bits of communication open with everyone.

After completing their MS IT at Northwestern, Ryan convinced Nick to go West with him- where he was from originally.  18 months with the think tank they left it to pursue their own project, and Social Byte was born.  Despite the closeness of their friendship, being roommates for years, moving across the country together, it was strictly platonic.  Which suited Nick just fine anyway.  

Once Social Byte hit the market and exploded, Nick decided it was time to branch out and go off and try something on his own.  This was also influenced by his want to move to the East coast and Ryan’s desire to stay in California.   It’s his birthday week and Nick Duval can’t think of anything more fitting than starting a new adventure, in a new city, closer to quite a few of his high school and even college friends.

He's not an idiot. He can be nice, if that's what you're referring to, he's just not the biggest fan of you.

The Past is Not Today! Living in the past, wallowing in the shame and guilt of past actions; regret and self-pity gets us nowhere. The past is just that, the past. We can’t go back and change, but we can learn from it. Our past is a place of reference NOT of residence. We can choose to learn from our pasts, just as important though, is learning to live in today! 🙌🏻 • • • • #liveinthemoment #livefortoday #justfortoday #noregrets #liveinthepresent #onedayatatime #recoveryblog #recoveryworks #learningexperience #learnfromyourmistakes #soberinspiration #sobermovement #sobermotivation #soberinstagram #soberstrong #recoveringalcoholic #recoverywarrior #recoverystrong #recoverystories #soberwarrior #wedorecover #recoveryispossible #addictionrecovery #sobercommunity #recoverycommunity #alcoholicsanonymous #friendsofbillw #soberquotes #addictionquotes #recoveryposse https://www.instagram.com/p/Cphr38uuWAn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Nunca seas prisionero de tu pasado...fue solo una lección, no una sentencia de vida" LETTING GO is a difficult thing to master. I constantly see people struggle with this. Many people get stuck in an unhealthy loop of highly charged EMOTIONS tied to their pasts, and when they do, it keeps them from living happy lives now. To break free, FORGIVE YOURSELF if you’ve laid blame on the person in the mirror. Guilt is a horrible sentence to impose on yourself. Yet, we do it all the time. And as soon as you can, reframe your past in the form of a LESSON and ask what you LEARNED. There is always VALUE and HEALING in understanding what happened. When you do these things, you’re well on your way to releasing yourself from the chains that bind you and giving yourself the FREEDOM to move forward.

Encouraging doesn't mean you repeatedly do the same mistake and expect others to support you.
