This time Rachel asks the questions. She brought a game where she gives me two choices, I pick one and explain why, and then I turn the question back on her.
First, would I rather live in Syria or in Canada. I live in Canada and I could go back, so I've already made my choice, but that doesn't mean I don't miss Syria. I've lived in a lot of countries, and the best days of my life were in Syria. After the war, life there became very hard. Canada has its own difficulties too, and it isn't all rosy the way people imagine. Rachel would choose Lebanon, because her family is there, the people she loves, and all her memories, even if she misses some calm now and then.
Then love or money. Ideally I want both. I always say money can't buy love, health or a clear mind, but it solves the money problems, so you can put your energy into those three. Right now I'm focused on building a business. Rachel always picks love, and she thinks my answer is a little too logical.
The last question was the easiest one for me. The freedom to be who you are, or living up to what your family and the people around you expect. Anyone who knows me knows my answer. On this one, Rachel and I agree.
