Jess

“What matters most in life to you?” I asked Jessica.
“Kindness is very important to me. No matter who I meet, how they look, or how they speak, I’m always open. I don’t judge people, and because of that, I see the good in them.” Her voice was soft, confident, and calm.

“What do you believe in?”
“I believe in the universe and that somehow we’re all connected, with a higher power guiding us. I don’t believe in coincidences—I never have. Everything happens for a reason, and every person we meet is part of that reason.”

“Does that mean you believe in destiny?”
“Yeah, definitely.”
“What does your destiny look like?”
“I guess it’s about spreading happiness and kindness.”
“And how do you do that?”
“Just by being me,” she chuckled. “I make people happy by sharing my happiness with them.”
“Where do you find it?”
“It’s just here.”

“Do you have a dream?”
“I used to be a big dreamer. I imagined having a family, many friends, and simple things like the coolest birthday party. But now, I don’t allow myself to dream like that anymore. I used to get disappointed a lot. Now, I just live day by day.”

“Is there something that keeps you awake at night?”
“The big question for me is whether I’m enough. I often feel like I’m not, because I never win my battles. I’ve only had two romantic relationships, and after long fights on my side, I had to give up. My exes didn’t want me to fight for them. One of them later told me that she didn’t fight for me because she thought I deserved better than her. But even though she said that, I still feel like I wasn’t enough. I think she would’ve fought for me if I had been.”

“What is your greatest fear?”
“Death. A sudden death. I don’t want life to end—I’d love to live forever.”

“What do you think happens when we die?”
“I believe our souls continue to live in a new life after we die. Every person has a different-aged soul, so when I meet a child with an old soul, I know I’m seeing someone wise beyond their years.”

“How would you like to be remembered?”
“As a kind person.”
