Describe yourself and your life in a tweet. 

Ooh, I like a Twitter challenge. Okay, let’s see...ummmm.... 

"I know who I want to be and how I want to live but I’m not there yet. Love is important but it’s only one part of life. It’s NOT everything."

How’s that? I think that’s 140 exactly! That makes me totally happy for some weird reason I can’t explain... 

What are your aspirations for the future? 

I want to write music and sing and play guitar...I want to be in a rock musical, or maybe I just want to write it...I want to go to college and study English...I want to be a good person, but I’m sort of only just figuring out what that means...I want to learn how to put myself first and still look out for other people...I want to be okay with not knowing what’s going to happen next. 

What traits are "must haves" for future partners? 

Girls think about this stuff too much. I mean, maybe not everyone is supposed to pair up in life, you know? Maybe I want to spend my life working on music and being totally independent and not thinking about a guy. It’s not that I don’t think romantic love is good. But I think girls still get told somehow that being in love is more important than anything else. 

Even though it’s 2015 and girls kick ass in books and on TV and in movies, the message is still sort of Prince Charming-ish (Rose, this is Louise. Can you just answer the question, please?) 

Fine. I’ll tell you what my big “must have NOT” is: any future partner I have definitely won’t be into drugs or alcohol! 

What’s your greatest fear? 

It’s weird, when the worst thing you can imagine happening has happened to you. When I was little, I used to have nightmares about my mom or dad dying. And now that it happened in real life, I feel sort of...free, I guess. It happened, and I survived. More bad things are going to happen, but I think I can survive those too. 

I guess my greatest fear is losing that feeling. I don’t want to be scared 

Who do you most admire? 

Jamie. 

He’s the strongest person I know. I’ve learned a lot from him, from watching him go through everything, from the advice he’s given me, from loving him. I know he can make it through everything that’s happening now. I’m sure of it. 

I want to be there for him but you know what? He has to do it on his own. 

And I Come back tomorrow, when Angelica asks Jamie the same questions. Hopefully he’ll answer at least one or two. But you never know with him. :-)

Thanks so much Rose for participating in this short interview here today. I know that some of these questions must be confronting for you, but like the strong character you are, you got through it. Thank you and if you can have a word with Jamie, to sorta convince him to answer as many questions as he can, that'd be much appreciated ;)
