Interesting Icebreakers to discuss!
This week's icebreakers...
Feel free to answer some or all questions. 
1. What is a memorable experience from your childhood?
2. If you were mayor of your town, what would you do?
3. What defines happiness?
1. What is a memorable experience from your childhood? Falling down really huge trees regularly. I never even sprained anything and remember being covered in bruises everywhere and grossing out my classmates really bad one time I was half purple lol. I just randomly stopped climbing a few stories up trees before anything serious happened.
2. If you were mayor of your town, what would you do? Rent control and homeless shelters/services. I live in one of the top 10 most expensive counties in the entire country. As someone on disability it's miserable being trapped at my parents with nowhere else to go unless I travel far out of state and try to sink or swim.
3. What defines happiness? You definetely need some basics for happiness. You sure will be miserable in the wet cold rain if you're homeless. I guess stability and positive connections (that don't look down on you or treat you as lesser) Opportunities to grow or change your life if you want. Some form of control over your own life as well

1. What is a memorable experience from your childhood?
Currently I could only recall a traumatic one, so I'd rather not go into details.
2. If you were mayor of your town, what would you do?
I'd offer free public transportation services for the unemployed and other people of low economic background.
3. What defines happiness?
I think happiness means while knowing that our life is not perfect and we may not have everything we want, we still be grateful for what we have and feel lucky because of that. In my opinion, it'll be easier to do once we stop comparing ourselves with others.
1. What is a memorable experience from your childhood?
My imagination. I didn't mind playing by myself. I loved playing on my swing at home. I would pretend I was flying. I would also often play dress up. I would wear my white dress and pretend I was a princess.
2. If you were mayor of your town, what would you do? I would end homelessness. Everyone has the basic human right to have a roof over their head.
3. What defines happiness?
I find happiness in giving of myself to others. I like to see others happy.
@Ocean89
That's a beautiful childhood! I also strongly believe in rights for homeless people. And your definition of happiness is definitely altruistic :)
@lovelyParadise7651 thank you :) I'm still the same way. Like my alone time and listening to music. I feel blessed. There were difficult times in my past and currently but I try to focus on the good in my life. I know God loves me ā¤ļø Happy Holidays!

1. My best memory from childhood was my Dad coming home from work and me hugging his knees. The smell of his aftershave coming in from the cold.
2. If I were mayor of my town I'd build more social housing and try to get better retail stores and restaurants to open.
3. What defines happiness? Happiness is when you feel peace; feel safe; are validated; and in the present moment
1. What is a memorable experience from your childhood?
Lots of bad ones but I'm gonna try and be positive gor once... going to the beach everyday during summer break woth my brother until the sun went down.
2. If you were mayor of your town, what would you do?
Try and help as many people as I could, whether it be mentally, physically or financially.
3. What defines happiness?
I dont know anymore...happiness for me used to be going to a concert or to the beach. I have a hard time even recognizing happiness now.
@Mypineapple1987
going to the beach until the sun sets sounds beautiful. And that is a straightforward but good idea for if you were mayor of your town. I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling too good. I understand its hard to recognise happiness when you haven't felt it in so long. Hope you feel happier soon and I can send a link to some resources that might help. š
1. Nothing
2. Move
3. A mythical feeling I will never experience for even a second in my entire life
@tluper6491
what did you mean by you would move as mayor? I assumed we would all have to move if we were mayor lol. And I'm sorry to hear you're feeling down. Feel free to check out the resources in the reply above you :)
@lovelyParadise7651
Posted below, meant to respond to this post but screwed it up because I'm an idiot. I hate my town and would move somewhere else.
I'd move to a different town because I hate the one I live in and feel trapped here.
@tluper6491
Whoops, meant to reply to the post above. My mistake.
