In This Article:

My partner, Ernesto, is one of the people who always has my back. We've known each other for over 10 years, and we started off as just friends. We have really grown up by each other's side and he's been there for my best moments and my worst ones. He can usually read my emotions pretty well, but I wanted to test out how well he really knows me. Here are twenty questions I asked him to see if he could respond correctly.

1. What's my favorite food?

Paige Ryan

Ernesto: White plain rice. Or tortillas.

Me: I would probably say my favorite food is a smoothie, but I know he'd say that's not real food.

2. What's one food I hate?

Ernesto: Pickles

Me: He's right. I hate a lot of things, but pickles are one of the ones I see no reason to even try. The smell alone is disgusting.

3. What's my favorite restaurant?

Ernesto: Right now, probably Bartaco.

Me: Yeah, I do really like Bartaco. It's where we got takeout from for my birthday this year.

4. What's one cause I really care about?

A cute pug I saw at a protest I attended.

Paige Ryan

Ernesto: Immigration

Me: Yes!

5. Where was I born?

A dinner date with a rainbow in our city.

Paige Ryan

Ernesto: Raleigh

Me: Yes, Raleigh, NC, is where I was born.

6. Who is my absolute best friend?

Ernesto and Buster kayaking.

Paige Ryan

Ernesto: Buster, then me!

Me: HAHA, Buster is my dog.

7. What's my favorite thing about you?

Paige Ryan

Ernesto: My work ethic?

Me: What an Earth sign response. No, I honestly really love his eyes, his smile, and the little freckles across his nose. And I love the way he always has my back.

8. What is my dream job?

Paige Ryan

Ernesto: Pug breeder on a farm near the beach.

Me: No, I don't want to live on a farm, but I'd love to be a travel writer/photographer who lives by the beach and has a lot of pugs.

9. What's my favorite color?

Ernesto: Black. Then pink ish?

Me: I can't blame him for thinking I love black because it's one of the only colors I wear. Right now, I'm having a lavender moment, and also really appreciating sage green and marigold.

10. What's one thing I'm really bad at?

Ernesto: Not making faces when trying new things.

Me: Um, yeah. Breaking the habit of being a picky eater is really hard. I don't like trying new foods when I'm around people who don't know me well because it's hard to control my physical reactions.

11. What's one thing I'm really good at?

Ernesto: Writing.

Me: I am always happy when other people tell me I write well.

12. What would you say is my greatest weakness?

Paige Ryan

Ernesto: You're too nice sometimes.

Me: I need to learn how to stand up for myself and not let people take advantage of me or a situation.

13. What would you say is my greatest strength?

Paige Ryan

Ernesto: You see the best in people.

Me: I thought this response was really sweet!

14. Who am I closest to in my family?

Paige Ryan

Ernesto: Auntie.

Me: Auntie is my maternal aunt, and this is right.

15. How did I get my name?

Paige Ryan

Ernesto: I don't know.

Me: I think it was just because they wanted something uncommon.

16. Who is my role model?

Ernesto: Aang from Avatar the Last Airbender.

Me: HAHA yes, I love that character so much. A lot of my role models are fictional characters. I also really like Mulan and Sailor Moon. Probably some of the biggest influences on me growing up.

17. What is my love language?

Paige Ryan

Ernesto: Touch

Me: I'd lean more towards quality time and words of affirmation.

18. What is my biggest regret?

Ernesto: UNCW?

Me: By this, he's referring to a semester that I failed because I was depressed and had too much going on in my life to be able to focus on my studies. I would say it's a regret. Not necessarily attending the school, and I did complete a certificate program there, but I do have a lot of regrets from that period in my life.

19. What is my greatest fear?

Ernesto: Being alone.

Me: I don't think necessarily being alone is the biggest fear, but I do fear rejection.

20. What is my biggest insecurity?

Ernesto: Your weight. Which you shouldn't feel insecure about.

Me: Yeah.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.
