I’ve been reflecting on the past few years of my childhood and I felt like I could have done more as in take chances instead of sitting here waiting for things to happen and now I’ve seen how much time has gone by it kind of makes me sad because I feel like I wasted it somehow, even though I have been trying it hasn’t felt right . I think at some point in everyone’s life they think they can mess around and opportunities will always be right there waiting for them and what they forget is that it could never comeback ,I don’t think anyone wants to wake one day and think “where has my life gone?” “why didn’t I go after what I wanted to?”, so I think that people should take life seriously because it isn’t a dress rehearsal you only have one life so go do what you want.
Now I’m not saying I’m perfect because I know it’s really hard to do what we want when we feel depressed when everything feels pointless and everything we do is just to get by for the moment but I was thinking about my upcoming birthday and how much time has passed and it made me cry but it also motivated me, I think from now on even if I have a depressed day I’m still going to try to do what I love and follow my dreams because it’s better than not trying at all

I agree. I think that I spend a lot of time worrying about people and things that really weren’t worth my time. I still don’t know exactly what I want to do with the rest of my life, but it’s really nice to not have someone breathing down my neck telling me what to do. You’re right. It is your life and you should make the best of it 🙂
Thanks I’m glad you got something out of it,tell me (if you want) when you find something you want to do
I really understand what you’re saying.. because that’s the same boat I’m in..
but you’re right about just trying to start now.. it IS sad, but it’s all we’ve got..
but the good news is that if you can try to ignore that feeling and just keep going
forward, you do still have time!
remember that there are 70- 80 years olds that can go to college and graduate!
I don’t know how old you are, but even if it’s 50 or 60.. you still have time to
turn your life around if you focus on something and go for it 🙂
I actually have a friend that’s 55 and he’s going for his doctorate for education..
I really like what you said in the last sentence ” I think from now on even if I have a depressed day I’m still going to try to do what I love and follow my dreams because it’s better than not trying at all”
it will be difficult, but you can start on a path now..
and these aren’t empty words.. I’m doing this very thing now 🙂
I hope for your success!
Thanks I’m glad you got something out of it, what are you doing?
You only get one chance at life. I’m not even past halfway and I’m already cooked.
Are there things that you like to do?
Sometimes but I don’t enjoy anything the way that a normal person would. I don’t know, no matter how much I’ve tried to find a way to compensate, the fact is, I’ll never be the same.
very true ‘exit to nowhere’.. that’s the part I’m trying to ignore..
very true.
I forget where I heard it but this reminds my of something I heard once..
This life is only practice, because all real things come with an instruction manual.
so life isn’t real.. 😉
