MMM Jambutty great thread, but i already had to face that quite litterally, beleive me when u are on the death path that somehow happens itself, in a way death scares the crap out of me even more cos i sort of know what comes altho was lucky to get a 2nd shot at things, so got to do or change things because of that realisation 8years ago & ever since i do try to grap the horns of life when opportunities come my way - gee take them u have nowt to lose!! Something that came to me at that time cos the life i had beforehand i really wasted, didnt take opportunities always thought i was kind of invincible that they would come round again & i so took my life oh so much for granted that i wasted it on drifting thro it, missing chances, not taking action on things that i should of, lacked any beleif life is for living, lived on hope things will change than doing owt to action it, saw everything as doom & had no appreciation for my life at all, always thought i deserved nothing, i defenately wished i had enjoyed my life as i didnt & settled for so much less than i should of, rushing life too quickly all before 23 & then when i nearly went - my last dying thought was i wouldnt reach 30!!
BUT NOW!
Glady can say since i got my 2nd life - that i have changed, im very defensive of living & taking nowt for granted - hey i reached 30, every birthday im alive is special for being on earth one year older - age is very immaterial, stopped wishing my life away - gee even try to slow time down LOL!!
Regrets i have a few but all a growth & learning curve thats made my life stronger, yeh spug im with u on marraige but least we know what its about & not be keen to do it again, but as they say how do u know until u try, thankfully that lesson learnt & out of the way, hey done too many things the hard way LOL! Trouble is i know a little too much of this wise stuff a bit young LOL!!
Now im wanting to do as much as i can to enhance the happiness of my life - not just wishing....wishing is a bit of a wasted time ... just go for it! Thing is u cant change the past but u can change your future, so its never too late
. & yeh some life circumstances i cant change but making the absolute best of them till i can change them
A song that sums this thread upto me is that Bon Jovi one - Its my life...
Chorus:
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life
