Did you ever look into your past alot and just think about how fast the time flew by, or how quickly things changed? Did you have a good past that you would love to remember, or was your past horrible and are you happy that you are out of that part of your life? Let's talk about the past and our lives.
Yeah, I definitely get the feeling like the time flew by, but I don't feel like I changed that much internally. Not to say I'm just as immature now as I was then or anything... As for remembering the past, my take on it is that yes it had its difficulties but overall it was good. In fact, my only regret was that I didn't enjoy the past as much as I should've. Middle school and high school were hard for me socially, but obviously I had no idea what was coming for me, so I spent a lot of those years depressed. I wish I'd just stopped worrying about all my insecurities and just enjoyed being young and free of responsibility.
I had good times during school days and as I got older I do think I've made some bad decisions, I'm good at mentally blocking things out so it's not too bad lol. I think more than anything if I was to change something in the past I would change certain events that happened in order to make my sister happy because she has been through a lot of shit.
I miss easy elementary school homework and coming home to watch Rugrats, the original Godzilla cartoon, The Wild Thornberrys, Rocket Power (which I didn't like but would watch), A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Dexter's Laboratory, and, sometimes, Johnny Bravo. *sigh*
Somebody didn't care for Nickelodeon too much haha^. I miss Super Nintendo, I miss Sega Genesis, Rugrats, Hey Arnold, Spongebob (99-01), etc.
I'm only 16 so I haven't experienced much yet but each academic year goes by so fast. Already I'm in my last year at secondary school and the last 5 years feel like yesterday.
Time flies real quick man, this year has seen a BIG change in me, became a bit independent and i like it, but i really miss the years that have passed. Specially from 2007 to early 2010, have been great years. Matured a lot since then.
Yupp since ive turned 18 i have really been thinking about what i want to do with my life so when im 40 i dont think "man i should have tried harder at what i wanted to do instead of being so lazy". I wanted to be a vocalist(the next lp) but now since ATS and ive gotten older i dont want to scream like they did, but dont have the worlds greatest voice. Now i just wanna pursue a acting career, though it may be hard since i was born with only 11/2 arms lol. If you are younger then me little advice... Dont be scared to do anything as your young. I am a senior and regret not being more out going. I never drank, smoke, or really partied(guilty by association) and i still dont but dont be scared to go out and get into a little trouble. You have no worries while your young, HAVE FUN!!!!!!!
Why don't you take your own advice and go out and drink and smoke and party? You're 18, acting as if you're some 60 year old looking back on his life with regret.
I'm your age, I haven't really had anything to drink, I don't smoke, nor do I party. Why do you sound as if life is over?
You were born with only 5.5 arms? I didn't start drinking until the summer after high school graduation. I don't regret waiting that long. I've still never smoked anything in my life at 22. You don't need to do those things to be more outgoing or "fit in". You should be doing things because you want to do them, not because you think you should be. I still go to parties on occasion that have people who might be on every drug imaginable, but I'm not going to fall into that kind of lifestyle. I just like to see different aspects of life and meet new people, whether it's good or bad. You don't need to do stupid and crazy things to discover that they are indeed stupid and crazy. You can live conservatively while still being an outgoing person. Edit: And as for my past, I regret not being more confident when I was younger. I had everything a kid could want, yet I still was insecure about some things. I wish I would have gotten in many more relationships with girls in middle school and high school. I was either too stupid and unaware of how many girls liked me, or I'd almost always be too shy to do anything about it. Having 2 girlfriends in your teen life is pretty bad. It also sucks hearing about how many girls liked you growing up when you're now 22 and they are off living out of state or with another guy. You wonder, "Why was I such a puss?" In some ways it's opened my eyes, and in other ways it's just made me furious at my past self. However, nothing good ever comes from dwelling on the past. You live and you learn.
Time really does go by with the blink of an eye, I've graduated out of high school for about 3 and a half years now. Looking back, I can't say I've fully grabbed life by the balls long enough. Many things to regret, and yet I wouldn't have learned the value of humility through bad judgments. Just remember kids, keep your ego in check. Be humble. Know your priorities and obligations, and do not turn your back on your responsibilities. Got a goal? Take the opportunity and head straight for it. Don't give it the time of day to fade away. Do whatever the hell you want as long as someone important won't get jabbed by the shorteer end of the stick. Lastly, know your limit, stay within it. =]
No i have a full right arm but my left arm was cut off at the elbow. Would anyone like to see a video of me playing the guitar? And i was just like you in high school in almost every way. @ Louis- Im not saying life is over.... just that high school should be fun for everyone so dont be so scared to do things(as long as they arent horrible) and it could have been fun for me but i chose not to.
I don't want to regret anything of the past, the good and the bad, cause it made me the person I am today. I'm not perfect but I think I'm a good person with good values and did things right. There are a lot of people who can't say the same.
I'm sorry, but telling us to go get drunk and party is pretty bad advice. That's where you get in trouble man. A fucking DWI can stop you from becoming a teacher...that's just one example. But sure, you should be outgoing in other aspects (such as clubs/sports or whatever).
lol Im not trying to tell you to go do drugs, get drunk, and fuck every girl you can find. I'm just saying dont not do something because your scared. Do what you wanna do, for yourself and only yourself. I never wanted to do anything bad because i was so scared to disappoint my dad because he looked so highly on me. Until this year i went out and experienced things for me to decide whether they were good or bad, not for my dad or other people to. If you dont wanna drink dont drink, now i choose not to. Thats all i wanna saw. I think yall are taking what im saying out of proportion
