make the most of my life

How do u do that, because I don’t know anymore

every day. Not just some days.

i feel like Ive been wasting a good chunk of my life by not going for/finishing the things i want and not realizing opportunities til they’ve passed me by. BUT NO MORE! No more waiting for life to happen. If you want something, you just have to do it. Grab life by the balls! or boobs! Seems so simple. Sad that its taken me this long to realize. I don’t want to end up old and bitter and the only things i have to talk about are all the things i regretted not doing.

I am, sometimes, very aware of the transitory nature of youth. Often when see older people I wonder if they still feel 17 inside. I’m sure many 70 year olds look in the mirror and think that the person they see is not an authentic representation of who they are. I feel like I’ll wake up one day soon and realise I’m 70 too. Although it is still more than three times my age I’m sure it will come much faster than the years suggest- in a similar way to my being aged nine years old was only yesterday.

I keep feeling that my youth is something beautiful that is slowly slipping from my grasp. I feel like it is something that I have not figured out how to do properly, and that others often excel at naturally.

Somehow even if I indulge in the trappings of youth- like getting drunk at parties- it feels more like I’m merely ticking the boxes of ‘what a young person should do’, rather than doing something that feels really, really authentic.

I’d like to have an amazing youth, even if I have a happy, beautiful life I don’t think I’ll have this degree of freedom again. Youth is a great time to experiment in a way that older people might not feel so free to do (although maybe this should change, and might already be changing).

at twenty six i feel like im wasting my life! an i hate that feeling.i have a job that i love but has no prospects plus it pays so little. im still living with me mum an feel stuck in a rut. i have a boyfriend who i love( he loves me)but are relationship doesn’t seem to be going as fast as i like! i compare myself to my friends ! which is stupid

Look at the news. People all over the UK are living far worse lives than you and I, no matter how bad things may seem and how desperate things get there is ALWAYS someone worse off than you. I know when I was hitting rock bottom I found no comfort in this statement whatsoever but as I climb my way up it makes me appreciate what I have in my life so much more. And I can smile because all things considered I am a very lucky girl :o)

i dont want to end up an old man with children and a wife and realise that i didnt take all the chances i could have.
