Was it One Year, or Ten?

tinser by tinser · Feb 4, 2004 · 295 views · Journal

It's been a long time since I've written a journal, in fact, I may not have written one since the forums became a part of eZabel...but anyways, here I go:

I was thinking about how things change so quickly. People change, places change, priorities change. One year ago, my life was so completely different. Everything that I considered important, is now either a small part of my life, not part of my life at all, or even worse, a part of my life that I wish didn't exist. I'm not saying I'm not happy with how things are now, because I am. I'm just saying, that I find it hard to believe, that they are so incredibly different then they were one year ago. One Year! It seems like such an insignificant amount of time, for such a tremendous change to take place in a person's life. Life is really weird like that. You never know what to expect. You never know how aspects of your life will change. And, you don't know how you'll change. I guess that's what makes it living though.

Anyway, that was just a random thought from my mind that I wanted to get out..and where better to put it then eZabel? Haha.

yo joe you gotta learn to love the present, it's all about the NOW...manifest destiny..whatever doesn't kill us makes us stronger...all that...you know what i'm talking about.

you're young. you're in shape. you've got a fedex jacket.

tinser #1.2.1 tinserOG 2002

umm, manifest destiny refers to the time period in american history when america wanted to spread its land from sea to shining sea...doesn't it?

skaorsk8 #1.2.1.1 skaorsk8OG 2002

What I wish is that I had the last 7 or 8 years to relive. It feels like I've wasted all that time and am never going to catch up with where I should be.

People go through I believe the MOST change from ages 18-21. That is precisely why it's "not advised" to get married during that time, because you will prolly change 100 times. So, good job for being single!!!! :)

tinser #2.1 tinserOG 2002

hahah, thanks...yeah, i've got a minimum marriage age....i think i set it at 23 (minimum), because i can't possibly know what i want before then...and when i get there...whose knows if i'll know then

socalgal #2.2 socalgalOG 2003

Its true, but to me i think its 25. Thats when you're tastes change so much more so, you're more set, job wise, mentally, you're more comfortable with who you are...etc. My tastes in men changed too...

yodasucka #3.1 yodasuckaOG 2003

i totally hear that... when i look at my life last year... theres only one person that i was close to then that is still close to me now :( hurts to look back on that.. hurts even more to c those people and not even be able to say hi...

englandkid #3.1.1 englandkidOG 2003
