    Story of Your Life

    If you were asked to write the story of your life, from your earliest memories right on up to the present what title do you think would be your choice ?

    Mine would be, "Down to the Wire". From the simplest event to the most complex event in my life it seems like everything always ends up going to the last few minutes or even seconds. This is a pattern I have noticed from my earliest days onward. Particularly when i have to depend on others.
    I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.

    Short, thus far.

    I like that one. :) It has a sort of positive ring to it. Implies there is a long future to look forward to. Like we used to say back in the 70's "tells it like it is".

    One can only hope. At 25 years old I should a decent length future to look forward to. Id like to say another 50 years but if genetics are any indicator, it will be more like 40. Paternal grandmother and grandfather died young. My grandmother at 46 and my grandfather at 54. Maternal grandmother at 52. My maternal grandfather is still alive at 72 so that is encouraging. However, great uncles and aunts seem to average about mid 60's on both sides.

    That aside, I am not discouraged. You make due with the time afforded to you. If I have any say in the matter, my future will be exciting at the very least. xD

    You have the right attitude. Don't be discouraged and don't give up. Live life to the fullest, stay positive and you'll be alright. Carpe Diem... Seize the day. Try to make every moment count.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
