Lately ive been thinking about life. I am only 20 but i feel like i am 30. I am starting to notice who my real friends are and it is really surprising (spell check) to realize that alot of people that you thought you were cool with are no longer then for minor or stupid reasons. Its cool tho i gues its just part of growing up. If there is one thing i learned that is completly true is that life in no joke and the real world will smack you rite in the face.
i made this thread to see how many of you guys are going through the same thing. and to see how the rest of you that have already fully matured handled growing up.
Life is hard!!
just sit back let go and let god deal with it!!

I'm right with you but slightly passed. Well kinda...My job holds many responsibilities, so for that I feel like an old bastard. Only 23, I feel like I've been there done that. From partying, to breaking up with the love of your life, I left no shelf untouched. It happens. But when you can take the time to enjoy something, DO IT. Find your release in life. Don't become another victim of Corporate America. You'll be another zombie in a football field of brains. Life will throw curveballs at you. Adjust, and hit that bitch out of the park.

yeah well 7 years ago.. i struggled and made friends when i left my home after graduation.. 5 years ago.. i couldnt sleep thinkin bout where my life was goin to go.. noticing all my childhood friends have gone their way on becomming something in their lives.. then 4 years ago.. i joined the marines. the last night before i left for training.. i caught my gurl with another guy.. and the friends i made knew bout it for 2 months before i the day i found out.. trust and loyalty are my two main things.. since then.. ive blocked my life away from these problems..because life is too short to worry bout problems.. and im on a steady road now.. another 4 more years in the marines and college would be my next step..
but ya man.. i feel ya.. its life.. u have friends and family in ur world.. but only u can control it.. u gotta be happy with ur life or satisfied before anyone else.. i like to always say.. but keep them close.. well aite then bro.. keep ur head up.. life is too short for problems..
"Passion is in the blood. Desire is in the will. Prepare to be mentally strong. Till the day the earth stood still. Everyone in the world will turn. Up as they glance upon you. Everyone will witness as your weakness will burn. As you will be reborn to someone true. The passion, desire and will is all you need in life." *by me*[#] Sep 06, 2008 10:19pm TheFantasticG

Life IS a joke...
No one gets out alive. How is that for suckage?
Worrying about who are "true" friends and whatnot ... I left that behind when I left high school. I don't worry about b.s. like that. Too busy trying to pay a mortgage and staying happy. Because in the end, if you aren't happy, life just sucks.

I kinda already knew that some friends would grow apart, and that life would get a bit more harder. But, I just sit back and let my life run with nothing to really worry about, besides work and school, moneys and bills. I guess you just have to accept it and work with it.
I haven't lost any of my friends, maybe cause i rarely had any, but i'm glad to have people in my life, it helps it make it worth smiling each day.
already a lot of you guys are really starting to grow me. *happy tears.
I LOVE YOU GUYS! *HUGS! lol...

Yeah, man I'm only 17 and have a lot of stuff to go through, but what you are going through has happened to me already. People that I thought were my friends, completely ditched me for stupid things. But if I have learned anything from that, I have found out who actually cares and my life could not be any better right now =]. For you, it will all come around eventually. Trust me, I may be a lot younger than you, but I know exactly what your going through. Give it some time man.

for Hire
Growing up is over rated. Buddhists spend their entire lives trying to return their minds to the open innocent mind of a child. Allowing yourself to be weighed down by such trivial concerns is counter productive to mental health. Treat the big things like littel things. Treat the little things like big things. Surround yourself with people you trust and love. The rest will all fall into place as long as you don't try to force it, but if you keep staring at the pot the water will never boil.

haha and here i thought i was the only one who felt like this. Im barely turning 21 in about 2 weeks (2 woot woot), i moved out of my house to another state about May of this year. I was scared cause that was it im "officially" an adult. I dont have family to fall back upon when i screw up, no parents to pay for bills or to even cook dinner. Life straight up smacked me in the face. It still seems unreal to me how it all happened, but eventually you get used to it. But in my cases...my friends didn't "gor up" there doing the same thing working the same medocure (w/e u spell it) jobs, and still living at home. I was the one to move on and get a very very early start with my career. I didnt want to leave cause i was too worried about leaving my friends and partying. But My dad told me, thats what he did, and his friends didnt last forver he missed out of a hell of a career, cause he was to worried about not having fun with his friends, and that only last for like 2 years. Like peopple mentioned above, lifes to short...enjoy every aspect of it while you can, and dont sweat the lil shit..sometimes its just not worth it.

its funny how when you hit certain ages you start realizing whats important and whats not. For the longest time I partied non stop was out every night at some club with my then boyfriend.. never really thinking about the things at home.. I was in college for a long time and lived at home during most the time.. Once I got out on my own and away from my friends that I partied with I realized that the important things I searched for are right there.. My family, to some its not family but other things. I don't let myself get consumed with work anymore. Granted I am in my 'career' an I LOVE my job, but the second I get up from my desk and walk out of the office I don't give work a 2nd thought..
Like everyone said life is too short, don't sweat the small stuff.. and please don't take this the wrong way, I'm older than most of you that posted on here, you still got lots of time to grow up trust me.. Live life, I don't mean go out and party, but enjoy yourself, you deserve it.

yeah i dont ever wanna grow up, if i could stay 18 forever i would, well i cant that yet cause i turn 18 october 30th, but yeah im not looking forward to ebing on my own, paying my own bills, cooking my own meals and all that jaz, i mean im in college now and this is enough being on my own for me.
I amde this decision a while ago that i am never going to live on my own. Im gonna stay home until i find the girl i know im going to marry. i mean ive been going with with my gf now for almost a year and shes different then other girls ive been with and its legit like we're best friends but we do love eachother. we both say we can see ourselves living together. But i love my family and i love being home, so why not stay there as long as i can?
k that was kind of a rant but w.e lol. growing up sucks
bottom line lol

^^^cant really sum it up any better then that.
but as far as friends or ones that u used to be cool with. all u can do is give every1 enough rope to hang themselves. this includes family as well. all i can say is if you feel that the crowd your in is not in your best interest, cut yr losses and shift to a better group.
its ok to have fun and goof off. but u have to know the crowd your in is not gonna be the type to leave u in the dust if u need them.
i had a friend of mine that thought his crowd was the sh!t. but when it came down to it his crowd ran off and he caught a pair of brass knuckles to the side of the head.
although he pretty much deserved it coz he has a big mouth. but there has to be a common root to where every1 can agree on. keep each other out of trouble. if u wanna talk sh!t do it with the ones in the crowd that know yr just fooling around.
so what if life sucks. either live it up or bite the bullet or wich ever way u decide to go out.
the thing i learned the most is:
in time everyone forgets (your no exception)
so just surround yrself with people that u can trust.

i thought the same thing when i was your age....i'm now 33 (single, never been married) and don't regret one thing in my life, well maybe i should have tried harder in high school. as the ol' saying go's: if i only knew then what i know now. this is so true. like so many others have said, cherish every moment because before you know it, high school ends, college starts, then ends, people move away, people unfortunately pass away, etc...its funny how smart i thought i was when i was 18, 21, 25 and so on. life is one big learning experience!!!
my motto is to 'live while i live'.
