Are you where you wanted to be?

Lalaith · 04-26-2003, 01:44 PM

Hey out there. I just read the lyrics of a song and I decided to ask you if you are where you wanted to be. Do you spend your time with doing what you want, or are you still not at your "perfect" place.

And here a part of the lyrics:

Are you where you wanted to be?
Did you get there easily?
Did you sell off all of your gold
Did you trade it in?
Did you wait for love
Or settle for somebody to hold?

While I decided
To make everyone else happy
I just put aside
My foolish pride
I guess I denied
My own desire
I was too busy pleasing
To ever be pleased
I forgot how to breathe
Or question anything
Or ask why?
Am I?

Am I where I wanted to be?
Did I get here easily?
Did I make a sacrifice?
Did I take a sharp left
When I should have turned right?
Am I where I wanted to be?
Can I sell off all of my gold?
Can I trade it in?
Will I wait for love
Or settle for somebody to hold.

Hmm, that's an interesting question. From a geographic point of view I'm where I want to be. But I don't spend my time doing what I want, mainly because I don't have time. But even when I have time, I don't spend it wisely.

congressmn · 04-26-2003, 03:08 PM

Oh well i am so disconnected with my world even though i have broadband, so it really doesn't matter.

Fimbrethil · 04-26-2003, 03:52 PM

I don't know being as I'm only 13....
Enough said.

frodosgirlfriend · 04-26-2003, 05:10 PM

I'm only 12 but in my 12 year old mind I'm not where i want to be, I want to move to Ithica and out of hick-vill. With what i do with my life, i'm also not where i want to be. I want to be a good person and i don't know how good i'm doing seeing that my father likes to put me down

.

LuthienTinuviel · 04-26-2003, 05:19 PM

Mentally i am where i want to be, for being 17.
sometimes that's not good ( just look at wayfarers vent in the Temp. Venting thread)

geographically, no. i would want to live in iceland, or New Zealand. (BoP, im coming for YOU!)

i think that my job is ok ( i work at a pet store)
all my pets are healthy
my art is coming along beautifully (STILL waiting for that *&%&$ epoxy to dry)

but, i still have to go to film school and make lots of movies (good movies) and theni have to have an english bull dog, black lab and english (or bull) mastiff. when i do this and move, that will be my dream.

it makes me very happy to think about this. my mood just rose 10 points!

Ianua · 04-26-2003, 06:00 PM

Umm...Not really
I want to reherse my acting more, and i wish i practised my piano,
but with my homework i don't get time, and i wish my marks were better, But, on the up-side, for 15-years, i'm still doing my art,
Still reading.....

Coney · 04-26-2003, 06:08 PM

Am I where I want to be?

Hmm, sometimes I think that I've done quite a bit in the last (almost) 30 yrs but just when I think it's time to relax a little, maybe settle into a routine, something new happens!

So no, I don't think I'm where I want to be, in fact I'm pretty sure I don't actually know where I want to be ..........

Ask me again in another 30

Anglorfin · 04-27-2003, 01:54 AM

Geographically speaking I'd rather live somewhere in Scandinavia or Japan. On the other side, if I spent time doing what I wanted I'd be dead by now. Either by pissing people off or dying of my own lethargy.

BeardofPants · 04-27-2003, 02:52 AM

Not too interested in remaining where I am geographically. Once I finish off my post-grad studies, I will probably make my way over to Europe somewhere, or America maybe - depending on what the political clime is like when I'm ready to leave. I'm still working out exactly what I want to do in terms of a career. I'm currently studying for a science diploma, specialising is GIS which is sort of like an information based system which utilises mapping and other related stuff.

Lalaith · 04-27-2003, 03:39 AM

That question wasn't so about the geographic place you are but your life situation.

Giroth · 04-27-2003, 02:14 PM

to tell the truth I AM where I want to be.

Though my family does not have a LOT of money,or live in a mansion or something,
I am at complete satisfaction
with my family and
life in general.

I have my music,my family,and my love of writing,
and all are enough for me.

I feel I am not searching for the thing that makes me happy or that will,
because I already have that

wOOOOOOt!

Sween · 04-27-2003, 02:27 PM

im not at all where i wanted to be but where i am at is great and i love it. The way i saw my life when i was younger would have me cruiseing round the world not doing anything particually productive or cost effeciant.

But where i am is i have a very good job a lovely wife to be and a beautiful child and a great set of mates. All in all my life looks like been one full of happiness (like my job and my lady) and little doubt. How many 19 year olds could say that?

Blackboar · 04-27-2003, 02:29 PM

My parents never stop arguing, I live in England, but other than that, yeah, pretty much!

i'm only 14 but i guess i'm not exactly where i want to be. I like my life but there's alot i'd change about it. for the most part though, i'm where i want to be.

i couldn't be happier geologically

Ornelírë Mistë · 04-27-2003, 07:21 PM

Nope, not at all. I want to move to the city. And I certainly don't do what I want- I can't.
