I believe it was Bacon who said that "those who say they are happy are missing the point". I know now that this is completely true, that one cannot know if they truly lived a good life until they've seen it, can look back and really see everything. I'm 18 and know this is true looking back on hs, knowing how much more fun, how much happier i could have been. Does anyone know how to approach things though if you don't truly know? I always thought I knew everything, and I now know I knew more than most, but just a few little things would have made a major difference. Anyone know how to approach this?? How do you truly know if you can look back one day and say you are proud and lived a good life, if you can't really know at the this moment in the present??
Looking back now that im a sr, 3 things would have made me blissfully happy if they did. very minor, but would've made me now sleep soundly, completely satisfied. UNBELIEVABLE, but the truth. instead, i feel i wasted a lot.
