Have you had any huge suprises?

No, because I had no expectations.
I followed Confucis, "the man who doesn't know where he's going ends up going the furthest"

I got married at 16 when i expected to get married when i was much older (27-ish).. but the time was right, what can i say?
I took four years to finish grade 12. I should have been done when i was 14... now i'm 19 (graduated when i was 18)
I actually took the plunge and went on a road trip by myself. That was so damn liberating. It was just me and great music the entire way. I loved every minute of it and intend to do it again next week perhaps.
So i guess the point i'm trying to make is that i try not to ever expect anything of my life. I deal with it on a day-to-day basis so that i don't get disappointed. Imagine i plan out my whole life and then i die tomorrow. That sound suck (major understatement)...
So i like surprises.
They make me feel alive..

My life has soooo not turned out the way I thought. When I was younger I thought I'd get married, have kiddies, have my own house, be filthy rich and move far far away from where I am. Not that my life is such a disappointment - I have 2 great kids, I'm working and I do ok........... I just thought I would have done better. I am always working on improving it though and my life is a long way from being over! You never know whats round the corner do you?

My life has turned out better than my wildest dreams hoped it would, I've had lots of surprises and even some huge ones but they are for the good and not the bad, didn't have the best start in life but the wait was worth what I have now and I wouldn't swap it for all the money in the world.

I always expected to go to a university away from home right after graduating highschool, but I ended up working full time, and take a class here and there in a community college. It's been 5 and a half years sinc I graduated from h.s., and now it's finally going in a direction I was hopin to be by this age... I was very lost and disoriented w/ what a wanted to w/ my life. And now I feel that I'm on the right path..

My life is totally different to the way I expected it to go. When I was about 16 I had a plan. Needless to say by the time I was 16½ it was no more. I'm not sure I would change anything though. Except I probably wouldn't get married.

I have to admit that my life for me is a huge surprise all the time... I didn't expect THAT at all. At the age of 17 I had very clear idea how it's will look like. But I had unexpected UFO nearly above my head and ever since my life is completely out of any prediction and full of surprises big and small
