right now, I am just coasting. I am not living my true life, nor the life that I want to live. I am at a crossroads, not able to decide in which direction to turn. I have made so many mistakes in the past, I hesitate to commit to any one path, since it may lead to disaster. I am cursed to live a life not of my choosing.

Let me try to divide my life on past, present and future. When I live my present life I see no meaning in it and every event (or their absence) doesn't seem to make any sense, so often I find myself puzzled on a question what's next? what do all these things happening to me mean? I never have the answer (loosing many sleepless nights trying to find it). And then there comes a moment when that "present" (with all it's problems) suddenly becomes my past. And looking back at it I clearly see the meaning and the reasons and the sense. At that very point I am realising that I AM actually living MY life. That things that are in my past now have made what I am now, and were absolutely necessary for my "self-evolution". Every day, every smile and cry and every person who gave me something and took something from me, every thought that appeared in mind (answering one of your questions :-)) - had an impact on my personality and through that on my future. But I am not just responding, I am as well choosing what to respond on every minute of my life. And that choice, I believe, is maybe the only thing that I have and that makes my life real.

To be honest. Im a responder in the wake of life. I do not excert energy to sway life one way or another. I'm just here. I feel like I'm a part of this world and this life to be an interaction for the people who have a real life. I understand not everyone is ment for great things and I'm happy regardless of myself being an average joe with no thoughts of leaving a legacy. I just take life as it comes and respond to the things that happen.

In my real life that I was meant for, I would be living on a farm in the middle of nowhere, with my vegetable garden and my animals. In my life how it is now, I'm just suffering from day to day in the crowded, ugly city. This is a weird, but interesting question, if I understood it right. It could be that I'm way off base.

I had a terrible up bringing with my mom. I never had a good male figure around ,never saw a loving relationship in my family. I never thought I would be capable of having all the things I never had, But I do I have a wonderful loving husband and 2 beautiful sons. Sometimes I just sit back and think I cant believe my life I have it made!!!!!!!!

All are living in real life.What happens is that some people make their own lives independant of others and circumstances.They influence others and sometimes the society and the country,if not the world.They are strong people.Others submit themselves to circumstances and external compulsions.They live an ordinary life.Most of the people live an ordinary life.They donot leave any foot prints except date of birth and date of death in the Register of Births and Death of local Muncipal /Town authority.

i believe i am stuck on the treadmill of modern society. I have made life altering decisions to try to get my life on the track that will make me most happy, but then the world turns and you have to respond. in my ideal life id be free..im not sure what i mean by free, but at the moment i feel bogged down with work, responsibilities, bills etc and dont seem to have the freedom to enjoy or just be,much. not sure if that makes sense really. but most of us find ourselves on a materialistic journey(get a job, get a house, have to pay for house, need more money, get more demanding job, have less free time) and find that it doesnt buy freedom and happiness.

After reaching a "magical" age, I started to make conscious, healthy decisions about my life. Up to that point, I wasn't living my real life - just responding.
Living your real life means making pro-active choices for yourself. It's realizing that you can only make yourself happy. It's being kind to yourself. It's standing up for what you believe in and not being ashamed of it. It's being real to yourself and all around you.
Thanks for a great question!

i didnt ask to be born, but i was. idont ask to die, but i will. i AM an old timer. i figure that only the good die young, so i will probably live forever. can you imagine living forever in THIS world? perish the thought. i spend a lot of time trying to picture the length of the void. time and space thing. mind boggling. well, i didnt ask to be born, but i am here nevertheless, so i live it.the best way i can. so reacting is a possibility, but i prefer to live it. make much sense? ======i meant responding, not reacting.

This is a very good question!Responding is part of living or we would be on life-support.When we are hungry we respond on eating and when we are thirsty we respond on drinking.Life depends on responding.When a baby cry`s what do you do ? You respond.
