Ever feel as if you have wasted your life or at least many years of it? I recently turned 18 (no Happy Birthdays plz, it's passed) and I've taken the time to look back at all the things I have and haven't done...kinda makes me sad, some of the things I can't go back and change...all the loves never pursued, just seems like a waste...
To all you young peeps take advantage of your easy adolescence...I look back and now wish I was younger again...and I'm not even in my middle age crisis yet...not looking forward to that either.
I know how you feel, I'll be turning 22 on June 13th and I really don't feel I have anything to show for it other than cynical sarcasm.

I'm turning 21 on Monday, and ditto. Sure, I've overcome a lot of odds and fought through a lot of bad shit, but I'm still missing that relationship that could make me whole. I've never really come remotely close.

hey I'm in the same boat as wise in dec. I can drink but I still want a girl for myself *sigh* this sucks sometimes I better stop before I depress myself
Considering that I've even lived to be this old despite everything that's happened to me is an accomplishment.
...and yeah, I went thought something like that when I turned 19. Sort of a pre-adulthood crisis. I decided to take up martial-arts, and it turned out pretty good, despite my never having had a chance to use it in a real fight.

Hit the nail on the had dude.
I am 16 but I already managed to waste a lo of time.
Ilook back see what I could have done.
But one smart man sad:
There are no choices nothing but a streight line the illusion comes afterwards when jou ask Why me? and what if? you start to see the branches like a tree proomed banzaj tree.
I am 18 and was featured in Time magazine, sucks to be you!
hmm...i'm 16, and IMO(no offence to you Blackphoenix) i'm still young enough to expirence life.
Well I just turned 25 and I envy every fucking last one of you. You think you're old? Whatever. I remember feeling the same way when I was 18, then 20, then 23, and you know what? I pretty much wasted a third of my adolescence worrying that it was coming to a close, which is pretty pointless, don't you agree?
This is the only life you'll ever have, so save your midlife crisises until you're 40 and get up and do the things you've always wanted to do! Sure, things are hard, but they always will be and they always have been. You've only just turned old enough to see it for what it's always been, that's all. Nothing's changed.
Go out and be the person you've always wanted to be! Please![/b]
