life starts here .

life starts here .
it seems that life doesn't actually start when your born as such, but actually starts at some significant stage in your life. eg. your 18th birthday.
so when your 18 all of a sudden your life begins. so if you're 17 and 364 years old your life hasn't started?
what defines 'life'?
- is it the simple act of breathing-blood pumping life?
-is it doing what you like/your passion?
- is it freedom/responsibility?
- or maybe just reaching a certain stage of maturity?

when your 2, your life is simple
by age 5 you start school.
age 12 you enter high school- a big step.
18 you become an adult with adult privileges.
18-40 you might get married/start a family.
Turning 50 is a big milestone.
aged 60+ and you might acquire some grandkids.

all of these are important milestones. but does any particular one define life starting?
is it being able to drink? getting married? having kids?

i think life starts whenever you want- that is life meaning living to the fullest not the simple act of 'just' living.

age doesn't represent a start to life. life starts when you want it to start/when you decide it to.
when you choice to make a change, do what you love. smile. have fun. laugh a bit. live life to the fullest! so what are you waiting for? start living!

we should get jerseys cos we make a good team

today was uneventful. just like the last couple. sometimes i feel like i'm going through the motions, without actually doing much. i spend ages practising the piano and still feel like i haven't achieved anything. it was just an hour of nothingness. i have days of nothingness all the time. wake up, go to school, go to each class, travel home, practise music, eat, do homework, and go to bed. nothing exciting. bland. boring. blah.
its days like today that i think what am i doing with my life?(only not so blunt) its hard to think that all the hard work, bit by bit pays off in the long run. it's hard to see the big picture. i know that i will be rewarded later, but it's often hard to see that. I can be quite short sighted sometimes. i really need to buy some binoculars that aren't as temperamental as my current ones. if only!
i learnt today to enjoy the small things as well. watching packed to the rafters really teaches me some life lessons! at the moment it has to be one of my fave shows. i love it! :)

i love its *honesty *real life situations *humour *family *australianess *characters
ben and mel are so cute! i feel sorry for nathan though, he and sammy were really cute together. it's a shame she left the show :(
rachel and jake are also a cute couple! if only jake didn't have his fits all the time. and ruby is super adorable too! it's funny to watch Julie raise 3 kids 20+ and then a baby at the same time.

thats all for now.
