How many days have you been alive?

Guest

For me, it's 6,618. However- was I really living that life, or just cruising though?

What comes to your mind when the numbers are laid out for you?

6568 days. I think it's quite a waste of life. It makes me feel worse when I look at the hours and minutes convertion. Oh my...

Really, it just makes me realise how much human time I've wasted, with little to show for it. Then again, how can you really live your life? o.O; It's a really weird thing to ponder on.

"living life" I suppose is any moment you are doing something you can truly say "I want to be doing this" to yourself during the process of doing it (imo, anyway) In other words: when you don't feel like a waste of time and space.

So that's pretty much the difference between existing and living... Makes sense, I suppose. I'd like to feel like I'm not a waste, perhaps, at some point. It'd be interesting to see if I notice the difference between now and whenever that'll be.

Just saying 18 years makes you feel so small, yet when you say 6000whatever, then it kinda makes you feel weird, or is that just me?

It is a perfectly valid arguement to say that every single thing that lives is a waste.. The trick I suppose is to not care about things like that o.O I know for one thing that I'm a waste- but do I care? no.

I'll have lived roughly 6205 days by Jan 21st....

I don't think I've wasted those days one bit, I've shared them with the most important people of my life...

8,782 days as of today, I kinda like the way I've spent my time...maybe don't like the fact that most of that was in a school of some kind *chuckles*.

6233 days~

I've been spending most of my times in the same school for years (from kindergarten to high school grade) and it's kind of boring for me...

But I don't think I've waste my time too much... :3
