tell me about something huge in your life that happened that changed you or how you approached things.

no such thing has happened to me yet but it might soon change...... once i get my matrix-revisited VHS!!! :D

Hmm..let's just say I've learnt to stop being so naive and trustworthy with little boys...but learnt it the hard way..bleh. :confused: :/

i've learned that in the end you stand alone so ultimately look after yourself because ultimately everybody has their own concerns and the only person you can truly depend upon is yourself. to that end you should always make sure your well-being is ensured in any situation because if you go out on a limb it is only yourself who will have to recover from a fall...

 

;)

Woah, that's really powerful. Maybe I should take what you said in cause i think i need to learn a thing or two about that...

Hicksy, very wise words, cheers mate!

 

Really, there’s no particular happening that’s changed me into who I have become. Those “happenings” are life’s little miracles; in my case, they’re hard to pinpoint. Genetics mixed with one of a kind life-experience is what makes us all so unique. Trouble is, I couldn’t say why I’m the way I am for any given reason, that would be giving too much credit for just one event.

i have to agree with all 3 of you.

Finding out about Coldplay really changed my live I think, it just changed the way I look at everything and the way I spend my time.

interesting

this is going to sound stupid, but studying Sociology has really opened my eyes to a lot of things, and I THINK I'm more tolerant of people in general. The downside is I've become A LOT more cynical about most things :/

And pixiesdrawingfaces - I love your avatar!! :D

thank you. they are the 2nd best band!!!! :P

I have to completely disagree with what Simon said. There's a difference between playing your cards right to live a life with no pain, and playing it way too safe as to not have a life at all. Sometimes you gotta take risks, for loved one's, for what feels right at the time, and if you dont you could end up alone.

 

Its weird that you talk about what you've learned Simon, because if you do live your life like that from now on you wont be learning much else.

ah good luck!!! :cool:

 

 

thank you thank you. and yes Idlewild DO rock :D

thanks Maya as well :D

your welcome ;)

I've learned that you can really influence people with what you say, and you can make a difference in someones life by the little things you do. I'm a musican and when I write songs and sing them to people, I've had people come up to me and tell me that what I just wrote and shared with them, really made a difference in their lives and that by listening to one of my songs, it made them feel good about themselves or happy etc, they had something to relate too, and I'm really very happy to have made such an impact on other peoples lives, It's like I'm doing a good deed, it feels great :)

i disagree with you, that is a very cynical outlook i don't think you should be so pessimistic with humanity. there are some who are out for themselves but i am sure there are people in your life that would do a lot for you (close family and friends).

Wish I could be a musician! :D That's awesome!

thanks for the people that took this thread seriously and wrote answers from the heart :)

I think that you definetly should watch for your own well-being but I also agree that you can depend on family and friends to be there for you. Especially family. But, I guess it depends on your situation. :/
