What i Have Learnt so Far - I have learnt that friends are important to me, i have learnt that you definately learn from your mistakes and mistakes are how we learn in life in most cases.

My life has been sweet. I've grown up with lots of friends (I know you wouldn't say), parents still together, good grades, yada yada yada. Nothing wrong so far. What I have learned so far - Tons of stuff actually, but friends and networking is /are really important. Really. What I look forward to - University, and hopefully setting up a nice business

I've learned that I can't count on other people. There are some people you can't trust, but you won't know who they are until they violate your trust. But, YES, there are people you can trust, and they are the greatest people you will ever know. If you want anything done, only believe in yourself. Like they told me at summer camp back in the day, "If its to be, ITS UP TO ME!!!"

My Life Has Been- Intense. The low points have come more often than the high ones, but all memories have been extremities. I Have Learned- The way you live your life accounts for your happiness or sorrow. You must learn to take each moment with a grain of salt in order to better handle what may come tomorrow. I Look Forward To- Having the time and means to accomplish some of my goals. Such as going to college and meeting someone I can see myself with forever. I also can't wait to get old, to tell you the truth. I want to be part of the Red Hat Society.

MY LIFE: Pretty normal and calm, and I'm content with that... Born, nothing exciting happening, sister, nothing exciting happening, rabbit #1 dies, grandpa #1 has a stroke (not enough oxygen to brain) and is now handicapped with ('luckily') just a disadvantage in eye-sight, hearing, and language (he cannot speak or listen normally anymore... he hears our words as the random gibberish he himself utters, and he gets mad very quickly... but on a good day, he's pretty alright), we get a dog, rabbit #2 dies, grandpa #2 dies of a heart failure after a long history of heart problems, present day... WHAT I'VE LEARNT SO FAR: Carpe Diem... Live life to the fullest, have as much fun as you can, within the boundaries of possibility of course (i.e. it shouldn't mess up in your work, school, or shouldn't be against moral standards)... Get GOOD friends... And don't be discouraged when there is a negative period in your life when everything goes wrong, as you LEARN from your MISTAKES and negative experiences... WHAT I LOOK FORWARD TO: I look forward to every day left in my life... literally... I love my life, and can't wait for another day to begin... And to the second season of 'The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya', of course ^^

MY LIFE: My life has been quite an experience so far. I spent the first half of it making horrible choices and terrible mistakes, leaving a trail of misery and destruction in my wake. I've spent most of the remainder of it making hard choices that resulted in incredible challenges. I wouldn't go back and change a single one of those choices. I also live an incredibly blessed life - born into a nation that invests sovereignty in the individual and which still recognizes more individual liberty than probably any place else on earth, my family and I enjoy staggering wealth, comfort and good health when compared with the vast majority of the world's population. Life is almost incomprehensibly wonderful. WHAT I'VE LEARNED SO FAR: God will provide. WHAT I LOOK FORWARD TO: Every moment I have remaining in this life, and whatever comes next.

My Life - My life is boring and has been the same for the past 4 or more years, not much to say about it really, I get high 90's in school, and my parents are still together, I feel like I wasted alot of time on just doing nothing, and missed out on young love which is why I feel like my teenage years were wasted, I don't hang around people that much considering I'm a major introvert and as soon as I hang around a group of people I'm usualy in the background saying not much at all, and wanting to be on my own again, hard to find people in real life that have much in common with me, it's hard to say but my best friends are mainly the ones on the internet, I just can't compare some of you to my friends at school. What i Have Learnt so Far - I've learned not to force nothing or think about it too much, you either get sick of it, or get stressed out, I learned to dedicate my life to my own hobbies and thats where I put all my energy into. What I Look Forward To? - Mastering lds and using them for self improvement, to become more confident, and to enjoy real life experiences I didn't get to enjoy yet or maybe never will get to enjoy, I look forward to getting used to life supporting myself and just knowing that my future will be ok instead of worrying about it now.

My Life - has ben changing everyday. I change my mind about things everyday. Things and people around me change. I dont like changes.... What I have Learned - trust nobody, you can only depend on yourself. The only person who has unconditional love for you is your mother, or the one who has raised you. Everybody is fake, they will turn on you. True love is rare, nearly impossible to find. Knowledge is power. Trust in yourself and God. Hope is everything. Life goes on. What I look Forward to- Becoming something, Phd, Traveling the world, Most importantly helping others and Finally Resting in Peace.

MY LIFE: Well at 25 I have experienced quite a lot compared to my friends. My parents split when i was just 10 (I think). I have made some really bad mistakes in my childhood. I lived in a rough area full of violence and drugs, Ok it was not that bad, but was still a bad area. I got bad grades at school, and was destined to add to the millions of bums in the UK on the doll! BUT I changed my life around at 19. Since I have worked my way into a really great job with amazing prospects for me. I have been engaged, and lived with a partner. I have a lot of friends who I care about and have met some amazing people in my time. I am trying to live life to the fullest, travelling as much as I can, doing as much as I can. I feel blessed to have the life I do now, when you think about how bad a lot of other people have it. Just missing someone to share this with. WHAT I'VE LEARNT SO FAR: Be careful who you trust. Make friends not enemies. Treat girls with respect. Dont piss into the wind or eat yellow snow. WHAT I LOOK FORWARD TO: Living my life the way I do. Continue to take every opportunity presented to me the best I can. Meeting the girl of my dreams and having a loving family. Seeing my little brother and sisters growing up. Continuing to help and support my parents the way they did for me when I needed them. I look forward to living

My Life - has been crazy, to say the least. It's been full of very abusive parents, mentally and physically, drugs, loneliness, and really bad things I don't feel comfortable telling everyone about. Bad things I've done... What I have Learned - Life sucks. It hurts less if you don't get your hopes up. If you have a dream, you might not get there and you'll just be disappointed. Just go with the flow. You can't depend on other people. In the end, you're on your own. I'll be ok by myself... I've made it this far by myself. I don't need anyone. What I look Forward to - Getting high in a few hours? Not much, really. I want to have a family and stuff one day. I want to have kids and I want to be a good father, so my kids don't turn out fucked up like me. I don't really see this happening for me though.

My Life - My life is. What i Have Learnt so Far - Don't get close to anyone. People have nothing but selfishness within. What I Look Forward To? - Killing you all.

[Ric W]

My Life - So far so good. I'm not pushing up daisies though I have come pretty close on aoccasion. I don't let anything stress me out as its just not worth it. I'm feel secure in myself and am quite happy. What I have learnt so far - Family is something to keep hold of. Keep a close eye on others who try to get too close, and seem over eager to please. What I look forward to - My business taking off. A summer evening, an endless winding road, and my Jaguar with full fuel tanks. Regards Ric

My life: In the words of one of my favorite Grateful Dead songs,"What a long strange trip it's been". I've loved my life up to this point. I feel like my whole life is a party, and I'm the guest of honor. So, I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing. What I've learned: Life is an adventure, if you are willing to let it be. You can learn any number of things in any new experience be it bad or good. I've also learned never to hold too tightly to possesions or money. Granted, we need both to a point, but they get in the way of who we truly are, and let these material goods control our lives and pin us down. Give stuff away. And for goodness sake, love people. What I look forward to: Every second my life has to offer me from this point on. Hell yeah.

Hey, I was just curious to what life has taught any of you members out there. I wanted some opinions off people about what there life has been like so far and what they have learnt from life so far and also what you look forward to in life. My Life - My life has been bumpy and probably for the better since I'm more prepared for the future and know what sort of things may lie ahead. What i Have Learnt so Far - I have learnt that friends are important to me, i have learnt that you definitely learn from your mistakes and mistakes are how we learn in life in most cases. What I Look Forward To? - I look forward to seeing the world and hoping that i can make a difference somehow to some of the current problems around the world, i want to help people and i wish to live life to the full. My Life - My life has been full of wonder, mystery, joy, loneliness, drug use and depression. I would say that now I have conquered the worst parts of my life and just beginning my quest into the unknown with full seriousness. I feel extremely joyful just thinking of the wonders that await me, and my life has changed from horribly lonely, hopeless and depressed into one of joy, wonder, hope and happiness. What I have learned so far - I have learnt that there is much more to my physical existence and consciousness, and I have learnt that the possibilities of life are truly limitless. I have learnt how to see things from a completely different perspective or none at all through my use of DXM and other psychedelics, plus all of the other experiences I have had without drugs. I've learnt that having friends who understand you are extremely important, and that love is simply a chemical release in your brain that doesn't mean anything unless the partner is truly compatible with you, or else falling in love only causes trouble and blinds you. What I look forward to - I look forward to exploring the cosmos and the astral realms. I look forward to trying all kinds of new psychedelics. I look forward to reaching much higher states of consciousness and discovering the secrets of existence. I look forward to exploring all the infinite possibilities with psionics. I look forward to showing people psionics and whatever is going to happen in 2012.

Cool topic, Lucid Seeker. My Life - Went through elementary school very naive of the surrounding world, like any kid. When my parents divorced in grade 3 I learned there's a lot more anger and unbalance to the world than I normally thought. In grade 6 I had zero friends, partially because we moved much further away from my school. Before grade 7 I changed completely and everything has been good since. Grade 9 I got caught up in my groups actions and started smoking weed... eventually got caught 'cause I was irresponsible. I didn't stop; starting smoking weed at school as well as doing e at home, then I got caught on e and cut everything lose altogether. Moved to a new city in grade 11, depression for a couple months, and now I'm moving back with my dad to graduate with all my old friends. What I Have Learnt so Far - I have learned that the older I get the more I know about myself. I have also learned that I shouldn't take everything I see for granted; this life, this body, this family. We may only have one chance at this life so why not enjoy it? I know that I can handle things that many people cannot, whether referring to drugs or change. Ah, that brings to mind another thing I've learned... I am very capable of adapting. What I Look Forward To? - I look forward to seeing if my life amounts to anything exciting, to seeing which ways the people currently in my life go; namely my friends from school. I look forward to improving my singing and guitar, maybe picking up some other instruments along the way. But most of all I look forward to living my life.
