Are you living your own life?

Was just thinking about this last week, as I was getting into the car for a quick drive. Turned on the radio and Rush was singing,"...I will choose free will!..."

Sort of. There are things I'm stuck with because of other people.

My main reason for carrying on is my daughter. If not for her, I'd probably be homeless and laying in a ditch somewhere.... having given up.... Or chilling at mom's... like my little brother.

I'm living Bob's life.

> I'm living Bob's life.


What did you do to Bob??!

I can't tell you.....or I'll have to do the same to you.

I thought of you the other day. I was behind a car with a tag that said 'theysay'. I wanted to follow them and tell them I personally know they.

Yes.

Yes and no, my life is a compromise, sorta.

You totally should have!

I'm trying to live the life that's expected of me, I just don't know what's expected of me all the time.

Yes, most definitely.

I like to think so.

Yes i am living my very own life and after 40 years of letting somebody else live my life for me

I guess.

Yes, and that leads to a lot of objection.

I can picture their face when some crazy woman came up and said that.

Compromise. I have lived my own and I have lived it for what I thought would make family happy and now I live a compromise.

And then you could volunteer the information about what you did to Bob.

Repeating myself from another survey....... I'm a puppet on a string for some unseen force that tortures me for kicks.

I'm a teen so unfortunately not.

No way! No one can ever have that information.

Definitely. I may not have all the options I'd like, but I steer my life within them, and dedicate my life to pursuing whatever I feel like.

No I'm living Harriet Wilson's life. Is her husband hot I'll tell you....

i think so...............did you hear otherwise?

I try but the demon inside would rather I live his life..............

Actually, I'm living her life.

Probably not, but I don't really care anymore.

Mostly.

Yes - I'm doing what I want, where I want to do it. I get the final decision in all of the choices that I have to make.

I certainly hope so, otherwise someone is going to be pissed!

Yes and no. Sometimes all I do is try to make other people happy. But I cannot make them do anything. And when I live my own life I end up feeling lonely. I like to compromise, but when others do not make any attempt at meeting me half way on some things, I end up on the other side of the spectrum cleaning the tear stains off of my glasses.

Who else's life would I be living? Yours?
