What becomes more important in life as you age?

[WindRavenX]

Over the course of college, I've discovered that for me, it's:

1)music. It gets you through the worst times in your life-- the times when your heart aches and you want everyone to go away. See: Damien Rice, Elliott Smith, etc.

2)true friends. Not the kind that you just get drunk with/smoke with, but the kind that stay up in the wee small hours of the morning listening to your hopes, dreams, and fears.

3)siblings. My sister and I hated each other growing up (due to some serious family issues), but now we're extremely tight.

I'd love to hear more! :hi:

1. Hmmm

1. Hair - I keep losing it where I want it, and it starts growing where it's damn difficult to get rid of it. Electrolysis and shaving hurt...

2. Metabolism. 'nuff said.

3. Anything I can get. I wasted enough of my life on an impossible dream.

2. It's not all about the money, it's about quality of life.

3. yup

I've finally stopped doing what society says I ought to do, and boy, I'm so much happier :)

4. For me

Relationships, Health and finding joy in the simple things.
Sharing whatever I have. Random acts of kindness. Putting my
whole heart into my hobbies. Oh yeah and spoiling my cat.

13. You're still in COLLEGE and you think you've AGED???

Important things to me:

-an unbroken night of deep sleep (without being woken by leg cramps)

-a still, peaceful room with just a small fan blowing across me while I sit reading.

-good friends who don't expect anything from me, but they still call up just to say "hey!"

-a cat that's slept on my chest each night for the past eleven years, and knows how to wake me with a gentle touch of her paw on my forehead when she wants to be fed.

14. The welfare of others

and the planet

Love - not just romantic

Sharing - love, resources, information, stories

Health

The 'simple' things - a beautiful sunset, enjoying time with loved ones/friends, a beautiful piece of art/music...being in the moment
