Life

What constitues a life?

People say all the time, 'Get a life'. i wonder what does it mean to have 'a life'. Does it simply mean, breathe and interact with the surroundings? or?

What do u do when u 'get a life'?

some people say i dun have a life, and all my time is spent in music. True, i dun go and dota like my whole class does (okay not all but most), i dun go for that many class outings, u dun see me going to cinemas all the time, i dun go and play soccer all the time (unlike Sec 2), i dun sit in the canteen and chit chat every break, i dun play cards with my class all the time. Gosh, i dun even feel interested in the games of hearts, bridge, chinese chess, blah blah blah. I do play them, once in a while, but not to the extent that every break i play it, or even in lectures!!!

some people say no life = mugging. in that case, wow i do have a life. unless u count spending time on the piano mugging. heh.

Okay, after listing down the things i dun do, i think it is only right to justify why, if it needs justifying at all.

first, and last, i have no time. ha.

Which is why most of the time, u see me rushing around, or arranging things on the phone, frantically messaging, trying to squeeze in a short phone call here and there, trying desparately to take a break when most people are, well, mugging. ha. and why i spend every saturday night out and probably uncontactable.

i find that even though its stressful, i would be quite bored without this kind of busyness, if theres such a word. it just wouldnt be the same, like if i suddenly had -nothing- to do at all!!! i mean, i live on all this stress, i thrive on it. If everyone were to pull out of me to 'give me a break', that wouldnt help me at all. Ha. i would probably go find other stuff to do, and make myself busy at all...

Not that it makes me satisfied. I guess im someone who's never really satisfied at all. after reading that book 'When is Enough, Enough?' i should have learnt that in order to achieve some things, i have to learn to let go. Well, easier said than done. Like i can say that 'I shall not do any more accompaniment' but wells, i wanted to that end of last year, for a change (of not doing any at all for a music exam ie promos) then what turned out haha. Not that it would matter that much. i find i do better when stressed though. Ha.

so, do i have a life?

what else constitutes having a life?

i just realised i didnt touch on one segment in this post. that on relationships. hmm should i talk about that? do they contribute to life?
