Do you feel as though life is passing you by?

Are you actively involved with the world outside on a daily basis or do you seemingly sit on the sidelines watching everyone else keep busy?
I more feel as if I am passing life by. Am I making sense? Probably not, ha. But, I mean I'm always so busy with so many things at once. I just like to have 'goals' in life, things I want to wake up for the next morning. Always making up new projects to work on. It does stresses me sometimes, but at the same time it's very fulfilling. And I always wander how can I do something I can be remembered for? Something for human kind. Even if it's just for Mom and Dad, my co-workers, my friends. Who do I chose to be in this life for as long I'm living it? What will I give the world... and that's the biggest project of all of them for as long as I'm alive...

It does make sense and that's an awesome way to be as far as I'm concerned! I admire the determination, motivation and what seems to be a love for life.

Thiz is how I feel
Rush, Time stands still.
I turn my back to the wind
To catch my breath,
Before I start off again
Driven on,
Without a moment to spend
To pass an evening
With a drink and a friend

I let my skin get too thin
I'd like to pause,
No matter what I pretend
Like some pilgrim
Who learns to transcend
Learns to live
As if each step was the end

Time stand still
I'm not looking back
But I want to look around me now
Time stands still
See more of the people
And the places that surround me now

Time stands still

Freeze this moment
A little bit longer
Make each sensation
A little bit stronger

Experience slips away
Experience slips away

Time stands still

I turn my face to the sun
Close my eyes,
Let my defenses down
All those wounds
That I can't get unwound

I let my past go too fast
No time to pause
If I could slow it all down
Like some captain,
Whose ship runs aground
I can wait until the tide comes around

Time stand still
I'm not looking back
But I want to look around me now
Time stands still
See more of the people
And the places that surround me now

Freeze this moment
A little bit longer
Make each sensation
A little bit stronger

Make each impression
A little bit stronger
Freeze this motion
A little bit longer

The innocence slips away
The innocence slips away

Time stands still
Time stands still

I'm not looking back
But I want to look around me now
See more of the people
And the places that surround me now

Time stands still

Summer's going fast
Nights growing colder
Children growing up
Old friends growing older

Freeze this moment
A little bit longer
Make each sensation
A little bit stronger

Experience slips away
Experience slips away
The innocence slips away

I don't feel that life is passing me by
I often step out of the rush

I've always been sort of a loner. I sit on the sidelines, but by choice, so I can't complain. haha. It's my way of not wanting to get hurt again. I love everyone. It just takes time to heal, but if my friends ask me to go out, I do. I don't believe in nursing my sorrows, nor looking back or staying in the past. I've just been terribly disappointed in some people's actions in my life.
Every day I live my life, taking care of all that needs to be done. I don't socialize much. I live a more quiet solitary life. Time does pass quickly, regardless. I've had some great times, memories that I hold onto. At my age, I simply don't expect anymore those wonderful life surprises. I had a good run.
Sometimes I feel that

On the sidelines.

Probably back in childhood. I have been an introvert as far as I can remember.

I wonder if it's a feeling a majority of introverts feel. I've certainly always felt like the outsider myself.
JoyfulSilence · 46-50, M
Probably a lot of introverts feel disconnected. Some want it, too. I want my space but get so lonely sometimes. So I need to connect at times. I sometimes think if I were more fully engaged I might be more fulfilled, happier, and likely feel less lonely. But I hide away in my apartment on the computer and do not go out and live my life, other than going to work and doing chores, or wandering aimlessly around the countryside, or in malls and museums, anything to kill time. Sigh.

i know losers like you have described that never do anything apart from smoke weed and play video games.... they are just wasting away their lives
SolitaryFriend · 41-45, M
Making assumptions much.
TheCoolestCat · 31-35, M
its not an assumption... i know these people pretty well.... they ar a waste of space
SolitaryFriend · 41-45, M
Sorry, I misunderstood a little, but not everyone who is lost to drugs and video games feels that way. Plus there are plenty of people who for different reasons also feel like this.
