Theres a fair chance I might be in pain, or on drugs, for the rest of my life. Why don't I feel gutted about that?
It got me thinking about stuff though. It highly probable that we do only get one chance at this life. And we only get the one body in which to carry oursleves around in. And the body is so fragile. If it gets to hot it burns and you have a scar there for the rest of your life. If you cut yourself, it will heal, but there is a mark on your body for ever.
Ever decision that we make, may be our only chance at that decision.It doesn't seem to make sense to my heart that we only get one chance. It doesn't seem fair either.
I'm always going to be me. I'll never have a chance to be a tall person. I won't ever know what its like to go to a concert and be able to see over the top of peoples heads. I'll never be a man and know how it feels to have sex with a beautiful woman. Or pee standing up. I'll never be french, or american. I'll never get to be an evil person, or a killer. I'll never get to be a martyr or someone who has casual sex.
It just seems wrong to me that I won't ever het to experiance these things however much I want to. Because these things aren't who I am. If I new for certain that I would get another chance at life, I'd relax a little and not worry about the consequences of my actions.

I don't believe you.
One day you shall be able to pee standing up.
There's this company working on a gadget, an attachment if you will, that allows women to pee standing up. Saves time on toilet queues, etc.

This post isn't actually suposed to be a winge. I'm not talking as If my life is already over I'm commenting on the fat that we are what we are and we won't be anything else.
Bar nasty horrible surgery, I'm never going to be a man, I'm never going to be tall. Bar a massive change in my morals i'm not likely to become an evil killing machine.
I think that you people see my name on a post and automatically think its a winge about my life.
And as for the part where I said I worry about the consequences of my actions, Maybe it would have been more accurate to say I take into account the consequences of my actions, but if I knew that I had another chance maybe I would go and kill someone or do horrible things to people, because it wouldn't matter nearly half as much as it does now, because they would have anothre chance too.
I don't like my options being closed.
And this post wasn't just about me, but about the human condition.

What I came across as being 18. Oh Joy. Not only only am I stupid fat unattractive and dull, I'm also immature. Fantastic.
you caught me in a bad mood.

You speak as if your life is almost over already! You are what, 18? I can honestly say that my life diddn't even begin until I was 17, and I only just decided that I wasn't a complete spanner a few years ago.
The time we have remaining in our lives is by far the most valuable and exciting time. we have come to terms with the world and it's workings, we understand how our actions can cause other reactions, and we are now solid, well adjusted human beings.
A shame then, that completion of adjustment includes realisation of mortality, with additional thoughts of lack of influence. This affects us in a million ways but, as far as I see it, boils down to one question:
"I know I'm not the sharpest, smartest person on this planet, and it does seem that my existance is purely coincidental and that nothing would be any different had I not been here.
But am I going to lose my life to this feeling, or will I do something about it?"

Probably because you have accepted this fact, therefore there is no point wasted time worrying about it.

I know that feeling. What you need is a helpful guy to lift you up :)
The rest of the statement is a bit sweeping:
> I'll never be a man and know how it feels to have sex with a beautiful woman. - sex change?
> Or pee standing up - ever tried it. I saw someone do it once in a film.
> I'll never be french, or american - they are just people with a different language / accent. They face the same challengers and decisions as all human beings.
> I'll never get to be an evil person, or a killer. I'll never get to be a martyr or someone who has casual sex.
You're far to young to say you will never be any of the above. Circumstances can change.
> If I new for certain that I would get another chance at life, I'd relax a little and not worry about the consequences of my actions.
Relax now, you cannot do anything about consequences to your actions, except live with them. Worrying overly much about things will make you old before your time. Worrying too much about conseqences could stop you experiencing life and experimenting with new things.
Just my thoughts though.
