Life isnt life if it just happens, sometimes you need to plan.

I'm on a path, I have a goal, I'm going somewhere (not sure where yet though). In my head all these years, life in general had been quite mapped out, school, school and more school. Things happen at the right times. But thanks to facebook I'm seeing that life doesn't happen in a sequence defined by strict rules. I see some of my friends from elementary holding one year old babies, married and living in pretty suburban homes. It shocks me because I think 'how does she already have a baby? a small person, healhty growing in her arms, smiles all around'. I just feel like its such a distant future for me. But maybe these things happen in the blink of an eye.

I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
I'm 22 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars
I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind
I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
When you only got 100 years to live
Half time goes by
Suddenly you're wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...
I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
