i dont know. id love to say that i did. but i think that there really is no defining "moment", that being alive in the string of moments we live in is the defining moment. we live it as we go along. or dont. virginia im gonna call you soon cus i really need to talk to someone whos grounded and down to earth. cus honestly, i think im gonna implode. im turning into the one person i would love to yet am afraid of being.
yeah, life is a string of memnts we blah blah blah...but read the question over again and see if you get it better. i didnt the point that will give your life purpose, i kind of meant a point in your life you are striving for that you think will be a point where your whole life will change...doesnt necesserally mean it will happen to everyone...just a what if theory.
okay, i think i get it? maybe? yeah. well i guess... its when i write that song, the one that will define my life, and just mean something. and when i do a show and i sing that song, maybe afterwards someone can come up to me and say, and really mean it "you know john, thank you. that song saved me. that song changed my life." and i know that sounds cheesy but thats what i want my music to do. to save. clarence clemons, the saxophonist for bruce springsteen, had someone come up to him on the street after a concert and the guy said "thank you man, that solo you played on 'jungleland' saved my life." thats the moment that i would live for, to realize that not only have i expressed how i feel to myself and to the world, but ive helped someone else with my music as well. i guess that moment would be it.
I don't know what the defining moment of my life would be. It probably wont happen for a long time. Like you said, we're in suspense for what's going to happen tomorrow. So I honestly don't know. I don't know if I even want to know...
Well, I guess it is one of those things that you never know what it will be, but my motivation for getting through life up to this point is the thought that if I do well in life, then my chances to get the hell out of here and be on my own will be guaranteed, and sooner. So I think that when the day comes when I am finally living on my own, whether in college or already out of college, I think I will come to some kind of realization about being on my own and having accomplished so much...that is what I think will be one of the defining points in my life cus it will definately cause me to have a new perspective.
there's so many ways to answer that question that im not really sure which way to go...idk lol.
yeah I think the whole being on ur own thing will define everyones life in one way or another... It makes sense though because once you're on your own I think that's t he only time you can truly truly realize who you are and where you're going because no one is influencing your decisions anymore--I'm not saying everyone is just following what others say...thats not true--but when you're still in school and at home you look to people for advice and thats an influence. you spend time with friends and most of the time you all influence each other in the way you act think etc. Everyone is changed one way or another by anyone they come into contact with. That's what I think at least. And now I dont remember where I was going with any of that. Hopefully you'll get it. lol
Yeah, it makes perfect sense. You're right, as long as people live with others and are with them everyday, you will depend on those people whether you mean to or not. it just happens. so yeah, the concept of independence will be really influencial in everyone's life...i can't wait. i hate depending on other people.
