life on broadway

I feel like age is kind of pointless.

Age is just the number of times you've been around the sun. It's basically the x amount of time you've had to have y amount of experiences. I believe experience is what ultimately makes you, you. But the amount of time you get on this rock has nothing to do with the quality of experience you have! x≠y !! What you get out of life is what you put into it. Your life is your life. Nobody else can live it for you. Some people are the doers who go out and make things happen. Some people are watchers who enjoy seeing other people enjoy life. Some people are dreamers who are satisfied with living life in a make-believe fantasy. When I was a kid, I was a dreamer. I dreamed about all the things I would do when I "grew up". I wanted to be an astronaut. I wanted to be an inventor. I wanted to be an author. I'm obviously not any of those things yet. But it's never too late to make those things happen! Well... i'm pretty sure they don't let infirm elderlies into space... but hopefully I don't wait that long to get my life moving. Then when I was in junior high I was a watcher. I didn't really have friends, but I didn't care, because I loved watching people have friends. It's kind of sad now that I think about it... But I loved it at the time! Even when I did have friends, I was more of a watcher than a participant. When I did participate, it was because someone forced me to. Then I got to the point where I realized I had 15 years of "experience" that wasn't worth experiencing. I switched to being a doer. Which is an awfully scary transition. It was like being in the crowd watching a play over and over again, and then deciding to hop on stage with the cast. But when I got up there I realized that nobody had any clue what they were doing either! They were just good actors. It was all improv. What i'm saying is that some people live their lives as if their doing a rehearsal, but this is it! This is the show! Are you participating? Are you watching? Or are you at home imagining what the play is like? There is a role for everybody. A unique role. It doesn't matter how old you are, you can always switch roles!

So. Who are you gonna be?
