The idea of misspent experience is connected with our level of awareness."<BR/><BR/>I like that, Greg. And it applies to all experiences, good and bad.Boricua in Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10408201125366918838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37084648.post-24968819416464805292007-11-27T13:29:00.000-06:002007-11-27T13:29:00.000-06:00I don't think you can "mis-spend" your youth.

I agree with what my parents always said, that it gets better when you actually get to control & live your life.Brian o vretanoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982178574498189251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37084648.post-4568330058075439782007-11-27T12:13:00.000-06:002007-11-27T12:13:00.000-06:00Kids can't misspend their youth, only their parent...Kids can't misspend their youth, only their parents can misspend their kid's youth. The mistakes of kids are really their parents' mistakes. Kids have a great excuse, they're kids, and they don't know any better. <BR/><BR/>The valid question is if you are misspending your present time. Enter midlife crisis. <BR/><BR/>People that don't have the guidance to figure out who they are when they were young because of a lack of adult guidance are left to figure it out on their own while an adult. Some try to stay a kid by not accepting responsibility for their life, but most eventually figure out who they are but this often occurs in midlife, or even later when they finally sober up.<BR/><BR/>The point of life comes down to experience. The idea of misspent experience is connected with our level of awareness. A full experience is when one is involved and aware of what is happening, while a misspent one is when it happens with little enjoyment.<BR/><BR/>These crises of life occur in people when they try to figure out why they are so disconnected from life. They want experience that they can connect with and fully enjoy. Some want experiences that they cannot obtain within the current structure of their life, so they try to change.No Replyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13897528591850712444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37084648.post-18613125557827896052007-11-27T10:20:00.000-06:002007-11-27T10:20:00.000-06:00I agree with you but like someone else just said I...I agree with you but like someone else just said I mis-spent my youth by being too serious in my teen years and again mis-spent is probably not the right way to describe it.
