Oh, forgot another one of my favorites:
"Life isn't leaving me behind... it's running me over!"

Life is swimming in a vast endless ocean.

If you don't learn to swim, then you drown. If you run out of endurance, then you drown. But then there's those amazing sunny days when you're floating on your back in a blue sky blue ocean heaven. And then there's those storms where if you get pulled under water, you drown.

Life's exhausting. :lol:

Mine is:
HOPE FOR THE BEST PREPARE FOR THE WORST!! !! !! !!

I cam up with that when I turned 30 last year. That is because in my 20's I had numerous medical health problems, including 2 major surgeries, bouts with nervous breakdowns, and a terrible life. When I turned 30, when I decided that I want to take back my life and go back to school, leave the group home, and live a regular life that everyone else has, I came up with that. The reason also because when I was 19-20, I was trying to get a successful life, but things happened. throughout my 20's, the second I wanted to leave the group home and live a normal life, I developed medical health problems that got in the way. So, at 30, i am going back to school, but still having health problems, so I am hoping for the best success and preparing for the worst if my medical health problems gets worse. But this time i am prepared and will not let my health or anything else get in the way of my success. i even know now to not involve my family or group home in my problems, that way they do not get health problems confused with being stupid.

Life is like a box of chocolates - expensive, fattening, and bad for your teeth. And sometimes, no matter what you do, you're going to bite into one of those with a nasty pink cream center.

In college, when I was introduced to role-playing games, I sometimes thought of life as the ultimate RPG - your first goal is to find out what class you're playing; the next goal is to learn the rules. The first goal is made all the harder by the fact that most of us multiclass...

life is a crate full of timber rattlesnakes Crotalis Horridus, its unpredictable, scary, amazingly cool, and always results in death

A sexually transmitted disease, that's always fatal, and very difficult to treat because everyone has different symptoms.

That's inherently true, isn't it? If you take the word "file" and jumble the letters enough, you eventually come to "life"... clever.

I kinda see life as a video game. Each person being the central character of a certain type of game. The type of game and the framework from which an individual is allowed to make decisions is what ultimately decides what type of life you have.

I have a game, where I have to face demons (personifying my issues) and overcome obstacles in order to progress and ultimately find self fulfillment. I think most peoples 'game' would follow a similar pattern. Ultimately our self fulfillment is what we as humans are always searching for.


ditto. you beat me too it.

Life is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come.
