When did you figure it all out?

At what point in your life did you finally "get it"? It's very hard to explain this question; when did you finally figure out your purpose or place in life, your self-worth, your "self"?

I'm still trying.

When you get this feeling, you're most likely entirely wrong.

I think it was when I became established in the local baby fighting ring.

This 75 character verse of pure genius and truth is my exact answer, as well.

If I understand it the way I think you intended, I know very few people who have figured "it" out.. I hear there's an old man at the top of a big mountain in "somewhere remote" that knows about these things though..

On a serious note: I knew I'd be an artist when I got my first box of crayons and a musician when I learned how to whistle..

Like most people, I first "got it" as a teenager. I also found "getting it" to be my "special purpose."

There is no higher purpose. Our lives are what we make of them.

The older you get, the more you realize that you don't know. I was a genius when I was 16. I knew everything at 19.

Life is what you make it. Getting it is truly understanding that.

I got "it" during my teen years. But somewhere along the way it appears as though I've lost "it".

If someone finds "it", could you please return "it"?

I don't "get it" anymore.








I've been married for almost ten years now...

Sorry to hear that.

I have been married for 19 years, and I 'got it' just last night.
