I have plenty but for now here is one.
This reflects my life: the knowledge that I can't always get what I want but if I try sometime I just might find I get what I need.
eta--Mick wearing lipstick! Now that's funny!
Soldier Boy by the Shirrelles.....I let a good one get away....regrets at times.
I could've done without the 'excitement'; I created enough on my own!That is what makes the life exciting, because if you can get everything what you want then life is not exciting.

There is one song that reflects the life I wish I had: "Imagine" by the Beatles.
Really related to that one too, tho i prefer Janis' Joplin's version.This reflects my life: the knowledge that I can't always get what I want but if I try sometime I just might find I get what I need.

For some, while i am blessed/cursed with an excellent memory i'm not much prone to 'nostalgia'...or regrets---i know that everything i've experienced in this life has led me to where and who i am now. While there are people i miss (Both parents and two of my sisters are deceased as well DH's #1 & #2, and a handful of friends from my youth that i know about--who knows how many i don't know about), i would not go back and change anything.Life is all about imagining the things we lost on the way

The only thing that gets me in a semi nostalgic mood is when a song triggers a memory (for good or ill) or online when questions like this are asked.
There’s a song by Kelly Clarkson called Break Away. It absolutely epitomized my life after I left my abusive ex of 30+ years. It made my heart soar then, and still does to this day!
Here is a portion of the lyrics that spoke to me on a visceral, profound level.
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes 'til I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway
Da-da-da, un, da-da
Da-da-da, un, da-da
Da-da-da, un, da-da-da-da
Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
I won't forget all the ones that I love
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway
That is what makes the life exciting, because if you can get everything what you want then life is not exciting.
Am moved to mention, as someone who has had a very full, exciting and interesting life, that i often think 'excitement' is overrated. But i'm someone who is rarely bored--generally only in unproductive staff meetings before i retired. i don't need 'excitement' to feel alive (some need it to feel anything). But to each their own.I could've done without the 'excitement'; I created enough on my own!
I've got hundreds, I would be here all day ...I think another thread started a few days ago on the same subject...
