There is a song from the movie Rent called seasons of love where they ask how do you measure a year, i've been contemplating this question for probably an hour or so now and i dont have an anwer, do you measure a year by what you do, how you act, who you are, or is it all just random curses or gifts from god?

How do you define a year other then by saying its 365 days except on leap year, Trying to define a year is like trying to define who you are, i'm 5'5 to 5'6 and have brown eyes and hair thats a definition but thats not me who i am inside, so how do you measure a year? How do you measure a life?

How do you measure who you are, is it by deeds or actions, is it by what you do when your with people or when no one is looking? Is it your character, your morals, your past or your present? How do you define a life?

Some people are defined as jocks or preps or goths or other things like that, those arent definitions they are lables, i'm not a soup can to be labled. So how do i know who i am? Am i even definable?

How do you measure a year
