I Want to Meet Everyone That Has the Same Birthday As Me

Just realized my 40th birthday is in a month. Can't believe I'm going to be 40 on July 5th. The way my life been going I'm shocked I'm going to make it to 40.

Back in 1997, try to take my life. Being 18 & overweight, was picked on so damn bad. Being only 5'6 & weighting over 260lbs,wearing cook bottle glasses. Was picked on left and right.

After overcoming that situation, decided to start losing weight. By the time 1999 came around I lost 100lbs. I've never realized that I could lose that much weight.

From 2000-2005, was the best yrs of my life. Had fun growing up. Moved away with an gf(ex now) to a place where I only knew her. Yes I shouldn't date her but I was young & dumb.

2005-presnt my life has changed. End up getting RA(rheumatoid arthritis) & been having trouble with my health. What sucks is I lost all the weight to get healthy and I get a crippling disease. Wouldn't wish this on anyone.

Anyone who's reading this younger than me, please live your life daily. Last 13yrs it's been a rollercoaster of many downs instead of up. Please realize that things can change in a heartbeat!

yep, my 20s have already passed me by. I'm in the second half of them and that's when it hit me. Haven't had fun yet. And your 20s are supposedly the best years. I feel like I had a sucky start to life with overbearing parents BUT, that is all behind me. Done with the stress of college now so I can finally live somewhat of a life.

@iamnikki well I wish I've done more before I got sick. Was always trying to be that good person. You don't realize that in a blink of an eye everything can change! Go have fun my friend! You're still young but also have health insurance bc you never know when something will happen

iamnikki · 31-35, F

@McShay1978 Right, I was too busy trying to be good too. Didn't do 'typical teen stuff" till I was an adult. Stupid me

@strangerthanfiction I can believe that. No college, more money, out of parents house...

@iamnikki I've moved away with that ex. Yes it was hard but you learn alot about yourself. First yr it was hard but once I met people from work, was treated like family

iamnikki · 31-35, F

@strangerthanfiction Yea, I can understand that. I'm Not thrilled about being a real adult

iamnikki · 31-35, F

@McShay1978 See, I'd love to be treated like family at work for once. I'm always treated like a step child.

McShay1978 · 41-45, M

@iamnikki it will happen in time

iamnikki · 31-35, F

@McShay1978 hope so

McShay1978 · 41-45, M

@iamnikki realize if you ain't happy at this place, time to go somewhere else bc you don't want to get burned out

iamnikki · 31-35, F

@McShay1978 Yea, I need to do something for myself.

McShay1978 · 41-45, M

@iamnikki don't be upset when you go to work everyday. It will cause more issues for your health. Money means alot but if your health sucks, you'll lose it all

iamnikki · 31-35, F

@McShay1978 yea it does. I have my own problems as it is.

McShay1978 · 41-45, M

@iamnikki I'm sorry my friend. Nothing but the best for you

iamnikki · 31-35, F

@McShay1978 thanks.
