You are going to think I am just saying this, because sometimes she reads my stuff on here, and I don't care that she does. That's besides the point.

This is the honest truth, with no bullshiting or kidding around like I always do.

Meeting my second wife. She changed me in more ways then one.

She take me for me, I don't have to hide in closet to wear what I want.
She loves my kids as if they were her own and same goes for me with her kids.
I never met another women in my entire life that does what does for me.

Because of her I change my whole view on living (Hope that don't come out wrong). She put the spark in my life.

We have been together since forever & then some and every day we still say "I LOVE YOU" & kiss each other.

Probably war in Ukraine. Until then war was something I perceived as something I saw in movies, read in books, learned about in history classes, heard from grandma's stories and it seemed like something far away that doesn't directly concern me...after this event I acknowledged the fact that war could be a real threat in my life and places I've always known as safe could simply become ruins. Just a few years back it would seem like something absurd but now it seems like a real possibility.

both my parents deaths...

Going to rehab.

The loss of loved ones. 😞

Probably the pandemic.

My first brain surgery.

The birth of my daughter. That was a wake up call.

Early in life: onset of clinical depression when I entered college

Later in life: brutal death of loved ones

I’d have to say the war in Europe just as music lover stated 😓
Scary times indeed …

When I saw certain people for who they really were.

Being SA’d too many times to even count.

My getting into shape
My dopamine fast that lasted a year.
The birth of my kid
Regaining my youth

war, friends dying, being betrayed, etc.

Watching all my nieces and nephews grow up. It seemed like yesterday that I was helping to raise them. Cute as buttons very quickly became teenage menaces

A lot of them. The biggest was becoming chronically ill and disabled at 22 though.

My divorce

spectacles..

Friends sudden death

Life..

Getting older I guess.

You live and you learn.

Some hard lessons though.

Two of my friends getting killed.

Awful events in my childhood

My paternal grandmother and uncle heinously betraying me over money, then lying to the entire family about it. I just recently found out my aunt's second husband used his law enforcement connections to get the police record over what happened, read how the cops cleared me, tried clearing my name with the family, and was forced out himself. My grandmother croaked last january at the age of 96, and didn't even bother trying to reach out to ask for forgiveness while dying of cancer.
