Where or who were you ten years ago? Tell us your story. (share a picture for extra points)

Ten years ago I was (almost) 16, in high school. I had short hair and used to love the weirdest (ugliest) jewellery and clothes. Used to spend the whole day studying and the whole night chatting with friends and [i]crushes[/i]. My main crush was that 22 y/o Mick Jagger look-a-like who I had the chance to date later only to find out that he would stalk me for the next 6 years. I was sad and had to live with severe anxiety and insomnia (not much has changed). I was mad at my boobs for being too small and my butt for being too big.
And of course none of the dreams I had back then has come true.


Your turn.

Ten years ago (2007) I was 52 years old, an attorney and an Assistant Vice President of a mortgage bank. I looked similar to what I look like now, except with less grey hair. I was about to have received an award for having served for over 20 years at the bank when it suddenly was dissolved and the owners would file for bankruptcy by the end of the year.
The timing was actually not bad, as I was able to do certain things for my family that I wouldn’t have been able to do had I been working at the bank......but I was out of work for a number of months in between temporary jobs, not getting another full-time job until 2009.

@DragonFruit Your story stressed me out! 😐 But I like that you were able to do things for your family.

@SW-User Why did it stress you out? I was OK....just not at a high-paying bank job any more.

@DragonFruit Maybe it's the bank job itself that stresses me out.🤔
