what event changed your life?

[Addict]

Shit, not much of it but man did the few bits that hit me, hit me hard.

[Zaktar]

When my best friend was revealed to be a sadistic serial rapist and possible future serial killer (if he hadn't been caught). You never really know anyone, but warning signs are generally there and ignoring them because someone is a "friend" is not a good practice.

I was stuck in a state for five years with no way to better myself. After getting back home finally, I started work anywhere I could. Then I came to a factory job. I found the work hard and very physically demanding. something that I have never been good with. I also learned that I had no idea or clue when I might get to leave for the night. I hated it. By the fifth day, I was so run down that I was depressed and very angry. Then, on a bathroom break, I had a sudden realization of what my goal was. Since then, I have found work I highly enjoy, started working towards schooling to get a degree, and I am over all happier. My life has changed so drastically that I can hardly believe that the past five years was nothing more then a hellish nightmare.

Kids and wife

My birthday, I felt so alive

[Alski]

When I did nine months in the big house, came in a skinny little white squirt, came out a real (hu)man.

It's not good to lie to yourself, your a Murloc. Never forget that.

Too many to pick any single one in particular.

They put me in a van, drove off like 8 hours.... rushed me outside to stand on:



... 3 months later I had a distinctly reduced level of care in things that use to annoy me.

Wait, what exactly is this?

Probably having a kid, really kicked my ass into gear about getting my life together.

Wait, what exactly is this?

The start of a 3 month paid vacation and character building experiment. Careful of the sand fleas or hills.. depending on where your vacation takes place.

3 meals a day, lovely lodging, personal mentors/trainers to ensure your time is well managed.



gotta practice that hook for if I stick around to replace some recruiter.

Joining the military. Biggest mistake of my life. Joined the Marine Corps after highschool. Thought maybe I could gain something from it. My active duty contract ended with a whole mess of problems, severe depression, shame and self-loathing because of some big mistakes that I made. I despise being labeled a veteran because I feel like I did nothing to earn that title. I left in 2009, still stuck in a hole. But hey, at least I got that GI bill...

Might sound hard to believe but the night both of my parents were murdered. We were off to see a Broadway show downtown, after the show was over a man approached us demanding money at gunpoint. My Father tried to protect both my Mother and I but he was shot in the process, my Mother soon followed. I've never been the same, I try to host as many charity events and donate as much of my money as possible towards good causes to try to heal the wound, however it leaves me unsatisfied....

[derpkitteh]

a highschool relationship, honestly. i mean, it started in 8th grade and ended in february of my 9th grade year. so, together for slightly over 2 years. before the relationship, i was pretty shit in school. after the relationship started, i started to be better, because i didn't want to get stuck behind without her. but after it ended, i just trashed it all, eventually dropped out in my second year of 9th grade.

that was the pivotal moment that started the path to every other bad thing i've caused for myself.
