and how did it change you...

Leaving my husband and having to do it all on my own.

It changed me, for the good, in that I realized that I can do it and it was better for the kids and me. It changed me for the worse, because, in between I lost who I was and hardended a bit and I don't like who I am now, even less, than I liked who I was before.

Next change is to find myself, or a certain part of myself, that I long to be again.

For better or for worse (wait, see how sweet that doubt is), quitting university and deciding to visit Thailand with a friend. That set in motion a chain of events that now sees me living here with a woman I love completely and utterly, but also I'm somewhat stifled creatively, career-wise, and haven't gained an education. Still, I wouldn't change anything. I can always try to put those things right, but finding love is not something so easily just attained with merely the desire and the effort.

and I can't put them back

ZombieKitten said:

Have you actually tried, or is that just a defeatist attitude talking?

Fauxie said:

you think I could do it?

I thought about leaving them on the hospital doorstep

ZombieKitten said:

It wouldn't hurt to try. Ugh, what am I saying? You missed your chance. It's time to face up to the responsibility.

They're bigger now, you need another solution.

picking up flute when i was ten...i don't play anymore, but for 5-6 years it was my passion; it completely changed the way i viewed myself. i miss it.

I think I first picked up the skin flute when I was around that age. For 5-6 years it was my passion.

Still playing!

getting out of a unhealthy 10 year relationship. for the better i've learned to be stronger and not take any shit off of anybody. i've learned to love myself. my boys are better for it as they don't have to be around all that negativity. the bad side is that it's (especially men) harder for me to trust. I don't forget the little negative things that people do. I have a tendency to do away with people if I feel like they're toxic or seem to block a path to my happiness. I have a low tolerence for redemption after the first fuckup.

When i decided to stop being a nice guy with women. When i stopped doing that i started getting sacktime.

For me it’s a particular period in my life I view as one experience that changed my life the most and of the many experiences two changed me the most, those two being one watching my mother have a nervous breakdown, coming to the realization that she will never again be the person she was before her mental break and being told by the one I wanted most that he’d made another choice, I learned to take life as it comes, it can be hard livin sometimes.

I have several key moments
1. Getting Saved by God my senior year of college
2. Almost getting married/ and it got messed up
3. Graduating College
4. Becoming a teacher
5.. Purchasing a home/paying off my first car
6. Becoming a head coach
