Birth of first child. It suddenly dawned on me that I was an adult with responsibilities.

Yeah but on a 6'5" frame you will get your speed back to at least sub 4.5.



That was an OT j/k

Congrats on the weight loss

Death of my daughter..............


I'm in this unfortunate club too.

Been the roughest year of my life.
Can't imagine I'll ever be the same again.

I almost died once about 20 years ago, I remember feeling my heartbeat get weak, stopping breathing and everything fading out......then waking up the next morning very confused. Talk about giving you a whole new perspective on life.

Nothing comes to mind. I guess that makes me lucky.

the other was a seminar that, in a single weekend, taught me that the only person or thing in this world that decides how I feel or what happens to me in this world is myself...made me realize that even when life treats you unfairly, you can consciously decide that you are not going to waste time on counterproductive things like feeling victymized,etc...truly changet my outlook on life for the better...

Nope.

Scruffy was born a jaded douchebag with a god complex hidden beneath a thin layer of humor.

The day I held my first born. At that moment I realized how my parents felt about me and told them that day,I finally knew how much they loved me. Lost my mom last August and it is tough to get past. I like getting together with family and we have fun doing so, but it is not the same.

orry so long but...

My fiance died suddenly in 2007 (8 years ago). I will never stop being in love with him, even though I have remarried and love my husband.

Losing a fiance, spouse or SO is like the earth losing the sun.

You are suddenly pitched into utter darkness hurtling thru space and no longer in orbit.

Your greatest source of warmth (love), light (happiness) is now gone forever.

You no longer have the one that your world revolved around, the one who made your world go round. You have no gravity to keep you in orbit.

So there you are in the utter darkness, cast out and free-falling. Mentally you are screaming but it doesn't matter any because in space no one can hear you scream anyway.

And yet life goes on and somehow you survive. You are thankful that your heart beating and your breathing are involuntary because if you had to consciously keep them going, you would have died.

I had to go for the "geographic cure" and picked up and moved about 150 miles away to a whole new place and built a whole new life with my husband who understands because he lost a spouse as well.

Again, sorry so long, but that is the best I can explain how it feels to lose your soul mate

-Younger brother diagnosed with autism when I was 8 or 9. Not really sure any "lessons" from that have sunk in until recently, probably too much too explain without being a TL;DR.

-Living with a roommate that went nuts and started doing crazy stuff on a daily basis (as in had the cops called to our apartment more times than I can remember in a span of several months). I initially had to do everything to have him removed because my two other roommates were too chickenshit. Thing that got me was at one point when I called his dad serious as all get out detailing all that was going on and that his son needed to go home immediately. First thing his dad asked about was when the lease went up and then he just tried to down-play everything, clearly not wanting anything to do with his son's problems. Made me a significantly more appreciative of my own parents in a way I wasn't before.

Not really anything outside of that, I've lived far too comfortable a life for what a lazy scumbag I am.
