Actually, i’ve Thought more about it. While losing my eye was a huge trajectory change, there was a 6 month period in my life that changed me even more.
In that 6 months I had a son, my wife left me for someone that catfished her on the interwebs, I lost 90 lbs, then got thrown under the bus and lost my job as a plant operator, then my little brother died in a tragic accident.
That amalgam of experiences truly altered my life inorexably. It destroyed me, broke me utterly, and yet somehow I emerged on the other side a completely different man. A Phoenix from the ashes
I think I liked you better when you did your little poetry thing.

There have been several, some seemingly not so good.
But they've all led me to right now, and I can make bigger things happen now more than I ever imagined before.

I was trying to do the math, I don’t know what prices were like when he was younger or even how old he is but let’s say he smoked an ounce a month (does that sound right?)
Say, what, 300 an ounce?
x12=3600 a year. You’d need, what, 14 years of that to hit about 50k?
I guess it makes sense. shite, cigs are 6$ a pack so a pack a day smoker
6x7x52x15=32760...I guess it’s feasible.
People forget how the little things add up

Damn. What happened?
SIDS
Same here. He was 7 months old. His birthday is February 22. That and the anniversary of his death..those two days are the most painful in what is already an eternally painful experience. The hurt never goes away..you just try to live with it as best you can. So, so sorry that you know that pain, too. Nobody should know what it's like to lose a child.

The biggest for me was getting married 35 years ago. I made the decision to start being a responsible adult.

Probably my parents divorcing when I was 13. Whole life turned sideways. Mom has to work a lot so I was left by myself a lot. Didn’t give a frick about anything, started smoking weed, drinking, and hanging out with a bad crowd. Wasted a lot of good opportunities because I was too mad at the world and stoned too care....
Had I manned up and had my head on straight I could be a personal injury attorney by now...

I started out in the oil field right out of high school in 1999 and in 2002 I made a career
Change to a delivery driver making the same amount but I was home every night. I moved into a supervisor roll around 2011 and took a 20k pay cut. I did that for 3 years and at the end of three years I was still 10k less than when I was a driver. I was looking at leaving the company at the time but I took a chance at going to outside sales and have since more than tripled my salary every year for the last 5 years.

If you started out making 10k per year 5 years ago akd tripled it every year for 5 years you'd make roughly 2.4 million in year 5 so I'm going to say this is inaccurate considering the rest of your post

I believe he means he has made triple his old salary EACH of the last 5 years.

Other than being born, which was a pretty significant event, I'd have to say signing up for Tigerdroppings.
