What's your life-story?

Question

Everyone has a story (past a certain age of course) whether your religious/spiritual journey, conquering a sickness (in whichever sense of the word "conquering" you take), growing up, coming out of the closet (not just on sexuality - anything), your love story, your road career success or fulfilling some time of dream, or whatever. I just want to know your life story - if you're comfortable sharing of course.

I don't know how I'm going to choose a best answer. But whatever, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Answer 1

I believe my life began at 15.  Everything before that wasn't important.  I had a wonderful surprise birthday party, chopped off all my long hair (it was to my knees) and in October of that year I fell in love for the first time.   He was 21 (and yes I realize I was jailbait back then, but when you're 15 you don't understand reason or the law!) I turned 18 in June, got married to that guy in July and started community college in August.  I graduated college 3 months pregnant.  

I turned 21 and decided I wanted to go to the bar and get a drink for my birthday.  My husband refused to take me and said no wife of his was going to a bar.  We had a big fight and he stormed out and went to a bar.  I left and went to a bar too, by myself.  I ordered a drink, flashed my ID, drank it proudly and went home.  That incident was the beginning of the end.  I divorced my husband 2 years later when I was 23 and it broke my heart.  It took me 10 years to get over him and the divorce and finally move on with my life.  

I had a second child at 24 from a man who was very opposite in character from me and we didn't last long together. (I was still too in love with my ex and he just didn't measure up was what it boiled down to).  

I moved to Misery, I mean Missouri, and lived on welfare and went to college for a year.  My parents saw that I was really trying to better myself and they moved me to Hawaii with them (my dad got a job there) and took care of me and the kids while I studied full time.  I graduated *** laude with a BA in English as a 2nd Language and got a job over the phone in Denver, CO as a company translator.  I moved there and held various jobs, had various romantic interludes and then met a male coworker who "saved me" from a robber at work.  We fell madly in love and had an affair (he was attached, not married) and to this day we remain friends.  

Then months later I met a guy at a dance one night and we began dating.  2 months later he asked me to marry him and gave me 2 weeks to put together a wedding.  He refused to have us live together, he said he wanted "the commitment."  I was so taken with that way of thinking that I agreed to marry him. I cooked the food for the reception the night before the wedding with my hair in curlers.  The day of the wedding we were 45 minutes late but the judge waited and we had a wonderful, small wedding and a big noisy backyard reception.  We just celebrated our 6 year anniversary last week!!
