What major life changing experience have you had?

Question

How did it improve your life or how did you recover?

Answer 1

Falling in love - true proper love...the feeling of wholeheartedly putting someone before yourself everytime - i felt totally alive.  Also the realistation that your parents make mistakes and don't have all the answers - that is quite a scary prospect when you have always relied upon them.

Answer 2

I lived in the same spot until I was 9, then moved 2 hours away for 11 months, then moved again. I think it made me stronger becuase it showed me that life won't always be easy or fair. I'm glad it happened at a younger age though.

Answer 3

My Brother bought a brand new Mercedes Benz 350 SL in black with AMG wheels last week and he's three years my junior at 31, i'm not jealous or anything, but i must try harder, i've already started to raise my game.

Answer 4

when i joined the military. everything was fine and then one day they told me that i was on my way to iraq. alot changed about me there. the fact i was there for 28 months straight and made it back in one piece. i havent been to a public place willingly for a long time. somethings that i was responsible for there gave me extreme paranoia here. i'm getting better, but untill then i tend to freak out a the smallest noice. its funny sometimes, but sometimes its embarrassing for me. when it comes to protecting my family i'm on it, but i wish i could just wake up back to the way i was before i left. i guess you can say i miss myself.

Answer 5

A brain tumour - made me start doing the work I love, made me realise how many friends I had and didn't realise

Answer 6

My girlfriend turned me into a cat.

Answer 7

when I was born

Answer 8

I kinda liked this guy during my high school days,I was so blinded by love.I could go to any extent to make him happy but he was very different.In the first place,I didn't even realise what was in him that made my world upside down,..at that time,happiness to me was to make him happy.I was ready to accept all his worries.I couldn't stay a day without talking to him,life was incomplete without him.

He was nice to me until one day I realised I was just another girl in his life,I was heart broken.He blew me off.I had never spent time with him,had seen him only thrice but I was in touch with him.He knew me very well however.

To me,he was my world but to him I was just another person in his world.He blew me off for another girl.He said he loved me,but dunno why,he made me get used to him and literally threw me out of his life.I moved on,...I wept bitterly for several nights after that,...although it happened three years ago,it is still fresh in my mind and when I chance upon his memories,it takes a litle longer for me to forget it and get on with my work.

What I learnt was,...it is better to get out from somebody's life  forever when you are just an option in their life.

Time healed me,...and am sure it is the only cure for emotional incidents like these.It might sound silly but only if you find yourself in that position will you know.He tore my confidence,made me feel worthless and what not,..I felt very low about myself,...but now,..I have gotten back to my old self,..by the grace of God,..I am doing great in my college.I can go on and on cause the story isn't over but ultimately when you cry,it is just you who listens to your woes.

Laugh,and the world laughs with you....cry,the world turns its back at you!!!

He is gone forever,he tried to call me but I made up my mind not to have anything to do with him again.Somebody who made me feel worthless needn't be in my good books is what I felt.Ask me,I don't hate him,..I still have a soft corner for him in my heart but....jus that he doesn't require me!!!

A long answer,isn't it??? But by asking such a question,you made me go through my past life for another time.
