Tell me your secrets.

Talk about one thing in your life that has characterized who you are as a person. You may talk about more than one thing, but it has to be in a seperate post. If you post something then see that another member has shared something that he feels attached to and you realized it holds true for you as well, feel free to post again and again.

Heres the catch: no one liners. For the first time in the history of posting here (or at least i think it is) I am requiring that you have at least 5 or 6 sentences, otherwise you are not sharing, you're just posting for the hell of having a post. Beware I will dish out negative rep points.


Here's mine:

Last year I underwent the most serious change in my life since possibly puberty. I was a freshman at the George Washington University in Washington, Dc where I met some of the most amazing people in my life, including my best friend. While sometimes I long for the person I used to be pre-GWU, I realize every time that the person before that time was naive, a bit self centered, and mostly shy. Since GWU, I have been transformed into a social, outward, and very outgoing person who could probably start a good conversation with a mute. I owe to GWU some of my greatest memories and experiences. And for the first time in my life I felt responsible for every bit of action. Thus, I feel like I grew up the most at that place.


Your Turn.

Almost loosing my life after a botched operation, gave me new purpose in my life and made me realise that you only get one shot at it. The operation was the climax of a terrible few years, my father slowly dying from cancer was heartbreaking, and only a few months later I was fighting for my own life, although I miss my dad terribly and that I don't feel that 60 is old, almost joining him at 30 made me realise that I had to change several things in my life and start living again. We put too much emphasis on working and gaining material goods, and not enough time simply living life and enjoying the journey.

I guess it was a wake-up call, and my attitude has really changed because of it, I'm now more determined than ever to live my life to it's fullest.
Watch out Hollywood there's a Scottish director on his way!!!!

I started my first year at university (or college = America) this year and really grew up a lot. There was a freedom I had never experienced before; there was a labor club, a movies club, a gay club, a role-playing club, a soccer club and even a sri-lankan club. Everyone could find their place in the hysteria of that many students but at the same time you tended to get lost in the crowd. Consequently I tried very hard to make new friends (I knew a few ppl from school) and was quite successful because most 1st yrs are REALLY friendly. I became friends with a lot of people that drank heaps and did drugs all the time, which was similar to my school mates.

But that just wasn't me and I HAD to break away if i was to remain sane, it took a few months of trying to be myself more until I made some awesome friends. I found that while I could make a lot of people laugh and they seemed to like me, if I wasn't being myself then there was an emptiness there. Fortunately I worked this out and now am all the better person because of it. :)

All of the Mofo vets know about Amy, and everything that happened last year. I'll let you root around for the old posts if you're that curious. I guess for me, the people in my life have had a much bigger impact than the events. I guess if there was any other defining event, it was a day last spring, when I woke up, and realized that my life had led down a path of pain and misery that I was fed up with. So I stopped letting myself be unhappy.

So I stopped letting myself be unhappy.

:cool: similar to what happened to me, but that's a secret too personal to reveal at this stage....maybe in an hour or two :p
