Answer 2

Ok you were probably like10 years old, so you might not remember this movie......"St. Elmo's Fire." I remember seeing the movie and enjoying it, but not really getting what was the deeper message was........UNTIL I graduated college. Then....it all hit. It all made sense. You go from this person that is so totally involved in campus life. You not only pour yourself into your studies, but extracurriculars as well. Your sorority, student government, sports clubs, honor societies, committee after committee. There's not a night that you aren't buried in responsibility and yet you continue to volunteer to do, do, do!

And then graduation comes.........you leave school.......and you wake up one morning and you are simply........lost. since you were in pre-school you have gone to classes daily. And now.....here you are.......on your own and you have to survive it. You have to get off your tuckus and get a "real job." You can't party and play every night because you actually have to get up and work. People at work don't look at you like you are a success on campus; they see you as a "newbie" with zero experience. Your best friends have moved all over the country accepting jobs of their own. Your family has payed your way through college and now you have to pay your own way through life. I remember that time of lonliness. That time of self doubt. When you honestly had no faith that you would ever be able to do anything again or make any accomplishments. You go from success to nothingness in the handing of a diploma. Who knew?

It all seems so overwhelming that instead of picking yourself up and doing something, you withdraw and put it off just hoping some magical something will take over. It never does.

Well, without going into the gory details......I'm here years later with a wonderful job, fantastic kids and a very content life. You find ways to gain back control of your life. Even when it seems that you are all alone.........sometimes "magic" does happen. :)

Answer 3

It was the morning I backed my ex's car through the garage, with the door still down.
It was at that point that it finally hit me that things had to change. Even it it meant being alone, not knowing what was ahead for me.
Finding that I did have the courage and strength to move ahead with my life.
When my life goes totally out of control, that is when I find that I can take the best charge.

Answer 4

When I could not find my copy of the latest edition of TV Guide. My life was spiralling out of control and I had only a remote chance of keeping my sanity. All my thoughts were channeling toward the same dire conclusion. My warning antennae was on high alert, and my resolution was clear. Could I take it as well as dish it out? My muscles were as taut as steel cables, and I was programmed to respond. Actually, things started to fall apart after my sax change. I went from an alto to a tenor. I lost weight and became reed thin.
