Yes, is all started with a powerful hallucinogen.... I went on a trip, that I've never come back from. Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

My life changed for the better the moment I found out I was pregnant. I'd suffered years of torment by my mother and was finally able to move on and give my son the love my own mother never gave me. I am still overwhelmed. He is my angel and I love him more than anything in the world.
The past seems so far away now and I wouldn't change a thing. Only good can come from what happened to me as it's made me the stronger woman I am today.

I was always the one who new all the answers, nobody could tell me anything, i knew it all, just like some of the people who answer questions on this website. I,m ateacher they write ,or i,ve got degrees in this and that. they are very sad people that they have to try to impress people with there achievments. I was like that ( look how bad my spelling is if i wanted to try to impress you i would get the book out). Then i read a book, you know, one of those How to succeed books. There was a bit about an American president who said, and i quote, I am the most powerful man in the world and yet i am only right 50% of the time, After reading it put me in my position. Nobody is right all of the time and we are fools if we think we are. Now i sit back and read what these interlectuals and think that i was one of them once (not an interlectual) but a clever dick and i feel sorry for them

The big turning point for me came as a revelation, when I felt like I had been knocked over the head with a baseball bat! "What am I doing in a relationship with a man?! My life is a lie?!" Needless to say that was a huge turning point for me and my life has been very different since then. I marked the occassion with a tattoo on my back and have never looked back since...

Yes, many times, many changes, the last one was in October when I gave up smoking and cannibus after 35 years of smoking, that sure as hell was a BIG turning point. But then again I have had many other, 1 was in 1990 when on the spur of the moment I sold everything I owned and emmigrated from S.A. to here.
And many other as well.

I realised that I couldn't be with someone that I didn't trust, no matter how much I loved him. It changed my life, and made me realise that I could manage on my own. A true turning point is when you feel that you have the power to change anything. It is within yourself.
The birth of my child was also a turning point, because you
are no longer the most important person in your own life for the first time.
Hope you find your turning point if you are looking for it!

The Grateful Dead 1985. I was a metal-head, my father had passed away in 83, and I had alot of hate and rage in me looked for fights and anything that would let me vent. Was doing drugs and wasn't enjoying them was just making myself numb. We spent that entire summer going to concerts every weekend and selling or buying drugs. Then one weekend we showed up at the venue and it was the Dead. It took 4 hours for it to beat down my attitude. Then I was taken buy the niceness, the confidence in their comfortingly, the way no one wanted anything bad to happen to anyone else,and how they just wanted everyone to feel happy. Three days later I left that concert a completely different person than I was. They (the deadheads) showed me tired angry eyes that is was all going to be OK. No rage. Thank you for asking and letting me reflect on something I had not thought about in quite sometime.

some one I was in love with said from day one she would only ever love once and then destroy him.
she fell in love with me and I couldn't cope with her so I gave her her ambition and let her attempt to destroy me with my own propaganda. it changed everything, the whole world hates my guts for fighting my aggressor like Gandhi, everything wrong she ever threw at me I refused to dispute and let her broadcast the whole lot on the Internet. a verbal hate crime for the sake of love. I wouldn't call it a personal awakening but I woke up EVERYONE as I always told myself I would change the world for the one I fell in love with, I didn't know I had it in me until I found her and she is worth burning alive for.
everything has changed/remains the same.
I can't really see her coming back or The Dahlia llama turning up ever to marry us but the dream was nice.
I've still got the local curry house though.

My dog died three weeks ago, she was ten and the light of my life. I got her when I was fifteen and at twenty six she was the last piece of my childhood that I had left. It really has effected my out look on my life. Since then I have signed up for nursing school and changed my hours of work from full-time to part-time. Losing her has made me realize that I needed to do something with my life for my and my husband's future. Thanks Tealah for bring some happiness into my life when I needed it.

When I accepted an offer to teach in South Korea 3 and a half years ago. Although it was the greatest experience of my life, my father died while I was here.
