Really, what are the defining events/changes/people/stuff that has happened etc in the last 3 years that have shaped who you are today?
In the last 3 years, I have turned into an entirely different person
I feel like my actual claim to sentient thought and intelligence came not at birth, but later in my life, about 2 or 3 years ago when I actually really began to THINK
Like yer, I always thought, but any true depth, compassion, conscience, has emerged mostly in my opinion over the last few years
Before then, I was a vastly different person
Some influential people in the last few years have been
My grandma
My friends who I made a few years ago when I came here to w.a
(they brought musik, and much more into my life, they got me interested in music and without them, my life would be gray and dull, without musik, there would be no me, I cannot imagine an existence without it)
My church (so much of my growth has been in a few years in that church)
And, most recently, from the most unexpected place, the internet, I have made many special friends on this site, and in other places, who are vitally and deeply important to me and have been a huge help in my life
Id mention events that have shaped my life, except, I don't believe that events shape lives.
Its how the ones whose lives are affected by those events react to the events, whether they learn or repeat the mistakes, reject it or accept the blessings, etc
Well, its your life, and you and your special friends shape it and affect the lives of others
I would love to hear in as much or little detail as you are willing to provide, the story of the last 3 years.
