Things that have completely changed your life :

I know a lot of things change your life, since your life is constantly changing.... but I mean what events do you recall from your past that just made you/your life completely different afterwards.

I have a few things I can think of.... some good experiences, mostly negative ones.

I'd like to hear yours.

 

- The first time I tried any given drug I've tried
- My parents divorce
- My fathers death
- Jimi Hendrix's music (at the very least changed the way I play and hear guitar)
- The birth of my niece
- The Apocalypse of the relationship between myself and a few very close, childhood friends
- A cat I had for 9 or 10 years changed me profoundly. Also the unknown death of this cat. He is immortalized on my wrist in the form of a tattoo

 

having my egg invaded by a sperm.

 

my bike trip across the country - just really opened my eyes to how amazing and beautiful the world is

my knee surgery - the first major happening that led me to not join the military. this is what got the ball rolling

 

Dying and being reborn as the messiah.

 

Doing morning glory seeds.

At first I did them with the intent of getting fucked up. But it lead me into the great world of mind expansion, and started me on my way through my psychedelic journey I called high school.

My gf almost dying while I was peaking on 35mg of 2-c-t-2. Made me realize how fragile life is, and how vulnerable I am to a bad situation getting worse while I am on psychs. Almost quit all psychedelics after that day.

Hearing the grateful dead for the first time.

hearing pink floyd on mushrooms for the first time.

My baby brother being diagnosed with cancer.

 

surviving my mother, living on my own, marijuana, my niece, having my heart broken after falling in love. twice.
My kids. all 5 of em.

 

My crucifixion, my resurrection, creating matter, cocaine.

 

Getting older

 

Time.

 

The main thing is falling in love.

 

the sex change.

 

My birth.

 

Getting Married. Wow, things are so much easier with a partner and unconditional love is an amazinh feeling. Andy could be gay or some crazy shit and I couldn;t see leaving him. Experiencing that kind of love is life changing. Plus Andy got me to quit smokign cigs and stop abusing xanax. That in it's self was life changing.

Sewing, who knew less than a year after starting I would have a home buisness doing it and have my designs in boutiques across the country? I thought I was goign to be stuck listening to people's problems for a living, the rest of my life.

Moving here, just became a different person, much more down to earth and low matienence. Stopped beign a prissy bitch.

I had a lot of bad and sick shit happen too, that has caused me to allow myself to wind up on psychotorphic medication. I am normally totally open about it, as I want other people it happend to to know they're not weird or disgusting. But, this morning, isn't one of those mornings. I feel like I could be in the mood to dwell and I can't let myself go there today.

 

learning to let go...

 

Love, yoga, and my first Smashing Pumpkins tape.

 

meeting dilli,quitting drinking..

 

music changed the way i viewed everything! it opened my eyes up to the 60s/early70s....it changed the way i felt about people... and it gave me a friend when no one wanted to listen.... in other words the reason why i am still living and making it through high school...

 

Hi,

the knowledge that opening to other people not only makes me vulnerable, but also enriches my life.

Regards
Gyro
