First off let me say hello to you all. I recently had a profound life changing experience, that really brought me back to where I am 'comfortable'. I know this all may sound silly, but let me give you a little background. In my early 20's I was quite the partyer, I grew up in a pretty strict religious home but as soon as I moved out I went out and wanted to experience the world, after smoking weed for the first few times and started running with the open minded crowd, and really started to discover a lot of things about myself and had quite the love for music and totally got into the psychadelic rock era. Those times were so wild, and free, I remember going to parties in the middle of the woods that lasted for 5-6 nights straight. Other than the fact that I never held a steady job back then, life was full of delight, and discovery. After college, hoever of course as many of us do, life definitely became more serious and I was focused on my carrer, now for the last 4 years of so I have been running a business. In the mean time, I had so forgotten about who I used to be, my life has been almost totally based on money, trying to fit into a certain image, etc. I still enjoyed the night out occasionally, but something had definitely changed. When it comes right down to it, even having everything else going for me in my life, I was feeling empty, I keep dating the wrong people, one after another, my life had become all about indulgance. A few weeks ago I met this woman, who has a very similar background to mine, she was very open minded and carefree(not to mention that she is a twin to 'Donna' from that 70's show), immediately we clicked and wound up spending nearly every waking moment together for what seems like a brief yet magical period in time. Spending time with her brought all of those feelings from so long ago back to me, I found myself digging out my pink floyd albums again and life was such a rush. Anyways, sadly her and I have since parted ways since we are both at different places in our life, but i am certainly grateful to have met someone that opened up that part of me that had been asleep for so long. I actually picked up my guitar the other day for the first time in probably 4 years. Its amazing how life can take on a whole new meaning just by having one person come into it and it totally changes your perspective, and it made me realize that people like her are the type that I want around me. Anyways, I figured I would share my story, and say hello you all.
congratulations! i'm am very happy for you! and the stuff you wrote about that woman is very sweet! It makes me want to jump for joy actually.. =]
awe. i had an experience like that also, i used to be just like you and i changed for a while, not that very long at all though, and then i met this boy (but i still havent told him that i really really really like him, damn this shyness) and ive changed back to my old ways and couldnt be happier good for you!!
Well, as much as I would like to, we parted ways, she is looking for different things in life than I am. Whatever happened, I do not know for sure, but we had such a strong/powerful connection that it was completely mind blowing, but it faded just as quickly as it came. Those breif, yet magical moments in time are what make life worth while, and as much as I wish they would last, they never seem to. And belive me, I have dated a lot of people and this is not something that happens more than maybe once in the last 10 years. Remember, you cant press the rewind button. Maybe I will cross paths with her again, I did leave her a note of my appreciation for bringing that part out of me. I am a musician, poet, and artist at heart, and I had forgotten about that. I am a big believer in fate. If something is meant to be, it will happen. I was meant to meet her, now whether I was meant to be with her is still unknown, there is always a chance that she may come back. However, I am not going to wait around, if the timings right, and its meant to be, then it will be.
LOL!!! Amazing, I never completely lost touch with this woman and today all of the sudden she is back in my life. I was sitting here in my house, had a good weekend but was kind of feeling down, totally out of the blue she called me and asked me if she wanted to hang out, and we were immediately back to square one. I could jump for joy!
wow awesome congrats i recently had someone track me down.. someone who had a crush on me when i was 15....lol 25 years ago... talk about flattering now im thinkin maybe i should get together with her & see what happens..lol hmmmm yea i might
pffst, figured out she is a complete nut job now, lol, I think i gave her wayy too much credit. So all week she is calling me, wanted to make plans for tonight, it went from 'lets hang out again' to 'never talk to me again' all over a stupid text message that was completely innocent, I just offered to buy her a margarita!!
