It's Turning Points Monday, MKF 12/09/02

wow! a great 'cause and effect' story MS. I love these 'connection' type tales.

Sceptics go on about coincidence, happenstance etc and decry films/plays/books that use the off chance meeting as a tool to get out of unbelievable situations...... but your story shows just how these weird coincidences can happen.

This is a thread all to itself I think. Mods?

[/quote:070dd974ad] How funny. I had a great weekend too. Hmm.

[tommo]

Yeah well, Autumn, I think I'd be enjoying myself if I was sneakily getting a handful of tit as well, love.

[AutumnT]

HEY! That was an accident. Both times. Oh, and love the sig.

[WebWarlock]

Sorry to interupt the Ruth/Autumn love fest here.

But I just hit a turning point of sorts about a few minutes ago.

I just wrote my last check for my student loans!

Woo and Hoo! So, now when does this "higher education" crap pay off?

Well the first things that comes to mind is when the summer before freshman year at high school my Mom went into the hospital with a brain tumor. She had it removed a few months later. And I am now happy to say that she is CANCER FREE. It's something that just completely changed everything in my life. Family life, how I look at freinds and the people I love, it just changed everything I am so thankful for a second chance with her.

Another thing that effected my life was moving after my freshman year. I moved from a house on a highwy to a small town with cows and cornfields. But one thing that came out of it (besides complete culture shock) were friends. I really hadn't had any friends since 5th grade, but here I have so many friends it's amazing. I love it here now and I was able to meet some absolutly amazing people who have completely changed my life and sel confidence.

I hope nobody minds me dragging this thread back to the first page especially when its someone who normally only posts in Pens! - but I have something that I feel like sharing, and quite honestly, I dont have anyone to share it with but you guys, who have shown me that theres love and to spare on this board.

There have been a few significant turning points in my life, but the ones that matter the most have all revolved around one person. I suspect that my life has been a bit odder than most straight males, in many ways, but especially in that, my whole life, Ive only ever loved and had a relationship with one person.

Her name is Jean. I fell in love with her when I was 20, and we were together for nearly 8 years until circumstances pushed us apart. Since that time she has remained my best friend in the world, and Ive never stopped loving her. And its because Ive never stopped loving her, that it never crossed my mind in all the years since we parted that there could be anyone else out there for me. So, for the past 21 years (yep, I said 21 years), Ive remained alone, some part of me always hoping that there could, some day, be a future for us, together.

And five days ago, that turning point came, and I couldnt be a happier kitten!

Shes the nicest, kindest, gentlest, most generous, most loving and lovable human being Ive ever known. (Shell never read this, but Ive said it to her many times anyway.) I would have been content just to be her friend and be near her for the rest of my life, but to know that shes finally free to return my love once more, and want me again, well its just the greatest feeling in the world. If I were a woman, Id say that Im Tara to her Willow, but she combines all the best qualities of both. If she has one flaw, its that fantasy (like BtVS used to be) has never appealed to her, and she cant invest herself in characters like W/T.but we can work on that!

I would have waited for her forever, just hoping. But at last the long wait is over, and Im back with the woman who is my everything. May every kitten have as much luck as Ive just been granted.but I hope you dont have to wait so long!

Sorry. Im such a sap, but I just had to share!

[Still Waters Run Deep]

YES!

*gives high five to Mike*,

from one of the other vetran kittens on the site to another

Know where you're coming from mate.

[mscheckmate]

Mike, that's wonderful news. Congratulations!

I hope that you and Jean have many, many happy years together.

[tommo]

Oh congrats Mike! 'Tis the season to be jolly...or y'know, lustful. Hee. That's a wonderful heartwarming story. New love. Sigh. Cute.

[Dumbsaint]

Hee. Congrats, Mike. That's lovely news.

[xita]

Mike congratulations, I could tell you were the kind of guy who believed in true love and that had to be for a reason. Be happy

[Rosenberg]

Awww, Mike, thats not sappy at all. Thats a very sweet, romantic story. I thought I was bad going it alone for 15 years after my last relationship, but 21 years? Thats real loyalty, and Im glad to see that devotion rewarded. She's a very lucky woman. Congratulations!

Turning points in my life....

It was a good few years ago now, when I woke up one morning
and embarked on a, 'previously in Tracy's world'
journey through my life. Took a long look into that dark place that we
like to run from if at all possible, and pretty much deceided that my head
was very firmly up my ass. Some folks would reach for the bottle, or tissues
at this time.....me, I filed for divorce.

And so began my new life free from that pesky marrage thing, and living happily with
that new found refreshing honesty. Alone, but not lonely. Came out to my parents and friends,
with mixed results, (ex hubby is still not coping - poor pet...hehehe) but waddled
through head held high. I say waddled because, it kinda hard to do anything else
when you're in the late stages of pregnacy. So there I was, a pregnant Lesbian Divorcee.
Heh.

Then came my Single Mother Lesbian Divorcee stage.......garranteed much fun for all!!
And in reality - it was. The best time.

I have since met a wonderful woman and find myself, in the most loving and fullfiling
parntership I have ever experienced. My daughter who is now three is the other love of my life.
We three live together and share some of lifes most precious moments. I simply adore them both.

Yep, my cup runneth over.

And yet again I stumble upon things late, but hey...better late than never, right?

My biggest turning point, I think was my breakup with the love of my life, Jen. We had been together two years, a long distance relationship that finally ended up with me moving to Chicago. Things didn't work out for me living in the city (read: no money) So I had to come home and the stresses between Jen and I started mounting. I had always...at least since I was raped at 11..had a problem with cutting, and as the stress grew so did my episodes. Finally, the turning point came. She came to Michigan with me for my graduation party and we ended up having a huge fight about her moving back to MI with me..after that fight and the events that occured she ended up leaving me. And for that, I will always thank her. If she hadn't left, I never would have had the chance to see that my ways were hurting others, especially the one person I love most. It's been a little over a year since then, and I've grown considerably. I still have bad points..but they are fewer adn further in between. And best of all, since I had the chance to sit back and take a long hard look at my life..and managed to change the bad things...she's slowly regaining her trust in me. I've learned to have patience with things that are worthy, and for her...I will wait as long as she needs. But things are definitely looking up.
