I think I am a more mature person than I was a decade ago. I have learned to look past the b.s. in life and realize what is important. When I was 16, I thought that the world sucked and that it was not worth my time. Typical teenage crap, plus that was the year I almost drowned, so that kind of put life in perspective. When I was about 21, I met the guy I thought was the love of my life. Yea, so not true. We dated for about 3 years and he cheated on me, several times. You live, and learn. We are kind of friends now, but I will never fully trust him again. In July of that same year, I met Walter. He is now the reason that I am they way I am. He is my Prince Charming, and without him, I would be nothing. He has made me stronger, held my hand when I was sick, kissed my tears, and made me believe that I could be loved. Last year, I almost lost that, forever. He was diagnosed with cancer, and rather than be with me, he disappeared for about 3 months, no one mentioned him, I honestly gave up, I called him, no answer, no nothing. I began to accept that maybe he had died, and no one told me. Well about a week later, under missed calls, the name Wal appears. no message, but it was hope. Later that day, he left one, and to hear his voice was all I needed. No more awful feeling in my stomach. He surprised me the next day, by showing up at my job. And although I was angry, nothing felt better than to see and touch and feel him. We have basically been inseparable since, I love him with all my heart. About a yr, and a half ago I had an accident, it left me with some memory loss, a bruised spine and a different way of seeing things, this accident has changed the way I look at people. I am also not as happy as I once was, and I trust very fews people. I have 2 best friends who I trust my life and secrets, and my best girlfriend, and then my other friends, everyone else is pretty secondary to me. Then I have my job where, well yea, I will leave it as that. Shady ass people. Whatever, I am an adult, and clearly even though some of them are over 18, they don't act like it. I really dont care if people like me, live my life for a couple of days, and then talk to me. l am spoiled and honestly, I don't care, because when I was younger, I was sick, so I am enjoying things later in life. I take care of my own business, and in a decade, I think that is what matters most.
