As most of you may know i have been through some difficult times in my life, some were near world ending and seemed to cover me in sadness and depression.
But i endured all this and i drove forward with a little help from my friends. I traveled ireland and met some amazing people and i found a new calling in life. I met Jen and her son and fell in love again. We were engaged a few months ago.
Then we were in a car crash and they both died. I fell off the wagon and got pretty smashed, i spent a few days completely shitfaced.
When i found my legs again the pain was unbearable, In my short 26 years i have had 2 great loves and both were taken from me, and one son taken as well. It is hard to describe the feeling, but it was not nice.
Then last week i decided i was going to kill myself. I went to the place i spent my childhood and started out down the long road to the River.
and our dog kept following me and i couldnt get him to stop, you see he is very silly and would be hit by a car for sure, so i had to tie him up, but it felt like he was trying to stop me, or let me know i didnt have to be alone.
As i walked all i could think about was how alone i was now, how the gods have played some cruel trick on me or something.
When i got to the river i found the tree that i was going to do the deed on, when i felt like seeing the spot i told Jane i loved her for the first time again, so i did. and when i was standing there i wasnt filled with sadness or regret or anger, only love.
Then i went to where i asked Jen to marry me, and it was the same, i even smiled despite everything, how could i give up when they would want to to fight on. How could i face them in the next life if i gave in.
I was broken before and i am broken again, But i will get better.
I quit my job and sold my place, I am leaving for india tomorrow and im goin to see the world, i need to find something worth fighting for again.
I want to love again. I will love again.
One_day, thanks for your friendship, you might be the best person i know. Nobody, sorry i couldnt help you more. Dawg, stay cool. EndoftheLine, sorry i never made that video in response, but i tried to help as best i could in the comment section.
Lucy4, duke and anyone else i met on here, i think im a better person because of everything we talked about.
I am broken, but the pain is a reminder of just how strong my love was.
I want that again. So Im going to find it!
You can reach me by email if anyone wants to talk.
Peace

Amazing, so glad you found what you needed to pick youself up and start looking for what it is going to take get back into life, I pray that you find extreme joy and happiness and you are an inspiration. Not even to mention that someone who is only 26 years old and has the ability to quit your job and travel the world that is awesome in its self I believe you will succeed and you will find love again and you will never forget those you loved before but the pain will continue to ebb and the love is all that will remain.
You truly are unique.
