Hard to believe it has been well around 7 years since I was last on this website. I was kind of shocked to find my profile still here, but thinking about the last time I logged really triggered some things within me.....The fact 7 years has passed and when I last did anything on this forum site I had virtually nothing. Dead end job, lived at my father's house (without him there), finished raising my younger sister and relied on friends from High School who were always there for me no matter what. How I thought those days would go on forever.....
Now, I am 28, been a homeowner for about 4 years, have a solid career in my clutches, have written and published my first book. Am a father to a beautiful 4 month old little girl. Am married to a good woman. All these things took time and hard work to achieve but it did come at an additional sacrifice. Friends no longer stand beside me (most of them don't anyway), my father has been deceased for over 3 years, and my sister resents me and my almost 8 year old son I have been allowed to see him twice now. It's interesting how things change. I remember being a mere 16 year old on this site just messing around and now I view myself as a mundane adult doing the norm, alone mostly for that matter. I remember my teenage passion though, maybe I can bring that potential forth again?
