- Chest cut open for a 2nd time for open heart surgery. Currently on blood thinners because of the mechanical valve they placed in me. A damn growth on one heart valve came back around a half decade after the first time I had my chest cut open and pre-teen me thought the valve was the coolest thing for a short while.
Though, I’m pretty sure this is also the reason my memory sometimes feels off due to how I was under bypass for longer than the surgeons expected during surgery 2.
Dating a depressed/suicidal girl for almost 4 years through middle school. To this day she’s still the funniest and smartest person I’ve ever met, but boy did she put me through hell back then.
But I came out of it with an unbelievable amount of patience and mental fortitude. I also learned how to avoid feeding into extreme attention seeking behavior while still having a productive conversation.
I responded to a flyer on my college campus looking for new players for an upcoming D&D game. 5 years later I got married to the girl who posted that flyer. We’re still playing with some of those same players today.
I used Roll20 matchmaking, guy in that group invited me to another game with their friend.
Been together 4 years and engaged, moved across country, also I isolated myself before so my entire friend group now is from my fiancee.
Original guy ghosted us all in a heartless way, but he’ll forever be the one who introduced me to my new life.
Trolling a girl’s post one lonely evening, leading to getting married to said girl, in a different country, with a different language. All for the better.
That’s amazing, do you guys have the said post and related trolling framed at home?
I enlisted in the Army on Sept 5th, 2001…that was an eventful week.
