15 years may seem a long time but it goes by so fast that it doesn't feel like a long time. It's weird how so many things can happen & change in a short time let alone a long time. I am bringing this up because next month I would be married for 15 years. Another thing that happened 15 years ago, Savage Garden hit the air waves with their hit songs including 'Truly Madly Deeply'.
With these two things & turning 40 next week, I have been thinking a lot about things. In 15 years I have gotten married, my husband got custody of his kids, lost a baby at 3 weeks. I lost my grandma & Aunt in the same year & just a few months apart. Went from a crappy tiny apartment to owning a house & now loosing the house. Lost 4 businesses & filed for bankruptcy. Got my first dog (a yellow lab) and lost her 2 years ago. My husband & I have grown closer even through our ups & downs.
Then there is me personally. I went from being depressed & just floating through life to realizing that I was depressed, why & trying to fix it. Putting myself out there & made a few friends in other states. Making mistakes, feeling things I never felt before, discovering myself. Trying to accept myself & continuing to grow & push myself even at 40.
I have interacted with my longest crush Donnie Wahlberg, have experienced a new adventure being a Darren Hayes fan. These 2 things have also helped me in discovering myself & trying to overcome things. Who would have thought 15 yrs ago that I or anybody for that matter could interact with people from around the world in real time including people you admire.
These past 15 yrs have had a lot of ups & downs but I am still standing. Watching my step-sons grow & seeing my sister get married. So much has happened & sometimes blows my mind. I can't wait to see what life has to bring me in the next 15 yrs & beyond.
