What is an event that altered you in some way? (piefed.social)

For better or worse. Small scale or large. Personal or shared. What is an event you've experienced that changed the way you act, live, feel, etc. It could be short-term or long. Share what you feel comfortable with. Triumphs and tragedies alike.

Some of us are actively working on ourselves every day, and understanding what makes you tick and how you got there is a big part of it.

Unfortunately I have a carrer that promotes derision, fortunately I've had a partner for 25 years helping me get my empathy back.

As long as you know your way home, you'll be alright. People rag on love, because it's seen as this cheesy thing. You know? But really, there's something magical about a partner who can heal your soul. That's good stuff, and I'm glad you've got someone who does that for you. Cheers!
