This year I have put up with a lot, and I have come tho this guild quite a bit. This thread is more positive though.
This year has had many things.
Mother and grandmother passed away
Lost friends
smaller things like getting skype
getting a new, useful computer
It is just amazing how much I have changed since last year at about this time.
Skype made me go from literally afraid of the phone to able to speak freely on it.
The losses in my family have made me realise I need to be more of an independent person, and I have been looking for Jobs seriously for months, the first time I can say that.
Losing so many friends this year made me realise just how important they are, so I refuse to lose more than that and be nicer to people as well, in attempts to find new ones.
I say this all, for a few things
one just to express the fact that I have found that silver linings on the worst of things do exist. Not to mention that I have finally realised it.
Though the thought provoking thing I want to bring up, is, has there been any hardships or even simply small things for any of you that made you a stronger person, even if in small ways.

Lone Ocelot thanks Nikolita, i needed that. You're welcome. smile In the past 3.5 years, my mom's biggest health issue was breast cancer, which she thankfully survived. Nowadays, it seems to be her memory that's going, more as she's getting older.

The main thing that's changed me the past year and a half is growing closer to God. I'm a totally different question, I was whiny neagtive, scared tot talk to people, had low self esteem. None of that is true now. I'm noticing things that I never saw before. He is completely reforming me.

One year ago, I was in a job I hated, in a house I wasn't sure I liked, and in a relationship that didn't fulfil me. My life was going nowhere, essentially.
Today, I'm in the best relationship of my life, at college and heading for uni, have awesome friends, live somewhere else, and fortunately only work part-time at the crappy job (which is still very crappy). So I'm a lot happier.
But all I can say is that the good comes with the bad, and all events shape our lives... all we can hope is that it leads us somewhere good.
