2010: Ex-fiancee broke up with me on MLK day almost a decade ago 24 hours after I proposed. Contemplated suicide, slept around a lot, let myself get out of shape, and was in a go nowhere job living in an area I couldn't stand. I did manage to distract myself by going back to school for my Masters degree.
Now: Have a wife, a kid, bought a house, got my mental health issues taken care of, I'm in good shape (could be better), moved away from a toxic section of the country to a very nice town that's an ideal place to raise a family, and even though I'm looking for a new job since I'm bored with what I'm doing, I'm making more money now than ever.
I like to tell my story to those as a reminder that you don't have to let life keep you down.
