10 years ago today..

Something happened that changed my life forever. The funny thing is, I didn't know about that event at the time, but strangely enough it shaped the way my life has turned out. Someone made a bad choice, a choice that they had made countless times before, but this was different. This was the time he got caught. And had to pay the price. And the rest is history. Had these events not been put in motion, I would have missed out on falling in love...3 times, I would not have met some of the wonderful, amazing friends that I have now, and I wouldn't have certain perspectives on life that I do today. Sure, there were bad choices made along the way on my part, but I wouldn't change a thing. Every single thing that I have done in my life has put me where I am right now.
So although I'm sad that 10 years have passed, and unfortunately your life seems to be about that same that it was on July 31, 2000...mine is a lot different, so I thank you for that.
