My Life

Abandonment: The Day My Dad Left
The exact day my Dad left, I do not remember so we will call this day Jan 1, 1998. I took more of a feminine since this point in my life. -
Talking
I honestly couldn't remember for the life of me when I started to become such a talkative person but I was always told when I was young you could not get me to stay quiet. I'd always talk to anyone I seen and at the time you'd think I would be the type of person who'd give speeches and such. -
The Day My First Dog Had Been Put To Sleep
On September 10th of 2001, my dog that had been with since I was born, had to be put down due to a bad leg and old age. This dog had affected me in a way I had not realised until recently. Growing up so close to a dog had helped shape me into the animal I am today. -
A New Location
I'm an unsure of the exact date of when I moved but around mid-way of 2002 I had moved from Sagamore Hills, Ohio to Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio and thus began a new chapter in my life; 5 years of torture. -
The Day I Talked Less
Sometime toward the end of my 4th grade year I had been considered a kid who is extremely talkative. I had been teased about how much I talked and because of that I had begun to talk less hoping that I would not be teased for talking too much again. -
The Tree
Throught most of fall during 2004, after I was done raking the leaves in the yard I was determined to climb the tree in my front yard. Physically this helped me build stamina and also brought out my determined side. -
A Painful Incident
Sometime midway through the school year of 2005-2006 I had been racing my friend in the hallway when he had tripped me as a joke and I had hit my head very hard against the brick wall. To this day, I swear that blow to the head had some effect on my memory. -
The Start Of My Sedentary Lifestyle
This is the day I started to play a MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) that has caused me to not be as active as I should and I'd like to be. -
Females
Around 7th grade was the time that I had really started to talk and hang around girls. Previously I did not hang out with girls except for my chilhood friends from my hometown. -
Biking
Throught the 2nd half of my Summer starting about midway through July, I had started to bike more but it was not a set routine. -
Somewhat Over My Fear Of Talking To Strangers
Around the time of Christmas of '07 I had gotten an Xbox 360 with Xbox Live. I had to face my fear of talking to people I didn't know and since I've had Xbox Live that fear has dropped alot. -
Adding On To My Sedentary Lifestyle
After recieving the Xbox 360 I had started to play it very often and I had become less active thus not being too physically built. -
The Return
After 5 years of torture I had finally returned back to my hometown of Sagamore Hills. I seen old friends who changed physcially but I had still remembered them from before I left. Sadly the previous 5 years had started a depression that had just recently ended. -
The Start Of Forming Relationships
Around late May I had been asked out by a girl I barely knew at the time. I started to expand my group of friends since I started dating her and I had definitely become less socially akward. -
Summer Of '08, The Good Times
During the summer of '08 I was slowly degressing in activeness but I had definitely been active and the summer was a great one. I was about average when it came to being average and I still have the somewhat active side in me. -
Trust Issues
Around my Freshmen year of Highschool I had learned that there are some people in the world you cannot trust. Socially this makes me more weary about who I can talk to about certain things and it makes me not as social. -
The Depression Worsens
The exact date is unknown and I do not wish to remember this day often because of the terrible feeling I had. Sometime before Summer ended I found out I'd be moving soon to Michigan. I was tired of moving so much and to know I was moving again had made the depression I was in even worse. I'd be leaving all my friends behind again and it was something I did not want to experience yet again. -
The Day I seen My Father Again
This was a day that I had gotten my hopes up because my dad had came back into my life. I felt like everything was going to be normal again and I'd get to know my father better and spend time with him. -
Another New Location
I had left Ohio on December 31st and had arrived at my new house in Michigan on January 1st. Go OSU and Michigan State -
Slowly Drifting Out Of My Sedentary Lifestyle
Since I've moved to Michigan I have noticed I am becoming more and more active than I was in Ohio. I have high hopes that I will continue this. -
1st Day At Reeths-Puffer
This was the day I had would have prefered to of been left alone because I had not wanted to establish any attachments so it'd be easier when I move back to Ohio. I did not want to talk much for the first week or so of school fearing that I'd start making attachments. That fear has soon come true and now it is less of a bad thing to me and more of a good thing. -
The First Funeral I Went To
Shortly after arriving in Michigan I had recieved a call from my Grandpa that my Greatgrandma had passed in her sleep. I knew that she had little time left and yet I was still taken by surprise. This had been the day I experienced the pain of losing a loved one. R.I.P. Greatgrandma, you will always be loved and missed. -
Standing Up And Talking In Front Of The Class
As if me not wanting to talk too much at school due to the fear of attachment, I was forced to present my writing in front of the class and read it out loud. While this looked good on my part I really dreaded the moment and yet it had helped me be less socially akward. -
The Social Change
Around Febuary I had started to branch out and allow myself to make a fool of myself to create stronger attachments with my friends. -
Acceptence
It had taken a few months but I had finally accepted the fact that I was going to be living in Michigan and that wouldn't change anytime soon. I had made friends and the depression I was in had finally ended. I had started to feel happy again. -
A Close and Helpful Friend; Ayla Vaughn
On the 6th of June, 2012, I had developed a relationship with Ayla Vaughn and since I've been with her she has helped me become more social since I had regressed socially when I had gotten to Michigan. -
Abandoned Again
Father's Day was the last I heard from my father and has been still to this day. I learned at this time that some people truly do not change. My father is still the dead-beat dad my mom and grandparents told me he was. -
Yet Again, Another Painful Incident
Within the first week of Summer I was riding my Ripstick around and I had made the mistake of turning on a hill while going relatively fast. I had falen off the board and slammed my head into the ground. I had an annoying ringing in my ears and a piece of gravel somewhat stuck in my head. Despite the pain it was not all that bad. -
Video Chat
This is less of a specific date but more of the whole summer. This past summer I had gotten over my hate of Video Chats and thinking I'd be making a fool of myself. This is definitely something that will help me socially because if I get a job that uses Video Calling I won't be nervous about doing so. -
A New Physical Beginning
At this point and time I started to break away from my sedentary life and hope to continue this style of living.
