A symbol

[The People]

What is something that you have that is a symbol of where your life started to change for the better. It may feel like it has never changed for the better. However, if you look back on your path, I think you might be able to name at least a few things that have changed for the better. Even if it is finding MM so you can talk with like minded people.


Mine is my university ring. Post secondary education wasn't a big thing in my town. However, the year I graduated a lot of my friends went to university, trade school, nursing etc. I figured that since everyone else was doing it I should go to.


It was a difficult time in many ways. Wonderful in others. My ring signifies that my life's path took a 90 degree change in direction and got me away from my home town. If I had not gone to university I would likely still be living in my home town. Working at...well there are no jobs left there so I could be sitting at home watching TV all day. Not dealing with my issues.
