Say you were able to eliminate one day from your past, so that you never had to live through it, what day would you erase?

I wouldn’t, my experiences, good and bad, are what make me me. and I quite like me

The day I got an std.

Probably the day I found out that my two close friends were killed while doing inventory at the Outback Steakhouse in Texarkana. That was the most horrendous day, and subsequent week, of my entire life.

The day as a child, something broke in me.
The same day I had my first panic attack, realized I’d lost my faith in the Catholic church a long time before and understood my own mortality.

I was eleven.
It made me who I am and I am grateful, but it was the single largest trauma in my life up until and for a very long time following that day.

@asmonet So are you saying you wish you still lived in the childlike ignorance you had before that day?

I have already lived the day and thus to erase it would mean coming to terms with the tragedy all over again.

So- since I cannot erase the tragedy I will let it stand.

@essiness: Refresh, I added more. :)

And I wasn’t ignorant, I didn’t take that as an insult, it was a moment when many things changed inside me and in the span of a few hours my entire person was altered. It is still the single most important moment of my life. So…I don’t know. Maybe I wouldn’t take it back. It gave me strength, but it destroyed me combined with the reasons it came about for a few years.

@asmonet Ah, gotcha :)

Shit, refresh again, I edited my second quip, it’s a terrible habit.

Alright guys I’m gonna go with something a little more lighthearted, There was this one night I got a little too drunk and started dancing with this girl. About 10 minutes later she informed me that she was actually a man. I could go without that gender bending experience in my life.

^Nice.

Coming up on two years…....the day our granddaughter’s boyfriend was killed. They were planning on getting married. It’s changed her & our whole family forever.

Oh, that’s so sad. I’m sorry, jb.
I hope you’re all better, or working to be that way.

@asmonet Thank you. It’s been horrible. She’s going BACK into grief counceling this week.

@jbfletcherfan : That’s awful to hear. I hope she and the rest of your family can find peace soon.

The day/night I found out my cousin died in a car accident. Having to fly back there at the last minute for the wake/funeral/memorial service.

@jbfletcherfan: Really, that’s a good move. Traumatic anniversaries are difficult. Again, I wish you all the best.

@asmonet :-)

@ubersiren Thank you. :-)

There are so many that are tempting, but I’ll have to go with none. All of my experiences have shaped who I am today.

There are so many days that have been truely awful, and I’m sure there are many yet to come. But the same goes for the good days I guess. Today has sucked though. :(

@saraaaaaa Sorry to hear about your bad day. Welcome to Fluther, though!

Thank you very much, a truely random find. The best kind :)

@saraaaaaa I second @augustlan‘s welcome!

:) I do love a good welcoming. It has brightened my day some.
