My past... Well, I'll start with my family. I am the youngest of of four children (2 sisters, and 1 older brother). However, that changed when I was two and my mother and father divorced. Both my parents remarried and both had a child with their new spouse. That makes two more siblings (1 half brother, 1 half sister) along with two step siblings from my step mother's previous marriage (1 older step brother and one older step sister. My mother divorced her second husband while I was in elementary school at which point I moved to live with my father. She remarried again and is still married to my step father today. He also had seven children from a previous marriage (5 step brothers, 2 step sisters). And about five years ago, my step mother who I grew up with passed away after a long hard bout with cancer (this after recovering from breast cancer 5-10 years prior). A couple years ago my father remarried and my new step mother four childred from a previous marriage (1 step sister and 3 step brothers). So, my family past is pretty complicated. :) So with all that, I grew up going to church (LDS) with my Dad's side of the family. My mom's side of the family did not go to church. I did well from junior high, graduated high school and went on a mission for the church to Japan. I really believe that was the turning point for me in my life. I was able live on my own, for the most part, and really find who I am. After I returned from Japan, I went to community college and worked full time. I then moved to Santa Monica a year later to attend Santa Monica college to gain residency to go to UCLA. I tire of working crap jobs and just getting by and having my mother help me with just about everything. So, I joined the Navy as a Korean linguist. Basic training in Chicago during some of the coldest months of the year, graduated! Attended a 64 week Korean language course in Monterey, California and graduated! During which I met a fellow linguist, dated, and married her within a year... almost divorced her then found out she was pregnant and stayed with her. Went to another training school in Texas with her for about 5-6months where our daughter was born. We both got stationed in Maryland together at Ft. Meade in July of 2000. Then 9/11 happened and created a lot of stress with our daughter, both of us on separate 12 hour shifts for about two months. Later in 2001 we ended up getting a divorce. I gave her most of our belongings and I took most of the debt. Then I created more and more debt over the next couple years resulting in a bankruptcy. However, due to the type of job I had in the Navy they stripped me of my clearance and kicked me out because of the bankruptcy. A year before this, I met a girl and started dating who was visiting a friend in Baltimore and attending medical school near NYC. After I got kicked out, I moved to NYC (Astoria, Queens), got a job at Starbucks, and attended school full time at Berkley College. After a year with my girlfriend and school, my girlfriend broke up with me and I moved back to Arizona. I lived at home and got a job at University of Phoenix. I eventually started classes again and started hanging out with a car club. I met one of the greatest girls in this world through the club. I knew her only as a friend for about six months and then we started dating. I changed jobs to my current job. I was doing well in school. We moved in together in a one bedroom apartment and life was GREAT!!... perfect. A year later, the lease was up and we decided to move into a rented house with a mutual friend as a roommate… at which point things started to slowly go sour… We were good at first, but things just weren’t the same as what we had in our own place.. Then we got another roommate that was a mutual friend. Then a couple months later we broke up… a week or two before Valentine’s Day… However, since we were both on the lease, she stayed and lived in one of the other rooms in the house… this was probably the hardest time in my life. We broke up mutually but it wasn’t that we hated each other (eventually we found that it was a lack of communication…). Months later we talked and we understood what happened… I tried to get her back but she was not ready. I waited and waited while living in the same house, while my heart was crushed and stepped on each an every day… I tried multiple times over the next five or so months to get her back… but to no avail. I finally could not take the hurt anymore and decided to move back in with my parents and still pay rent while they stayed there till the lease was done. She now sleeps in the master bedroom in my bed.. using all my furniture. You do not know how hard it is to think about this. I miss her sooo much. She meant the world to me.. So, now I’m spending a lot of my time with friends.. going out.. trying to have fun.. and trying to get over her (which I know will never happen). I recently finished my bachelor’s degree and may be getting a good job in my field soon. Things are looking up, but I’m still feeling empty in one particularly large part of my life… her. I have resulted to certain substances and feel I’ve become something I don’t like. I miss the me I was with her and it’s eating me away inside.
