mademoiselle aka jessica Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 When I got close to being 40, in 2015, I looked backwards. And there was a massive clear out in my life. I was also able to be me, accept myself and admit to my weaknesses and, especially for me, rely on others for the first time. Without going in depth into our private lives, did it happen to you too ?

Len Cnut Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Only 32 but thus far i haven't been able to successfully be anything but me. I'm starting to wonder whether that's the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracii Guns Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 When my mum died, that was my turning point. I spent my life trying to please her- as is natural for any child to do. Mum going was a complicated weight off my shoulders. My behaviour changed too, I went from a loud, threatening, opinionated girl to a quiet, diligent and diplomatic young lady (those of you who have met me might have a few other adjectives too!). I just matured all of a sudden. I was 19. 26 now but haven't experienced such an alteration in life as that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real McCoy Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I'm trying to get to Nashville on a full-time basis. If that happens anytime soon (I'll be 31 in July), I'll credit that as the turning point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Dog Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Never had a problem being me, I've kind of always knew who I was and have always been true to myself. But I had a kid at a young age. I guess thats when it hit me that, I don't need anyone, don't care how others live their life, don't care what or how anyone else thinks. As long as she thinks I'm a good dad, that's all I need. Not to sound cold, but as long as I got her the whole world can fuck off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to the Ryman and the Opry numerous times. Absolutely beautiful buildings, and the Opryland Hotel is just insanely amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been onstage at the Opry. An artist friend of mine that played that night was able to get my girlfriend and I backstage passes, so we got to see all of the dressing rooms and such, and we were able to watch the entire show from the side of the stage. (They have seats and standing room in the back of the stage.) Truly a moment that I'll never forget.

DR DOOM Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 A few years ago I lost family members in quick succession, lost my job, girlfriend, home and fell out with life long friends all in the space of a year. It kicked my ass, but I woke up to myself and have really sort of turned my life around and become boring/responsible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryfon Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Next month I'll be 40, If I can't quit smoking totally and drinking at the rate I've been doing it recently then I've accepted I'll be dead before I'm 50. Its been a crappy year, father died, 2 weeks ago a family member living with us had a stroke and is a vegetable. Then as the cherry on the cake I got paid off from work last week when I was the only source of household income. Excuse me while I finish my 4.42am Vodka & Coke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 No, it didn't happen to me. It's not about me anymore, it's about the mini fridge I bought to go next to the couch. Everyone should get one. I've got it stocked with coke, tonic and Budweiser and it's my number no. 1 priority in my life. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovim Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) When I seriously started looking into Weed. I flirt with getting hammered, alcohol is nice but the major and only U turn in my life was starting to smoke and probably discovering Jimi and The Beatles as well.

moreblack Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Quit smoking a few years ago and gained a bunch of weight as a result. Had to either start working out or just watch the scale numbers keep going up. My cardio is definitely legit these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't consider myself a metaller, I can see how you'd get that impression, but I don't really listen to that much metal tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
