I used to have it all. The friends, the laughs, the love, the joy, the contetentment and satisfaction. Everything I could ask for, everything I needed. Thn with one simple decision, it was all stolen from me. And I was deprived of the...

Sometimes I really do miss my old life.I think about where I used to live & all the friends & good times that were had. It didn't seem like that at the time, but now I look back & I really miss it. I had some really good parties. At the...

I moved to a big city from a suburb a few years ago. I was 13 then, and now i'm 16. Back where I was I had a nice house and good friends and I was so happy.

I was in a really bad marriage, very destructive emotionally and I grew to completely despise my husband (see my story in "I hate my husband").  But in spite of all that, outside our relationship, the lifestyle was great...

I was healthy and full of strength. That is the person I should STILL be. Before illness ravaged my body and independence. A mother who could give her daughter the activity she deserves. The wife before who didn't have mood swings...

Not the one night stands, or getting drunk.  I don't even want to rehash those memories with anyone either.  They may have kept us laughing for a while, but they belong in the past.But the closeness of friends.  The cookouts, the...

Where to begin... I am alone in a whole new country. I am studying abroad for a year. I was so excited before to have new experiences and get out of the "rut" I believed I was in. But now that I am in Japan I wake up hoping to go about...
