What was the day that changed your life?

Definitely the day I met my girlfriend. She's the only one for me. :')

The day that changed my life was on April 22nd a couple of years ago. All I can really say is that it has to do with two of my family members. Unfortunetly one commited suicide and the other was diagnosed with cancer. This all happened on another family members birthday. This deffinetly showed me that life is short and now I've gone from being lazy, to going after a GED and getting a drivers license.
So... yeah that deffinetly changed my life.
 
The only day I can remember that really changed my life in a traumatic way was on March 11th, 2011. It was the earthquake and tsunami in Japan - it also caused me to be afraid of dying in a natural disaster while being away from family. Over 15,000 people died and many towns washed away, it just gives me nightmare just thinking about it. It just reminds me to enjoy life as much as possible and t smile everyday. Other natural disasters or terrorist attacks have a similar effect on me but not as traumatic.

The other date I can remember that changed my life was in July 15th, 2010, when the doctor told me I had Diabetes type 2.

I'm sure there are more, I can't remember them.
 
I was 11, I just had a conversation about the universe and it's workings with my father. Years prior, I'd previously questioned the significance of existing, but I put it in the back on my mind and stuck to my beliefs. I did that once again, but little did I know that was huge decision. Choosing to ignore my thoughts would have effects later. Basically, I started changing subtly and didn't know why at the time. When I was 15, I had another huge pondering session (these happen often, but this one result in a change in my psyche, mentality and other inward parts of me); I still stuck to my "beliefs", though.

Over the next fear years, I started struggling with the significance of existence, religion, and everything I'd ever known. On my graduation day, as I prepared to deliver my Valedictory address, I thought about tossing my speech in the garbage, going up to the stage, and simply saying, "I have no idea what I'm doing and sadly.. neither do you..... That is all." On that day, I appeared as happy as your typical graduating student, but I was as scattered as a cluster of nebulae. I gave my speech, but after that day, I (being my mental state as opposed to physical) was never the same.

It was gamebreaking, extremely humbling, but tragic at the same time. My psyche and demeanor have noticeably changed since then (arguably in a good way). The domino effect that resulted from that realization is still effecting me to this day. Detachment ensued. Skepticism.... But along with all of this came an unfamiliar open-mindedness. (all these traits had initially began to be displayed when I was around 15, but took to a new level upon graduation). Worst of all, a lack of will-power was amongst the resultants. I had no desire to "succeed" anymore. I've still kept my "moral integrity" and have yet to slip (and never will) into any drug instigated depression cycles.

Nearly 3 years later, I have no idea what I'm doing. I want to have an impact, but whatever we do, on a universal scale, is comparable to nothing. I still try to have as much of an impact as possible in college, but it's haunting knowing that sooner or later, no one will know recollect me.... or any of the people that I am to meet and have met. Relative futility..... Sagan, Degrasse Tyson, and many of you would disagree, and perhaps argue that somehow we are all indeed extremely important. I just don't see how... or why...

Everything changed when the fire nation attacked.......

I'll say the day that I accepted that I'm fell in love with someone. Before that I didn't think I could and the person really did change how I look at he world. My personality change long with it.

It the the event that change me from a bitter jerk that hated everything to a more carefree understanding person. While it didn't change over night, I do become more aware of things and beginning to see that the world isn't as bad as I once thought. As well is taught me what My sexuality is.

I can't tell if the OP is a joke or not.

Anyway, there have been a couple significant days in my life so far, but nothing that has actually changed it, just influenced it.
 
For me, personally, the most significant day of my life would have to be when I discovered my Penis. My parents & I were visiting some cousins in Boner, Bonerville, and it was New Years Eve. Our family is not the type of family that enjoys partying and boners, because we're deeply religious, so we had to celebrate Christmas, despite the boners. But for News Years, there was nothing too special going on... including the boners (I'm pretty small). Everyone was just dwelling in the holiday season, I had received a new Pokemon game for my DS, which I was busy playing, some of my really creepy uncles were having their eyes glued onto my sisters..

But that one particular night, it was about twenty minutes after dinner. And my cousin had gotten an enormous boner. Every night after dinner, he would go down in the basement, whack at his boner, and drive us crazy. Oh, my God. His sin was terrible. However, that one particular night, we were just sitting around, obsessing over electronics, and, suddenly, some really, cool, sweet, NICE drumming music was coming from the basement. We all looked at my uncle, as if he would have any idea as to what the hell was going on, and he just said, "Well, I don't know. It must be the CD that I recently bought for him, either that or him strumming his Boner along to some random Nickelback CD."

My cousin, he came flying up the stairs, "Did you hear it? Did you hear it?" He hysterically cried.

"Yeah, what WAS IT?" we all asked.

Then, he explained, that he was clanking away at his boner, and suddenly, a white, floating figure come from the ceiling and floated towards him, and grabbed his hands and forced them to play some really nice drumming music.

We... were just.. like.. "WHAT??!?!"

He was like, "No lie! It just happened! And, I closed my eyes real tight, but I could still see it anyways!"

We found out later that it was just the first time he had released his own seed lol

July 12th, 2012. That was the day i got spinal cord surgery to fix my suvere scoliosis. The surgery started at 8:30 AM and lasted about nine hours. It changed everything. For the first few months I wasn't able to go swimming, running, i could barely even sit up on my own. I couldn't bend over... I can now though. Well now i have a 2 foot scar down my back. Now whenever people ever taunt me at school or something, i think to myself, "I can get through this. I got through my scoliosis."

My sympathy & support will forever be with you! The day that changed my life was back in 2010. I had a dream about a girl I couldn't stand & it occurred to me that I may have had a crush on her. I then see her & she looked a whole lot prettier than she usually did & we really talked to each-other (getting to know each-other personally) It was then I came to the reality that I'm finally a teenager. Love's such an unexplainable complexity...

There exist two such days for me.

1st one, the day of immigrating from my birthplace to my currently living country, about 15 years ago. My original home city was a well-developed busy place, where shops at the street open 'til midnight, and you can get almost all sorts of new technological goodies very easily, it is just very convenient for me as a city-dweller. But the city where I'm currently dwelling is in a developing country, so no more shops open 'til midnight (almost all the shops closed after sunset), no more convenient shoppings available, even internet browsing is damn hell slow compare to my home city. So, my lifestyle had a complete change, from a regular city-dweller lifestyle to a countryside rural lifestyle.

2nd one, very recently about a month ago, the day where my laptop had been stolen. Though I can just go buy myself a new one very easily, but I did not due to financial reason and many other personal reasons. So now I had to live without my laptop. Well I do have another computer for myself, but it is a home PC where it is not freely mobilizable, so I can't do any of my personal work (fanfic + fanart) whenever I'm outside my home, and it also give me hindrance of my job as a self-employee, and together with a bit of extra health issue problem for siting in front of an immobile computer for too long... So just simply speaking, my life become very very VERY boring, and also very very VERY inconvenient, just because of the loss of my laptop.

Well, the day I received my first pokemon game certainly did influence my life ever since but...

Yeah there was this thing that happened a couple years ago. Nothing big really, it's just that for a while my mom suspected she might've had breast cancer. She turned out to be fine (thankfully), but even though it always has been just a possibility, it completely shocked me.

I couldn't even bear to think that I might lose her. I know this is kinda awkward to say, but she's so important to me. And I never realized it until I thought she was going to die.
I appreciate her and everyone in my family a lot more now.

Long story short I was a jerkbag in middle school and rightfully got beat up for it. It really changed my perspective and my personality. Luckily I moved that summer so I got a new start.

February 13th of this year: The day my daughter was born. I have never loved anyone or anything even close to what I feel for my daughter. Sure, I love my girlfriend and my family and close friends, but having a child of your own changes your perspective so much. She means everything to me.

You honestly want to know? Well, I'm tired of holding it in and since I don't actually know any of you people, I don't care i you know. I'm now 17 years old in my second to last year of high school, the thing that changed my life forever was when I was about 13. Like most teenage boys in middle school, I had begun to have the realization that girls were different than guys if you catch my drift. I always grew up a bit more innocent and naive compared to the other kids, to be honest, I didn't understand what sex was until I was in the 7th to 8th grade. It could have been a combination of many things: the fact that I was going through puberty, my feelings that I was unloveable, (especially in a romantic way), due to constant bullying growing up, or because of what the media and other kids my age had implanted into my brain. The fact is, since then I've had a long struggle with pornography and lust in general. Now I know what you're thing, "Wow, the guy with a billion 'I'm a Christian' messages in his signature is saying this, wow what a hypocrite". You know what, you're right, I am a hypocrite. I'm as ceseptable to sin as any other man or woman. You can imagine that I could never tell anyone within my own faith about this struggle I have because, while not all Christians are like it, the church tends to not like letting people see our dirty side, which ironically is the opposite of what we're supposed to do. My point is this, I've struggled with this problem for a long time and I still do... it's corrupted me and my way of thinking. It's a constant battle that I must always fight, day in and day out. That one faithful day...has affected my entire life and being.
