How do significant life events or the passage of time influence your perspective on life?

I’ve been married and divorced and from that marriage I had three children.

These three things have shaped me more than anything else, now how have they changed my perspective?

I don’t ever want to be married again. The man I am with now is the man I will be with for the rest of my life, but I have no interest in marrying him. My first husband and I were together for thirteen years before we got married. We were married for three then we divorced. It wasn’t a good relationship but I didn’t realize that until much later. I really don’t want to have anything to do with my first husband but I have to because we have children together.

My kids have changed my entire world. I never knew you could love and care for another human being so much. My oldest son has autism and he has no speech. Seeing him grow up has made me feel differently about people with mental health issues. Also the way people think and why they do the things they do, he has changed me in so many ways.

My other two sons are really great artists. They draw digital pictures mainly cartoon characters and my youngest is writing a story that goes along with his characters. It’s all very complicated and has something to do with outer space. I would not be the creative person I am today if I didn’t have them.

That is all for today, I am going to stop now because I could go on and on, have a good day everyone.
