We all move through our day to day lives searching for meaning. Some search for wealth, others for power, and still more for love. What we search for changes throughout our lives but we are constantly searching for something.
I didn't think I was on a quest for anything but survival. I wanted to get by; to be able to take care of myself. I didn't want to have to rely on anyone but myself. At most, I hoped for a small sliver of happiness, a quiet life where I didn't make waves. I was out to minimize pain.
A life can change in an instant. Sometimes it's expected: milestones like going off to college, taking a new job, traveling to a new place, getting married. But I've come to understand that the biggest changes happen when we least expect them. One day you wake up and go to work and the world you thought you knew explodes, and you are left standing in the dust, trying to figure out which way is forward.
This is my story. It's the story of how he found me, and how I lost him, and how I found myself.
