In our lives we all experience good and bad events. Whether if the event is good or bad it some how impacts our life. These events help shape you into the person you are today. The main event in my life that help shape me into a better person was when my girlfriend and I broke up. We broke up because I was a jerk. There are many things in our lives that we can not control, but the one thing that we can control is ourselves.

About six months down the line I formed a lot of regrets. The regrets where formed because I realized how wrong it was of me to treat a person that way. There have been many times that I wish I could go back in time to change the way I acted, but I can’t. It seemed like I was lost.

Looking back on what happened I lost who I wanted to become. I was letting my friends dictate my life to me. It was like I came to a fork in a road and the devil was in the backseat was telling me to go down the wrong path. And I was dumb enough to listen. To this day I can not tell you why I let them take over the steering wheel in my life. Also with that I wish I could go back in time and change that, but I can’t. Than I hit rock bottom.

Out of the blue I began to see the light. It was like I was in a dark, cold, musty smelling room and someone opened the curtains. Right then and there I saw who I was becoming and I knew I didn’t want to become that person. Also I saw I was not in control of my life and that is no way to live.

If I was given a wish of forgetting a memory I would not chose to forget this one. No matter how many regrets I formed it made me into the person today. Take my advice from this story. Learn to take the steer wheel in your life and the most important thing is treat every body the way you would want to be treated.
