Many would have been crushed, never getting over it. Especially considering that it did not happen when you were 18. When you are young it is easy to get over something thinking of how much time you think you have ahead. As we grow older....adversity can be tougher. I guess it depends on the state of mind. We also become more resilient and emotionally intelligent with age (at least some of us like to think that we do lol).

One of my best friends told me the other days something which I really remembered. That she looks at every failure or obstacle as a challenge, as an opportunity to do something different. She said that life would be so boring without challenges . And I told her: well someone challenge me now with 1 million dollars hahha. Jokes aside I admire your resilience a lot G. You are like a Phoenix bird, always rising from the ashes.
