That meme

This meme is everywhere, and it's actually really interesting. So here's my personal history:

10 years ago I was studying at University of Helsinki for the second year. I had decided that although I was good at maths in school, it wasn't what I wanted to study - and I had therefore started to study computer science. I was engaged to be married to my high school sweetheart (although not in love with him) and we moved together after he got out of the army. I was planning to get married with him the year after, when I joined Spock's HUT where I met most people I consider now to be my closest friends, and fell passionately and madly in love with a guy who made me laugh like no one else had before or ever since. I left my fiance, moved back to my parents' place shortly before moving into a shared house with my new love. I pretty much stopped studying and started larping.

Five years ago I was living in England and engaged to a completely different man, had gotten back to studying and graduated in the summer as BSc (Hons). I was sure I wanted to be a researcher, and we moved to Bishpop's Stortford and I started a new job. We were planning to get married and booked a place for our wedding for the summer after, and I suffered acutely from panic and anxiety disorder which made my and my partner's life a hell at times. After being in my new job only for three months I, together with the whole department, was made redundant with quite a handsome redundancy cheque which I decided to invest in a new company I started with my collegues.

Three years ago I had been married for a year and was still living in Bishop's Stortford, although in a different house. I was working in that small start up we had founded and had constant troubles at work until I was assigned the head of testing. I loved testing and decided that that would be what I wanted to do with my career. I had finished my therapy and was a lot happier for a while until my husband decided to take a job in another city which meant that we spent most of that year apart, him only coming home for the weekends. We had a major marital crisis which we overcame, and I started going to the gym for the first time in my life.

A year ago we were both living in Southsea, and I had a new job in Newbury where I commuted daily. I was working very hard but loving every moment of it. We had started this blog, and I had gotten into yoga big time.

This year I've been unemployed living in Vancouver and while on medication and recovering from depression I've been quite happy. I've been practicing a lot of yoga and exploring the city.

Yesterday I finished The Snow - best book I've read in ages, made a big chili and watched Iron Chef with the husband.

Today I've been chatting with Chu on Skype for hours and forgot to go to yoga because of it. I did some laundry and got a package from Amazon with Paul Grilley's book in it.

Tomorrow I'll go to yoga and do some more laundry.
