Open Thread: What Have You Bounced Back From?

BounceBack

You thought it was going to wreck you for good, but it didn’t. What was it?

Maybe it was a loss. Maybe it was a failure. Maybe it was a heartbreak. Maybe it was an injury or an illness or just a piece of terrible news that you thought you’d never come back from. But you kept going, and you bounced back.

I’ve had my share. I lost my girlfriend and my job in one month once, leaving me alone and broke in a place I couldn’t afford and couldn’t afford to move out of. It was a bad time and it was hard for me, but bit by bit, things got better. I got a new job, I got a new girlfriend, and things turned around one degree at a time.

At some time in your life, you’ve done the same thing, or something like it. How did it happen for you?
