It seemed like I had all the jewels in the world: A loving husband; a big house; all the money I could wish for; a very nice car, yet something seemed missing, as if it wasn't complete somehow. Like the puzzle I call my life had a missing piece. Little did I know, my seemingly perfect and boring life would change in a second. I would lose all my jewels, but gain two emeralds.
It all happened many years ago, when I was twenty one, and happily married to my first husband, Luke. We had been friends since we were children, and like the obvious 'fairy tale' we slowly became more than friends, dated throughout college and then he proposed to me. I was a teacher, mainly because I wasn't sure of the thing I wanted to do, and he was a stock marketer, and he got lots, and lots of money from that. Its funny looking back and seeing how much my life has changed
I remember clearly the night when everything went downhill, but it wasn't all bad, if anything, it was the thing I had been missing, fun. Before I gained my emeralds, my life was a bore, I had always been that goody two shoes shy girl in the back of class, minding her own business and getting straight A+'s. That was the same right from elementary school right up to college. Life for me had always been far from the edge, and inside the box. Always the same, no change, nothing
I'm not so sure when it snapped it my mind, but I remember waking up one day and thinking "Bloody hell, I'm boring." I wasn't sure if it was just from meeting him, or something my subconscious has been telling me all along, all I knew, I couldn't carry on that way.
This is the first time I've told my story in full, and trust me, its a long one...
