Where I Am Today

I am almost 40. Sure, when I was 20 years younger, I pictured myself in a totally different place. But, not many people do end up being who they pictured themselves being. But that’s not to say I am unhappy with who I am today. About a year after the health scare with the clot, I had still felt weaker than before the clot. But, I was told it would take time. Even now in 2021 I still don’t feel like I used to. I was still promoting stuff for Highway Overdrive, keeping track of the social media connections, what everyone else that we had met were up to, those types of things. I had started paying attention to the comments and likes that the band page had been getting. It was a normal day. I had been scanning through the few comments we had been getting and saw someone had liked our band page. When I checked the notification, I realized it was a friend of my step-sister. So, I decided to show my appreciation for the ‘like’ and sent a message to the person. “Boop” had been the only thing I could think of. To this day, I have no idea why I had only written “Boop”, but the response I had gotten from the ‘liker’ was “Beep”. That lead to a conversation with the girl, and we decided that we had both liked each other. A couple of months or so had passed and I had moved to the South Shore of Montreal, from Sherbrooke. Today, we are still together. Almost 6 years. I’ve helped raise her 3 kids and love them like my own, and we have an almost 2 year old toddler together. I love my life and I love this little family that I now have. I’ve gotten healthier in these last 6 years. I quit smoking and I am not drinking as much as I did before and I owe it all to this life changing “Boop”. And that’s where I am today. Love you, Tiffany and kids!
