Whooot!!
 

I have been struggling with thoughts of wanting to marry my girlfriend. After my first wife dying and leaving a void in soul that will never be repaired and my second wife turning on me in marriage, becoming abusive, I said no more marriages and when I got serious with Janna, I told her not to expect a ring. She said she was okay with it. But, lately I have been deeply fantasizing about marrying her. I stopped and got a ring.

Guess who is officially engaged? She said yes! Yay! I'm really elated right now. I was so scared she would say no.

Congrats Shamus ^_^ I'm happy for you!

Hey! That's great though! Following how you truly feel is important!
Congratulations to you! <333

Glitch: Thank you! :D
SparX: Thank you. To begin with, I have detachment issues, so I have an incredibly hard time feeling romance. Usually all I can feel for women is a desire to be in bed with them. But I finally felt love her a year and a half after dating and being very intimate. I didnt think I would ever feel like this though. :) I'm so happy.

That is awesome news! Congratulations!
How is Jana feeling, the baby still in there?

Thank you! Janna is feeling alright. She's sick of being bedridden. And yeah, Noel is still in the womb. She's 29 weeks, so its getting close to time.

I am glad things are working out so wonderfully for you.
But damn! 11 kids! hahaha you will have your hands full.

Thanks! Its about time! I just got finished going through some rough shit and it seems like my life has been one struggle after another, so this is really nice.
Haha yeah. Its funny, I grew up saying that I hated babies and children and never would have one. I wasnt careful and honestly, I am beyond glad and thankful that I wasnt. They really are the best things I have done in life. I will always love and cherish each and every one of them. <3

That is such a beautiful sentiment about your children. At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is family. So you are quite blessed. Bad times end, and good times start. That has always kept me going.

Thank you, I think so to.
Yes, the fact that no bad situation is forever is really a comforting thought.

I've read that life goes in 7 year cycles.
It seems to be that my bad times occurred during a 7 year period, then good times followed for 7 years (approximate). I am frankly afraid to figure out whether I am waning or waxing right now!

Interesting.
That would be a nerve-wracking thing to learn. My life goes in 37 year cycles. So far all 37 years of my life have been kind of an uphill struggle. Lol.

Well then it can only get better, and it looks like it is getting better.
I sometimes get sad thinking of all the struggles I have here, and the struggles of all people here in this dimension. It would be nice to be able to go between dimensions and pick the life you wish to live and forget the rest of them. haha

That would be rad. Lol.

Yeah, scientists say that there are 11 multiverses (I'm sure there are many more) and that our past, present and future are all occurring at the same time. I totally believe that. Wouldn't it be the coolest thing to be able to time-travel?

It would and although I would be tempted to go back in time and change the past, the past happened for a reason and I wouldnt be me without each event.

Congratulations to you, Shamus! :D

That is an interesting point. I think there are things I would change, but then who knows the consequences of that action. The best time travel book I ever read was Time and Again by Jack Finney. Actions do have consequences.

Lawtan: Thanks! :D
Moonshadow: Well, there are things I regret doing fore sure but I wouldnt ever stop myself if I had the chance because I'm okay with who I am for the most part and thenthings I dislike about myself are the results of other people's actions towards me. Even if I could go back in time, I cant control other people.
I would probably read that book. Time travel and its consequences are very intriguing.

Congrats on the engagement, Shamus. :)

Congrats Shamus :D!

Toho: Thank you! :)
Potironette: Thanks! :D

It's 11 dimensions, not 11 multiverses. It's a geometry thing, not a sci-fi "alternate dimensions" thing.

That said, there IS a meaningful theory about the configuration space of the universe, the infinity of all of the possible universes at every possible point of divergence and every possible different combination of universal parameters. Your life is a path curving through this omniverse of possibility.
