What’s surprised you the most about your life or life in general?
TurningPointCT.org was developed by young people in Connecticut who are in recovery from mental health and substance use issues. We know what it’s like to feel alone, stressed, worried, sad, and angry. We’ve lived through the ups and downs of self-harm, drugs and alcohol, and the struggle to find help.

Life, but especially religion and the fact that everyone dies
My life is a rollercoaster, but to sum it up, when I realized how much my life changed when I became an adult and how differently people treat me.
The kind of conscious choices we make sometimes. Being amazed by the unpredictable and chaotic nature of the human being is ceaseless.
This question definitely stirs up a lot of discussion within my own mind, so it’s one I will enjoy answering. What has surprised me the most about life has been the fact that people can be so evil simply because they have a deep desire to do so. There are some people in this world who you do not have to negatively effect in anyway whatsoever, but who will still go out of their way to make sure they hurt others. I never knew that that there would be people who would be intentionally mean, who would sabotage and spoil good things that others had going for them simply to see them fail. Also, to this day I find it hard to piece together why some people who have gone through negative upbringings turn out to be so different than others.
What’s surprised me the most about life is the constant change and growth in ways that are unimaginable. No matter how much you might plan and prepare, you literally never know which direction your life will go.
