Kimber's Story
Life
Wow a life bio. Yikes. Let me see. My name is Kimberly and I used to go by Kim but I changed my name to Kimber now. I joined classmates only in the hopes of reconnecting with a special old friend of mine who I lost track of when I moved to Poway my 10th grade year.
I never thought I would live in Carlsbad again and when I left I burned a lot of bridges but now I find myself here again. It is all very strange. I am stuck in the past because some things look the same. I had some good times back then thanks to my friends. I have some fond memories of stupid stuff we did. I even have some pictures of the stupid stuff we did.
My life now is a good one. I am married and I have a daughter who is 7 years old. Her name is Alexis. In April I will have been married for 10 years but I dated my husband for 7 years before we got married. I met him right after I left Carlsbad and moved to Poway. Poway was my home town where I was born.
The sad news is I moved back to Carlsbad when I was pregnant with my son. He was born September 5, 2003 and he died May 7, 2004. He had a very rare condition and I am still hardly able to talk about it. Now I am just trying to get back into life. I do not have many friends in this area. The loss of our son has turned our whole world around for many reasons. I keep trying to figure out what losing my son in such a way is supposed to teach me. What life lesson am I suppose to learn. I am not sure I will ever have the answers.
So, now that I have probably depressed anyone who is bothering to read this I should just end it. (Laugh) The bio not my life or anything!! I do have sort of a twisted sense of humor.
Okay now that I have reconnected with the friend I was talking about above...I also had other friends who I would love to reconnect with as well. Th...Expand for more
e problem is I know I burned major bridges with them. My life was so mixed up back then and I know saying things are all different now sounds so lame but it's the truth. I am a different person now than I was back then. Although all my charm and likeable qualities are still with me. (Laugh) I know when I was 14 and 15 I screwed over many of my friends. I know it was wrong but at that time I did not feel I had any other choices. I regret my actions in the past.
I often wonder what my life would of been like if I never moved away. I think about where my friends back then are today and what their lives are like. It is movies like Stand By Me and Then and Now that take me back to the day of riding the 309 to school, hanging out at the beach and trying to be cool. Life was so complicated for me back then a home, but always so simple when I was just getting to hang out with my friends.
I am a writer and living in Carlsbad has brought back a lot of memories for me. I have often thought of writing about that time in my life. A time when it is your friends who really pull you through the rough times. I would love to hear from any of you...I can usually be found sitting above Moonlight beach at sunset reading or writing or at a few different local coffee shops. I also do a lot of research at the library.
I went to so many different schools with all my moves. I know and remember so many people from all of them. I hope who ever reads this at least emails me to let me know they did. Man, we are all in our 30's now and in my mind you all look like you did in the 80's. (laugh) If nothing else....thank you for checking out my profile and take care. I am also on myspace.com. Check it out. Not only is it free to post pictures and all kinds of other stuff.....It's easier to find people....
