I had a very sad and bad time, with a business disappointment.
I was actually "backstabbed" by a person I trusted for many MANY years.
I was so sad that I suddenly had constant vertigo dizziness any time my head was not straight (including lying down).
Doctor gave me some pills. Then he told me my ears were perfect but my labyrinth was disturbed a little due to stress and sadness.
Labyrinth is an organ in the head under the brain that is responsible for our... balance and stuff.
After a month I was better, still I was sad.
Keep that in mind.
Well, I have a lot of good moments to remember.
But one of the strongest was my first SURPRISE birthday party (2014).
The brains behind it was my girlfriend (we are together for 1.5 years).
A strong distraction was needed. So she got my best friend who used social engineering and lying.
I usually always trust him since he never lies to me. It was easier for him.
He made me believe we will be out for a beer.
"He had a problem to discuss with me", he said (here is the place he used social engineering to convince me).
So we are in a small rock bar with a wooden old storefront.
The bar was brand new.
BRAND NEW.
Opened a few days ago.
Nothing fishy... just a new bar he learned about and we will try it out to see if we like it.
We got our beer and he started telling me a s#$%load of bullcrap... with an artistic convincing way.
Trouble...
What he told me was troubling my mind 100%. It was really a strong problem. Many things to think about. I was perfectly distracted.
Then, I saw my sister, her boyfriend and many friends approaching the bar.
My brain refused to recognize them...
No seriously... I just saw a big bunch of people...
Then my girlfriend entered the bar, holding a big sweet thing with candles...
She was wearing her prettiest smile.
THEN my brain accepted what I was looking.
I turned and looked in the eyes my best friend.
And I said something that equals to "You son of a..."
He replied...
"For the record... whatever I told you... it's bullcrap".
And he smiled with that grin that was meaning "I OWNED YOU DUDE".
We had the whole bar's participation on our celebration then.
Second thing that happened, a friend who I had lost contact, attended.
What a double surprise.
THAT was the event that cured me.
A very bad thing happened, I felt a great loss.
Then my FIRST surprise birthday party at my 33s!
Better late than never.
Actually, I am happy I never had a surprise party before.
It came just in time.
A big loss vs a big earning.
Tranquility.
