The turning point of your life?

So, I had some good time with an old friend of mine today. We finally ended up at a coffee shop and talked for hours there. I always love talking-time with friends, especially with those whom I can’t meet and talk to everyday. There are just too many stories to be told!
Both of us shared stories and some thoughts of our daily life. Well, I’m not sure whether this friend feels the same way as I do or not, but I think we have some similar thoughts on some certain problems.
We were talking and talking and suddenly, she said, “To be in love, somehow, could be a turning point of someone’s life.”
I couldn’t agree more. What she said is true. (Well, at least for me.) My friend and I felt the same way about this, about being innocent and problem-free.
I think, now, I’m calmer than I used to be. I always try to calm myself down whenever I have to decide on something. I have to take all the risks of my decision, and there’s no turning back. No regret. This is what I’ve got. This is what I’ve learned. I'm growing up a little more each day. I’m always hoping to be more mature as I get older (and not vice versa). I think, I have to thank someone for giving me another challenge of life. LOL
Those experiences, those feelings are some exercises for the heart, mind, and soul. Why is that so? Of course, to make them get stronger and stronger! (Guise, fyi, I’m not trying to be wise or something-like-Mario Teguh.)
I could write longer than this, but suddenly there’s only blankness in my head. I couldn’t think of any good word, so I’d better stop here. :3
