Plot Twists In Your Life

I have three twists, one of wich is actually really silly:

Let's start with the silly one! Kicking puberty and having everyone saying my voice turned from a childish, almost effeminate voice to an husky, deep and hammy voice, while still looking like a bishie at 20, my growth is weird!

Being an anti-smoke since I was a child and then start smoking when kicking 16, who said I'm an hypocrit?

Confessing my love to my best friend and then being turned down, we still hang out but we can't look each other without blushing a bit.

Without going into details...

I was always the "good kid" growing up, the smart kid that everyone thought would succeed, the one who follow rules and was seen to have a very good sense of right and wrong... It was my older brother who was the troublemaker, whom we visited in prison. I was seen as utterly unlike him...

Then, several years ago, an illness I had undiagnosed and other life problems came to a head and I rent off the rails / had a weird episode and .... wound up doing a thing that had me in and out of courtrooms for a while (no jail, though) and a problem with my record that will chase me the rest of my life.

Related: Being diagnosed with the same thing my brother had, something I considered "the asshole disease" pretty much felt like the end of the world. I've learned to live with it and to handle it better than he did, I hope.

While looking up good some good Kirby's Dream Land 3 LPs, I found one that was by a person named MasaeAnela. The name sounded guy enough, and since most Lets Players were guys, I decided, well, lookie here, I bet he'll be entertaining. Well, I'll have you know, I was dead wrong. No, not on the entertaining part, mind you! I was completely wrong when it came to the gender! As soon as I clicked on the video (entitled Welcome to Cuteness Overload), I was greeted by, instead of the man-ish voice most Lets Players had, a high, effeminate voice that was unmistakably female. I was shocked by this appearance, but once I acclimated to the surprise, I quickly grew to like her.

It may or may not be true, but I found out that my mother was my father's second wife (or third, I don't remember).

Also, I'm late to the punchline sometimes.

I like to stay up till 1:30 sometimes, and only now did I realize that it's March 26th, meaning a mere 11 hours before the Mane 6 meet Flurry Heart.

I'm going to be moving to Kentucky!

Meeting a friend of mine who I never thought I'd see again after changing high schools.

Also, my uncle dying. No one ever saw that coming.

Yesterday, I found out that my friend speaks Spanish a lot better than me.

Being diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome at age 9. The girl I took for granted during the first years of our friendship turning out to be one of the most loyal and wonderful friends I have ever had, while the girl who I had pinned as being my friend for life eventually drifted away from me altogether. My love for Korean Pop Music leading me to discover a community where I finally felt like I belonged.

Finding out that I'm apparently good enough at writing Creepypastas, to the point where I have a decent cult following, fan animations, and even a short film dedicated to some of mine. That and being read by The Midnight Society a few times across their members.

My mom's sudden death was a huge Wham Episode.

There have been other plot twists; my partner of five years is a guy I worked with nearly a decade before we got together, my identical twin brother was assigned female at birth so his coming out was a big story arc, there were some romantic plot twists back in my 20s...but really, my mom's passing was the biggest jaw-dropping, mind-screwing, "WTF do we do now?" moment so far.

Around 2011 I was about to go to class and boom I had a seizure and diagnosised with epilepsy in a month with an unknown cause.

In 2014 both my nan on mum's side and my uncle/mum's brother were diagnosed with cancer. Nan survived through chemotherapy but is wearing (suprisingly realistic) wigs now. I don't remember what specific cancer she had.

I know that my uncle, however, had stomach cancer. He died because the surgeon said they couldn't remove it. He left behind a widow, two daughters and an extended family that misses him.

Has anyone noticed similarities between the ultra beast Nihilego and the enslavers from 40k?... Considering warp rifts, how they work and that Cosmog a psychic type was used to open ultra wormholes , how the villain has a similar pattern that happens to most fools who mess with the warp (having a reason to mess with the ultra wormholes but end up forgetting the reason why and being TOO INSANE TO CARE ANYMORE by the time you encounter her)... For some reason Sun and Moons plot is looking like something different than what the norm is comparing the plot to.

For me, at least, that death is a lie, that God does exist (and is literally everything), that reality is formed by the thoughts of the people who inhabit that "empty" space, that I'm actually living on through clone bodies, that every time I felt heart problems, it was because I was dying in those realities in which my fear of death destroyed me, that gravity is actually the law of attraction (and, in my realities, the manifestation of trust), that heat death and entropy were noxious lies meant to keep the masses afraid, that everything's made out of the cosmic vacuum, "eitr," that Saturn/Lucifer doesn't oppress the masses without invoking a huge karmic debt, will end up alone in the futures in which he tortured everyone out of consciousness with his hellfire, and is afraid of losing control over photons for that reason, that everyone has demon sides and human sides, and that the light we see is the last thing anyone should trust.

My mom telling me that I am a quarter Hispanic.

Finding out that one of my friends was literally “fake”, and was an alternate persona of a person I already am friends with.

Dear God, discovering my sexuality has pretty much become it's own story arc. At first, I thought I was straight as an arrow because I only liked boys. However, later on, I thought I could potentially be asexual because I hated the mental image of myself having sex, but I was otherwise okay with it. Later, I befriended a girl, and I realized that I have a crush on her. Thus, I began to identify as bisexual. Speaking of which, my crush and her previous boyfriend split, but just when I thought I could make a move, she told me she had another boyfriend! And then he broke up with her... I'm still struggling with how I feel about this...

The day it was revealed that Trump was elected. Not only was someone extremely controversial now in power of one of the biggest countries, it was the same day that I found that Ash's Greninja would definitely be a promotional thing for Pokémon Sun and Moon. I was infuriated by the latter, actually. So much so, it's apparently redirected my previous hate for the anime into itself.
More recently, finding out that the BBC News outright slandered Doki Doki Literature Club!. They twisted the words from a suicide being a major plot point into "this game encourages suicide". I couldn't believe it... Now I realise no-one in the journalism sector other than specialists in video games should be allowed to do news stories on them. No-one in them is immune to bias against video games. Or they will always half-ass their research. Either way, disgusting. Even worse, I can't think of a reason why they would do this in the first place! Other than for something like money or publicity, maybe even For the Evulz.
