person A: Before I met my girlfriend and friends I was very alone_comma_ that was not a fun time
person B: Glad to hear your life took a turn. It's always weird_comma_ and even sometimes funny_comma_ to look back on your life to see where you came from_comma_ and how different and sometimes worse things were
person A: That is for sure_comma_ it was not in a great place_comma_ but with some hard work_comma_ you can always improve
person B: Well_comma_ it's always so annoying in the beginning_comma_ when you know you have to change_comma_ but to see how much work there is to do in order to reach that change. It's hard for people to break things up into smaller pieces so it's not so daunting. But congratulations to you for reaching a happier place
