What does it mean "upturned" in this context? Kevin: I've upturned my life for you. What does this sentence mean? It means he has changed his life completely for someone? I'm not sure what it means. if you could help me understand, i'd really appreciate your help :)

Yes, you're right. The life he had is now greatly different than before (upturned) . However, we wouldn't normally use that word, but rather say "My life is turned upside down."

Yes, your guess is right. "Upturn" literally means "flip over" or "turn upside down." So in this case, Kevin has completely changed his life for the person he's talking to.
