Either by choice or sheer luck. What is something that has happened to you that made your life actively better?

(So far) For me it has been me finally able to move out of my parents home.

Getting my dogs.

I stayed at a community college instead of going to the shit 4 year universities that accepted me. Saved me time and gave me more opportunities to grow and meet new friends

Yeah. My toxic as shit ex wife decided she wanted a divorce. What I perceived to be the worst day of my life was actually the best day of my life I just didn’t know it yet.

I met this extremely successful woman that has shown me life can be amazing. I never thought life could be this good.

I started kayaking! It’s been a lot of fun and it’s been great to explore new places in my area that I’ve lived at for over 30 years!
