For me it would not be getting the girl of my dreams in highschool. I wanted the outgoing head cheer leader and I chased her from kindergarten to junior year of highschool. I knew her almost all my life and we lived down the block from each other so we were also friends. The best thing happened when she started of course dating the quarterback. I was extremely distraught so I talked to her twin sister who has always been my best friend. After I told her how I felt she told me that she gets those feelings when ever I went after her sister and not her. When she said that it was like she had slapped me in the face it shocked me so much. I had always felt like she was just a friend. I had no idea she has had a crush on me and here several times she helped me with several stupid plans to get her sister to like me. Long story short I married that amazing woman 2 years latter our freshman year of college. She decided to be a fantastic stay at home mother with our 6 kids. Now I have a career, a home, and a great family waiting for me.

From my perspective, it would be finding love where I didn’t believe I could have found it over the years. This life is tough enough, stressful enough, without having to travel such a journey alone and never feeling the intimacy of love. Being able to find it and recognize it when you do has been the greatest blessing of my life. And one should never take such blessings for granted. That’s my bottom line.

Being hospitalized and diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis right before starting nursing school. It's hard having to do clinicals and study with the constant chronic pain and fatigue, but the experience of living with a chronic illness helps me connect with my patients and anticipate their needs. Overall, its pushes me to study harder, work harder, and enjoy life more.

I think I am still discovering it but it would involve leaving my old life behind. After I became a Christian - God completely erased my old personality and now He is giving me a new personality with new talents, new skills, new interests, new desires and new personal traits.

One of my best friends. In class I was the nice girl, and she was the one who would cause trouble and got kicked out all the time.
I thought "why would I be friends that person", but we got to know one another and it's been more than 10 years now

Getting fired from a job where the boss and his brother that was the general manager were very abusive, used negative reinforcement constantly and yelled at me in front of the whole office over the smallest shit, and making threats of firing in front of the office. Very toxic environment and job itself sucked.

The stress and anxiety from working there was getting to me pretty bad where I questioned my sanity. I mean sure every job has some stress, but when it's at that level, it's very unhealthy. I only took this job out of necessity as it was the first one I could find that paid decent after 3 months of unemployment.

I have a good job now with good bosses and coworkers so it's a huge step up.

Getting evicted out of my apartment, during my senior year in college in 2008 (weeks after I graduated and walked).

Being forced to move back home against my will, was better for me in the long run. I would have been living in Santa Barbara, CA... when the economy went to complete shit, and Lord knows what type of adverse situations I would have been in, being broke in such an expensive area of the USA to live and where jobs were going scare in the recession.

I was in a very bad place and constant navel gazing wasn't helping me get out of the rut. Something very urgent (not that good) came up that demanded 100% of my focus and attention for about two years where I hadn't time to wallow in self pity. It was the best thing that could have happened to me within that set of not great outside circumstances - I have been able to come out the other side a better person more like the person I should have been 4 or so years ago.

There is one big blessing in disguise but I don't feel comfortable sharing it publicly 😅 at least not on here.
The other one is failing Med School. Because I don't think I would have been able to study until the age of 33 lol.

Having a piece of crap, thieving, lying, druggie older brother. I was so disgusted that I don't do any of the stuff he did. Not even drinking alcohol, or smoking a cigarette or anything like that.
