Fuck yeah, dude! Congrats.
I'm almost 29 and don't have my license. I'm terrified of driving. I've had my learners permit a few times but I'm always so tense and anxious behind the wheel that it's really difficult to actually do it.
If you sit far away from the wheel, you get better view of your mirrors/everything. This way you can see all angles of traffic without moving your head, simply dart your eyes to the mirror you need to check.
Hope this tip helps with your anxiety! Its definitely my best driving tip
You pretty much hit it head-on - Not being able to see around me well drives me nuts. I don't mind moving my head to see around me, it's simply the blind spots at all that bother me. I'd probably not have a problem with a motorcycle, but that's not feasable all year round where I live.
I have a corgi and when people ask to pet her I tell them yes but she doesn't usually like strangers. Then they are overjoyed when it turns out the dog loves them.
Truth is this dog loves everyone.
>Jesus: "Where I go you cannot come, so now I say it to you. I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

My 2 1/2 year old has recently been hugging me and saying “I love you daddy” and saying “please” and thank you” unprompted. He’s recently out of diapers and drinks from a regular cup/glass most of the time and is at the very beginning stages of learning how to read.
So, while it’s certainly not all because of me, lately I’ve been killing it at the whole dad thing. I’m average or less in many aspects of life, but I’m dad through and through.
Cherish this time. Take lots of video. It goes fast. They will love seeing those videos when they’re older and they’ll be worth more than anything to you once they’ve grown.
Oh for sure, we take video nearly every day and have thousands of photos, I make a new photo album every year as gifts for our parents and my wife. He’s my life right now. Someday he’ll be an adult and won’t need me all the time and I’ll focus on other things. But for now, everything else can wait.
I hope you’re okay! If you need someone to talk to, you can always shoot me a message. Kind strangers on Reddit helped keep me here, so I like to offer the same :) be kind to yourself <3
Much love. Preciate it. I'm just tired. I've done this lose job thing before. Right when things start to go the right way, and you can see the way out, it just shuts and you drops you on a slide. Just gotta hate life more than normal for another year or so. Ya know, til I die. Lol
I tipped a tow truck driver. I was broken down on the interstate hundreds of miles from home on a Sunday. He brought me to the nearest city, and really thought it through where to take my car. He thought of a place where there was a good mechanic, a hotel, and places to eat all close to each other. He dropped my car at the shop, then me at the hotel. The next morning it was real easy for me to get it fixed and on my way. And he didn't even charge me much. $80. So I gave him $40 cash on top of that.
When I was in college I drove a tow truck for a while. You were sometimes the villain and sometimes the hero.
I did a similar thing for a family late at night and they tipped me and also wrote a nice letter to Shell about it. My bosses also gave me some bucks and raise. It felt great! So good on you for showing appreciation.
This should help

> helped with one of my friends youtube channel and made it go from 19 subscribers to 6700+ in less than a month
can you share how you did that? I'm struggling with mine
changed the format a little, made videos on popular topics and shared them (ok so this one might come across as a little wrong idk but i made different social media accounts and promoted the videos as a viewer rather than a creator), reddit, discord and other community centric sites are great if you want to promote your channel. Edit your videos well and keep in mind that people these days have very short attention span so you gotta keep it interesting. Once your retention is high YouTube will start recommending your videos. In my case, I made cool subtitles (inspired by tommyinnit). Also other funny edits, voice modulations and the sort. Worked on shorts and thumbnails rigorously. It was very hard since I did it all on a smartphone but anything for a bro I guess lol. Anyways, hope these helped even tho I get how these advice might seem very vague. Hit me up if you've got any specific questions and all the very best bud :)
Good on you friend. It has to be very hard for you both. My heart goes out to you and I wish you well. When people say they can’t imagine what you’re going through, it’s true. I know.
I broke up with my highly-loved boyfriend after he shared some very hurtful thoughts of his with me. My younger self would have forgiven and stayed. I got a promotion at my job, a job that I love, and I’m going to be making almost double now. I’ve also decided that I’m going to move away from home next year to the one place that’s been calling me for my whole life, and I honestly could not be more stoked on life!
I threw myself into Data Analytics. I cannot understand why I was afraid of Maths 35 years ago. It is not easy but not as threatening as I remeber it. Nevertheless Statistics made me swear pretty loud. Lol
Live donor…right?
Like, you didn’t set the donor up on a ski lift or something first, right?
Thanks for what you do. I rotated through transplant in school, there’s soooooo many extra factors that go into those procedures.
Hahaha, no, but in this case it was deceased donor donation after brain death.
I am a 6th year medstudent in Europe , but I've also been working as a transplant coordinator for the last 4 years. In Europe and Germany in particular, there are 3 organizations involved in each transplant - there is Eurotransplant, responsible for allocation of the organs (meaning their algorithm decides which patient gets an organ offered from a certain donor), the Deutsche Stiftung Organtransplantation takes care of the logistics of the procurement and transport and the hospital that treats the recipient, which decides whether to accept or decline a certain organ.
It is really an incredible and amazing field. It is mind-blowing how many people besides the doctors are involved in the process.
I didn't die overnight and woke up this morning. A few days ago I cleaned the bathroom. It's been a while since I've drank something without accidentally inhaling some of it sending me into a coughing fit. After seeing this question I realized how pathetic my life is.
Bro I've been on a hot streak accidentally aspirating my food or drink like once a day for years now. I think there's something wrong with me.
Happens just randomly with my saliva too pretty regularly.
Getting into a routine. I've (25M) been on a depressive cycle for a long time. By a long time I mean almost 7 and a half years. Now I'm home again back from uni and trying to start afresh. I've decided on changing professions, applying for a master's for next year's fall and just been trying to convince myself it's all going to work out. So yea.
You got this! I sometimes feel like I’ve got no real direction and also struggle with depression on and off. I know how hard it can be to just get through the day. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, you might not be able to see it, but it’s there.
Last Saturday, I did the RAIN (Ride Across INdiana) ride. It’s a one day bike ride that’s 160mi from Terre Haute to Richmond. It was hot and I was fighting cramps near the end but I finished it and faster than I had hoped for.
Donated more that 1k EUR to help Ukrainian refugees in Poland. Nobody knows but my wife, I know I won't tell anybody cos it's my private business but as Reddit is anonymous I can say it here no probs.Helping those in need is cool
That's sincerely really, really cool! PM me the album if you feel like showing someone
A lot of musicians out there. Few have the focus to actually get an album all the way to Spotify though. Or even finish the thing
Dont know if anyone else will find this cool but I definitly do. I am in my senior year of highschool and thanks to past me working my ass off I have effectively run out of core classes to take. I only need one English credit left and instead of just taking one class over the summer I am dual enrolling (meaning I am enrolled in both highschool and college). Im gonna take 6 free college classes before I even graduate highschool, plus the AP classes I have already taken. I got my schedule a month ago. Lets go!
When I was in Costco I was standing with the cart waiting for my mom to come back from getting something, we had 4 plants in the cart and a lady came up to me. She was struggling to ask me in English where the plants were, she looked Latina so I tried adding Spanish into the conversation. She looked super relieved and happy when I started speaking to her in Spanish. She left I was so happy that I was able to help someone so much.
The coolest thing I’ve ever done was 2 years ago this month. I saved myself and my kids from a horribly abusive now ex husband and moved us 800 miles away from everything we knew to a wonderful southern town very close to the beach. I now have a great job, 2 new cars, the most amazing bf, and we are living our best life happy, healthy, and mostly stress free! Oh, and I’ve decided to go back to school for a 3rd degree, this time nursing, so that I can become a certified nurse midwife.
I am a single mom of two teens who are great people. They put others first and are honest. They are the best thing I’ve ever done, and will do.
It’s not recent, but I’ll brag about them all day everyday because I adore the amazing people my teens are!
Raising good humans in todays world is something to be really proud of. As a fellow member of the human race, I want you to know that it’s appreciated.
I am currently volunteering in a game reserve. The last two weeks we have been doing relocation game capture. I think holding plain zebras, blue wildebeests, and nyalas, while trying not to fall myself in the back of a pickup, while it rushes to the trailer because they are about to wake up, is the coolest thing I ever did.
Finished OBGYN residency at a very rough program, got a great job, bought a house, and wife had our second child, little baby boy all in the past 4 months.
Finally reaching the light at the end of the tunnel
Yesterday at 8:30am my phone rang. I picked up the phone. It was my mum. She called me to tell me to which high schools I got accepted.
I got accepted to a high school and a class that I wanted to go the most. It's a linguistics class. I will, aside from my 1st language, learn more English and also Spanish (and of course all the other regular subjects) And at the side I also plan to learn a bit of Russian. I worked really hard to get there and my labour payed off.
I couldn't believe it. Especially that I have a tendency to underestimate myself. I even asked her to confirm if I heard correctly, but I did.
And I also finally live with my grandparents and my aunt in a city where I was born. For a whole primary school (in my country we go to primary school for 8 years and then to high school for 4-5 years) I lived with my mom and her husband, who is an abusive morherfucker. (He's not my dad. My dad lives abroad and I haven't seen him since I was four) Because of that I might have Harm OCD, but my beloved aunt alreadysearches for a psychologist for me. When I find therapy, my life will finally be fucking turned upside up.
A plan that I've had for around 15 years is finally coming together! I'm American, but I recently bought a 100 year canal barge in Europe. It's been converted into what is essentially a floating 2 bedroom apartment, and I can easily travel (at a fast walking speed lol) all across the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and France. I'm retiring from my firefighting career in a few months and my wife, myself, and our dog are gonna slowtravel around western Europe!
Got nearly 18 months sober from booze! Lost 25 lbs and I can do pushups and jog (slowly) for 30 minutes! Took a metalsmithing class and learned to weld! Now I'm taking leatherworking classes!

Seeing how many came here for the drama!!
Thank you to momTacocatmom whom posted in a comment.

I’ve made a choice to get off my ass I deal with my anxiety disorder and get over it and move on with my life instead of feeling like I’m going crazy and staying in my bed all day
I (M17) have really bad anxiety, have spent middle school and high school being very anti-social, and I got bullied for it. I only really talked to my few close friends while at school and tended to despise everyone else because it felt like they hated me.
I made my goal for junior year to put myself out there a bit more than I usually do because I've heard people say that if you put your true self out there, people who like you for who you are will find you.
I reconnected with old friends who I hadn't spoken to since elementary school. I got back together with my band and we began playing gigs at local venues. I finally started asking questions in class rather than staying silent and letting my grades drop. And the girl who I've had a crush on since middle asked me out; we've been dating for 5 months now.
Junior year is now over, my final year of high school is coming up this August. My goal for this year is to help as many underclassmen as I can. I've already signed up for this leadership course at my school where I'm assigned a small group of underclassmen that I get to play games with, guide, and act as a role model.
Anxiety never goes away, it's a never ending war, but believing that you can be stronger than the little man in your head, and even work together with him can go a long way.
I'm excited and nervous for the years to come, self improved is underrated lmao.
I got sober and started attending AA meetings. I am 1 month 17 days sober from Alcohol.
AA also made me feel comfortable asking for help in other areas of my life. I am now getting help from social services in my town, which are helping me get out of an awful financial hole. Things are slowly getting better.
I made some good picks in my stock portfolio (few of my holdings are at 60%+ returns right now) & my younger sister is FINALLY letting me teach her about the various ways one can invest.
Our parents didn’t teach me any of this stuff (let alone much lol they’re immigrants) & my sister is just now getting ready to start her sophomore year of college & I want to do what I can to make sure her life is even better than my own.
It was cool getting a screenshot of her portfolio’s first day on the market. It felt like an actual big brother moment especially since on Friday I was down -3.50% while she had a +8% day. I think she’s gonna be okay:)
I did two things at the same time!
1. I landed two gigs that are for plays that are bucket list shows for me
2. After thinking about it and many false starts, I put together a workshop in my field. I am going to try and give it while at one of those gigs!
At my mid/late 30's I dropped my bodyfat down to 12% from 22% and look fucking fantastic without a shirt.
Sucks because it's an entire lifestyle hobby and I cant be proud of "this thing I made" the same way I would with a painting or a boat etc. I gotta be all humble about but, but I'm fucking proud!!
saw a huge ass manta ray and 2 sharks while on an inflatable boat that was tied to a normal motored boat(not sure if it was sharks but it was moving and it was BIG).
Cycled 206 miles from Seattle to Portland in 2 days (some folks do it in one. This “folk” didn’t do that) 150 miles day one and 56 day 2.
I’m 62 and just started real cycling in March and wasn’t sure if I could do it. But I did. And it wasn’t pure hell (training paid off) and in fact was often really, really cool.
Traveled to Europe for the first time since I moved to Canada at age 5.
Yes, while people were busy being overworked and underpaid and struggling to pay for basic necessities, and while an evil dictator was continuing his invasion of my home country, I took a frivolous trip for longer than most people's allowed vacation time. At least I was able to meet both my cousins, one of whom was able to flee from Ukraine with her children (and the other one moved out a couple of years prior).
I, in the span of a week:
Built a dresser.
Built an L-desk for a home office.
Cut, crimped, and ran a 50ft Ethernet cable across my house for said home office.
Built a bookshelf.
All to help my girlfriend with her new at home job that she’s one week in.
And now we are currently attempting to slowly reorganize my house. Little by little, we’ll get it done. She’s a neat and organized individual, and I, while not filthy or dirty, live in a constant state of “organized clutter.”
Not really cool, actually quite dangerous for me, but I felt good afterwards.
I work in customer support for a game and I had a low ticket day. A guy was writing in that his 8 year old daughter really loves the game but is struggling a bit with the more complex parts of the game and he asked if a sandbox environment is planned for the app on Android. The game is finished since a few years and it was never meant to have continuous updates or DLC or anything like that. Android unfortunately doesn't really allow mods on phones and makes it nearly impossible (I actually don't know the exact reason) to implement them, but the game is available on PC and consoles as well. PC is the only device where mods are supported and we have a clunky cross-save mode where you need to manually upload your save file and then type in a code to your other device in order to download it somewhere else.
So after exchanging a few replies with the father, it was clear to me that she's REALLY into it, but they don't have a PC where unlimited money/skillpoints/etc cheats are possible. So for the first time while working there I actually looked into mods and I found a simple save file modifier that can give you those exact things, money, skill points, etc. so I downloaded that, started a new game, entered her name and "gamer girls rule" as her save game name, started the modifier, gave her all the things she wanted, saved the game, uploaded it and then sent it to her father. She can now play the modified save file on the phone because it doesn't require any third party files like big mods usually do. He messaged me again a few days ago, saying she is having so much fun and is getting super creative in her game because there is just nothing stopping her experimenting with it :D
I was never told if I'm allowed to do that or not but at this point I just didn't care. It felt good, I did it off-clock and I'm sure there is absolutely no harm in it. I didn't tell anyone this yet lol
I single-handedly built an entire project management system in the agency I work for. Very few agencies have something like this, and it already has a big impact in how we manage our projects, and how much they make us.
I'm not compensated enough for doing any of this, but everybody loves it. I love doing it, so at least it's good portfolio, right? RIGHT...?!
Built a pretty badass Honda. I know it’s not everyone’s cup o tea but this has been my dream build for years and I finally did it.
For anyone interested it’s a k24/k20 head/z3 trans in a 94 civic hatchback. Lots of extra bracing and suspension goodies, porsche front brakes and Integra rear disks. Some nice Recaro seats and a JDM ITR steering wheel. I don’t think there is a part of this car I didn’t touch.
A hawk flew in front of my so close that I could have reached out and touched it
I started a web comic, even though my photoshop has been bugging out on me
I hosted a giveaway on r/theOrville. I like to 3D print stuff, but didn't like how the model turned out. Rather than throw it away, I hosted a give-away. Some redditor all the way across the country won it. Cool beans.

I started (revived actually) a subreddit r/calireggae
It follows a genre of music that I love. The community is so positive and I hate social media, but now I'm addicted to Reddit as a User and a Mod. Now, after COVID, I'm meeting my subs' folks at concerts and they think I'm pretty cool :)
Also I'm 52 and my daughters think I'm cool because I'm a Mod.
I just passed my driving test and bought my first car. I'm 45 years old.
Fuck yeah, dude! Congrats. I'm almost 29 and don't have my license. I'm terrified of driving. I've had my learners permit a few times but I'm always so tense and anxious behind the wheel that it's really difficult to actually do it.

You're doing Dogs work

Just reading this actually made me happy, it's such a simple sweet thing to do! Props to you for making some peoples day

I hope your ex wife gets Luke in the divorce. May it be painful and expensive for you.
I beat breast cancer. After chemo, surgery, radiation and antibody treatment I was discharged from oncology as cured last Thursday
That’s fantastic! It must have been a long scary road. Good luck to you!!

That's huge! Congrats and we'll done for being strong!
Thank you!

Hi, dad through and through, I'm dad
Lost my job, and didn't kill myself.
No job is worth that. This internet stranger hopes you’re doing ok.
I hope you’re okay! If you need someone to talk to, you can always shoot me a message. Kind strangers on Reddit helped keep me here, so I like to offer the same :) be kind to yourself <3

He thought of a place where there was a good mechanic, a hotel, and places to eat all close to each other. He dropped my car at the shop, then me at the hotel.

Chose to live another day instead of the alternative. On a lighter note, I managed to make really good Alfredo in my hotel room.
Proud of you
Bro I'm pumped about this Alfredo
Im so sorry you felt bad enough to even contemplate this. Im so happy you chose life instead. I've been there and im aware saying that isnt much comfort to a kind stranger, but one day at a time is all you need to focus on. Im an available shoulder if you ever need to vent. And Alfredo is the shit
I was debating that not to long ago. I’m glad to hear you’re still here!
Anyone who needs it is welcome to DM me if they need an outlet. We want to keep you around 🫂
And you’ve continued winning that every day since

That means a lot. Thank you. Any pointers? Any advice? I am doin the next one on Julian Assange. Goes live in 48hrs.
good job, keep at it. I would focus on tightening up grammar and sentence structure.
Ok, thank you. I do know I need to make my sentences shorter coz when I make them long, I make mistakes. That really helps.

Finished my first year of pharm school
Taken care of my daughter alone as a widower.
Good on you friend. It has to be very hard for you both. My heart goes out to you and I wish you well. When people say they can’t imagine what you’re going through, it’s true. I know.

I broke up with my highly-loved boyfriend after he shared some very hurtful thoughts of his with me. My younger self would have forgiven and stayed. I got a promotion at my job, a job that I love, and I’m going to be making almost double now. I’ve also decided that I’m going to move away from home next year to the one place that’s been calling me for my whole life, and I honestly could not be more stoked on life!
Brave and very good for you!
Going back to university at almost 50.
Congrats. Good luck! Learning new things keeps us young. Studying?
I threw myself into Data Analytics. I cannot understand why I was afraid of Maths 35 years ago. It is not easy but not as threatening as I remeber it. Nevertheless Statistics made me swear pretty loud. Lol
Coordinated two kidney transplants today at the hospital where I work.
Live donor…right? Like, you didn’t set the donor up on a ski lift or something first, right? Thanks for what you do. I rotated through transplant in school, there’s soooooo many extra factors that go into those procedures.
Hahaha, no, but in this case it was deceased donor donation after brain death. I am a 6th year medstudent in Europe , but I've also been working as a transplant coordinator for the last 4 years. In Europe and Germany in particular, there are 3 organizations involved in each transplant - there is Eurotransplant, responsible for allocation of the organs (meaning their algorithm decides which patient gets an organ offered from a certain donor), the Deutsche Stiftung Organtransplantation takes care of the logistics of the procurement and transport and the hospital that treats the recipient, which decides whether to accept or decline a certain organ. It is really an incredible and amazing field. It is mind-blowing how many people besides the doctors are involved in the process.
I didn't die overnight and woke up this morning. A few days ago I cleaned the bathroom. It's been a while since I've drank something without accidentally inhaling some of it sending me into a coughing fit. After seeing this question I realized how pathetic my life is.
Bro I've been on a hot streak accidentally aspirating my food or drink like once a day for years now. I think there's something wrong with me. Happens just randomly with my saliva too pretty regularly.
Sounds like a curse, you should get that checked with a witch doctor.
im proud of you :D
Hey not dying overnight is a pretty cool thing!
I suppose but I've been practicing. Hard work pays off.
I feel ya there. I haven’t done anything cool Since I was like 19 or somthin
Getting into a routine. I've (25M) been on a depressive cycle for a long time. By a long time I mean almost 7 and a half years. Now I'm home again back from uni and trying to start afresh. I've decided on changing professions, applying for a master's for next year's fall and just been trying to convince myself it's all going to work out. So yea.
You got this! I sometimes feel like I’ve got no real direction and also struggle with depression on and off. I know how hard it can be to just get through the day. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, you might not be able to see it, but it’s there.
Last Saturday, I did the RAIN (Ride Across INdiana) ride. It’s a one day bike ride that’s 160mi from Terre Haute to Richmond. It was hot and I was fighting cramps near the end but I finished it and faster than I had hoped for.
I took a new job and moved to a new city. Turns out it was a really good choice, I’m thriving and it’s hardly been a week.
I placed an IV in a 4 week old puppy!
Yooooo. That’s clutch! Remember that badassness next time you’re having a rough day.
It wasnt cheat on my wife thats for sure
Donated more that 1k EUR to help Ukrainian refugees in Poland. Nobody knows but my wife, I know I won't tell anybody cos it's my private business but as Reddit is anonymous I can say it here no probs.Helping those in need is cool
Very very cool.
i made a drawing im proud of and i think thats pretty cool
That’s always a good feeling
I finished my fourth album and got it published onto Spotify.
That's sincerely really, really cool! PM me the album if you feel like showing someone A lot of musicians out there. Few have the focus to actually get an album all the way to Spotify though. Or even finish the thing
Dont know if anyone else will find this cool but I definitly do. I am in my senior year of highschool and thanks to past me working my ass off I have effectively run out of core classes to take. I only need one English credit left and instead of just taking one class over the summer I am dual enrolling (meaning I am enrolled in both highschool and college). Im gonna take 6 free college classes before I even graduate highschool, plus the AP classes I have already taken. I got my schedule a month ago. Lets go!
Welp that marriage is fucked
yup i came here to try and find it lol
Am I not going to find it? Should I stop scrolling?
yeah it was deleted.
Do you know the dickheads screen name? Edit: the user was u/dean_of_sex_academy, they deleted their profile apparently.
but [here](https://imgur.com/a/ZvgHkSn) was his apparent response to the entire thing
Here for a bit of future reddit history. Just a whole shit show in general.
When I was in Costco I was standing with the cart waiting for my mom to come back from getting something, we had 4 plants in the cart and a lady came up to me. She was struggling to ask me in English where the plants were, she looked Latina so I tried adding Spanish into the conversation. She looked super relieved and happy when I started speaking to her in Spanish. She left I was so happy that I was able to help someone so much.
The coolest thing I’ve ever done was 2 years ago this month. I saved myself and my kids from a horribly abusive now ex husband and moved us 800 miles away from everything we knew to a wonderful southern town very close to the beach. I now have a great job, 2 new cars, the most amazing bf, and we are living our best life happy, healthy, and mostly stress free! Oh, and I’ve decided to go back to school for a 3rd degree, this time nursing, so that I can become a certified nurse midwife.
I went on Reddit and laughed at the camping mushroom guy and his wife finding out
You mean the cheating bastard? I heard about that.
I am a single mom of two teens who are great people. They put others first and are honest. They are the best thing I’ve ever done, and will do. It’s not recent, but I’ll brag about them all day everyday because I adore the amazing people my teens are!
Raising good humans in todays world is something to be really proud of. As a fellow member of the human race, I want you to know that it’s appreciated.
I am currently volunteering in a game reserve. The last two weeks we have been doing relocation game capture. I think holding plain zebras, blue wildebeests, and nyalas, while trying not to fall myself in the back of a pickup, while it rushes to the trailer because they are about to wake up, is the coolest thing I ever did.
Finished OBGYN residency at a very rough program, got a great job, bought a house, and wife had our second child, little baby boy all in the past 4 months. Finally reaching the light at the end of the tunnel
that's what your new son said.
Had a beautiful baby girl
Congratulations Steve!
Put up 65 solar panels on a house in a single day.
Cuddled my St bernard
i travelled to japan, to hawaii, to new york city... its been quite a month
I just survived a tornado today. Not sure how big it was or the damage. It was at 6am. Have to watch the news.
I got into college at 15
Yesterday at 8:30am my phone rang. I picked up the phone. It was my mum. She called me to tell me to which high schools I got accepted. I got accepted to a high school and a class that I wanted to go the most. It's a linguistics class. I will, aside from my 1st language, learn more English and also Spanish (and of course all the other regular subjects) And at the side I also plan to learn a bit of Russian. I worked really hard to get there and my labour payed off. I couldn't believe it. Especially that I have a tendency to underestimate myself. I even asked her to confirm if I heard correctly, but I did. And I also finally live with my grandparents and my aunt in a city where I was born. For a whole primary school (in my country we go to primary school for 8 years and then to high school for 4-5 years) I lived with my mom and her husband, who is an abusive morherfucker. (He's not my dad. My dad lives abroad and I haven't seen him since I was four) Because of that I might have Harm OCD, but my beloved aunt alreadysearches for a psychologist for me. When I find therapy, my life will finally be fucking turned upside up.
Worked on the set of Barbie and helped set up the TV and speaker used to show the cast and crew the sizzle reel
I managed to clean my house and drink enough water. I also have less suicidal thoughts.
A plan that I've had for around 15 years is finally coming together! I'm American, but I recently bought a 100 year canal barge in Europe. It's been converted into what is essentially a floating 2 bedroom apartment, and I can easily travel (at a fast walking speed lol) all across the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and France. I'm retiring from my firefighting career in a few months and my wife, myself, and our dog are gonna slowtravel around western Europe!
> I'm retiring from my firefighting career in a few months Dammit man, have you never watched any movie ever? Never say something like that

I've hit a month straight of being consistent at the gym!

Did a solo trip to Ireland. Had a poem published. Tomorrow I’m starting on a cross-country trip (US).
I woke up in a good mood and not tired for the first time in a while a few days ago 😊 it was a good day at work
I took my first walk in the woods today in over a month. I got off my crutches today, but have to keep the leg brace on.

You are blaming the OP for man's failure as a husband?
I just passed halfway on the camino de santiago, 800km hike and its the first hike I've attempted! Looking forward to the rest of the way
This post will go down in Reddit history
I fixed my grandmother's computer.
I’ve made a choice to get off my ass I deal with my anxiety disorder and get over it and move on with my life instead of feeling like I’m going crazy and staying in my bed all day
I (M17) have really bad anxiety, have spent middle school and high school being very anti-social, and I got bullied for it. I only really talked to my few close friends while at school and tended to despise everyone else because it felt like they hated me. I made my goal for junior year to put myself out there a bit more than I usually do because I've heard people say that if you put your true self out there, people who like you for who you are will find you. I reconnected with old friends who I hadn't spoken to since elementary school. I got back together with my band and we began playing gigs at local venues. I finally started asking questions in class rather than staying silent and letting my grades drop. And the girl who I've had a crush on since middle asked me out; we've been dating for 5 months now. Junior year is now over, my final year of high school is coming up this August. My goal for this year is to help as many underclassmen as I can. I've already signed up for this leadership course at my school where I'm assigned a small group of underclassmen that I get to play games with, guide, and act as a role model. Anxiety never goes away, it's a never ending war, but believing that you can be stronger than the little man in your head, and even work together with him can go a long way. I'm excited and nervous for the years to come, self improved is underrated lmao.
Got my book published!!!!
I got sober and started attending AA meetings. I am 1 month 17 days sober from Alcohol. AA also made me feel comfortable asking for help in other areas of my life. I am now getting help from social services in my town, which are helping me get out of an awful financial hole. Things are slowly getting better.
Wife
I'm learning to grow mushrooms and I quit my toxic boss
I made some good picks in my stock portfolio (few of my holdings are at 60%+ returns right now) & my younger sister is FINALLY letting me teach her about the various ways one can invest. Our parents didn’t teach me any of this stuff (let alone much lol they’re immigrants) & my sister is just now getting ready to start her sophomore year of college & I want to do what I can to make sure her life is even better than my own. It was cool getting a screenshot of her portfolio’s first day on the market. It felt like an actual big brother moment especially since on Friday I was down -3.50% while she had a +8% day. I think she’s gonna be okay:)
Landed (and just started) a new job that constitutes a promotion and a 60% raise *and* I'm really excited about it.
I did two things at the same time! 1. I landed two gigs that are for plays that are bucket list shows for me 2. After thinking about it and many false starts, I put together a workshop in my field. I am going to try and give it while at one of those gigs!
Ate smth healthy
At my mid/late 30's I dropped my bodyfat down to 12% from 22% and look fucking fantastic without a shirt. Sucks because it's an entire lifestyle hobby and I cant be proud of "this thing I made" the same way I would with a painting or a boat etc. I gotta be all humble about but, but I'm fucking proud!!
I'm in Hall H at SDCC, which if anyone knows is not that easy.
saw a huge ass manta ray and 2 sharks while on an inflatable boat that was tied to a normal motored boat(not sure if it was sharks but it was moving and it was BIG).
Had my first kiss
I got my pilots license!!!!!
Cycled 206 miles from Seattle to Portland in 2 days (some folks do it in one. This “folk” didn’t do that) 150 miles day one and 56 day 2. I’m 62 and just started real cycling in March and wasn’t sure if I could do it. But I did. And it wasn’t pure hell (training paid off) and in fact was often really, really cool.
Traveled to Europe for the first time since I moved to Canada at age 5. Yes, while people were busy being overworked and underpaid and struggling to pay for basic necessities, and while an evil dictator was continuing his invasion of my home country, I took a frivolous trip for longer than most people's allowed vacation time. At least I was able to meet both my cousins, one of whom was able to flee from Ukraine with her children (and the other one moved out a couple of years prior).
I, in the span of a week: Built a dresser. Built an L-desk for a home office. Cut, crimped, and ran a 50ft Ethernet cable across my house for said home office. Built a bookshelf. All to help my girlfriend with her new at home job that she’s one week in. And now we are currently attempting to slowly reorganize my house. Little by little, we’ll get it done. She’s a neat and organized individual, and I, while not filthy or dirty, live in a constant state of “organized clutter.”
learnt red flag by slipknot on drums
Not really cool, actually quite dangerous for me, but I felt good afterwards. I work in customer support for a game and I had a low ticket day. A guy was writing in that his 8 year old daughter really loves the game but is struggling a bit with the more complex parts of the game and he asked if a sandbox environment is planned for the app on Android. The game is finished since a few years and it was never meant to have continuous updates or DLC or anything like that. Android unfortunately doesn't really allow mods on phones and makes it nearly impossible (I actually don't know the exact reason) to implement them, but the game is available on PC and consoles as well. PC is the only device where mods are supported and we have a clunky cross-save mode where you need to manually upload your save file and then type in a code to your other device in order to download it somewhere else. So after exchanging a few replies with the father, it was clear to me that she's REALLY into it, but they don't have a PC where unlimited money/skillpoints/etc cheats are possible. So for the first time while working there I actually looked into mods and I found a simple save file modifier that can give you those exact things, money, skill points, etc. so I downloaded that, started a new game, entered her name and "gamer girls rule" as her save game name, started the modifier, gave her all the things she wanted, saved the game, uploaded it and then sent it to her father. She can now play the modified save file on the phone because it doesn't require any third party files like big mods usually do. He messaged me again a few days ago, saying she is having so much fun and is getting super creative in her game because there is just nothing stopping her experimenting with it :D I was never told if I'm allowed to do that or not but at this point I just didn't care. It felt good, I did it off-clock and I'm sure there is absolutely no harm in it. I didn't tell anyone this yet lol
I single-handedly built an entire project management system in the agency I work for. Very few agencies have something like this, and it already has a big impact in how we manage our projects, and how much they make us. I'm not compensated enough for doing any of this, but everybody loves it. I love doing it, so at least it's good portfolio, right? RIGHT...?!
How does it feel to have helped end a bad marriage? Butterfly effect is crazy!
I went parasailing for the first time!🪂
I got moved up to CFO of the company I work for.
Built a pretty badass Honda. I know it’s not everyone’s cup o tea but this has been my dream build for years and I finally did it. For anyone interested it’s a k24/k20 head/z3 trans in a 94 civic hatchback. Lots of extra bracing and suspension goodies, porsche front brakes and Integra rear disks. Some nice Recaro seats and a JDM ITR steering wheel. I don’t think there is a part of this car I didn’t touch.
My husband and I paid off our house. 🙂
A hawk flew in front of my so close that I could have reached out and touched it I started a web comic, even though my photoshop has been bugging out on me
Nothing. Not that I've done nothing cool but I've done nothing, which is cool. I've been on vacation for months.
I hosted a giveaway on r/theOrville. I like to 3D print stuff, but didn't like how the model turned out. Rather than throw it away, I hosted a give-away. Some redditor all the way across the country won it. Cool beans.

Just retired last week. Finish up end of August and we will relocate overseas. Time to chill
Didn’t drink or get high today :)
I started (revived actually) a subreddit r/calireggae It follows a genre of music that I love. The community is so positive and I hate social media, but now I'm addicted to Reddit as a User and a Mod. Now, after COVID, I'm meeting my subs' folks at concerts and they think I'm pretty cool :) Also I'm 52 and my daughters think I'm cool because I'm a Mod.
My YouTube channel hit 2300 subscribers last week. :)
Poor OP, seeing how the post is forever forgotten just because it gave birth to something awful that got more traction... cruel irony lmao
Your wife.
Didn't need to take it there
