    - not budgeting properly one month, so I had to eat biscuits for 2 days until my next paycheck
    - putting my head through some railings as a child (firefighters came out to rescue me)

    - joining WF, where I would meet my now fiance, @Cave Troll :supersmile:
    - moving to Ireland, where I've met some great people

    3) Changing from my job two jobs ago to my last job - good job shame the boss was a bully

    Best
    1) not jumping off Pistyll Ryhader waterfall
    2) Getting treatment for my depression
    3) Becoming a writer

    Worst,

    1) Sticking my manhood in crazy. Don't do that.

    2) Working in retail. Horror stories.

    3) That crazy night, 2013, Feb 11th.

    Best,

    1) Self study and its relation to the world. So all my studying of "Spiritual mumbo jumbo."

    2) Traversing India as nothing more than a poor seeker.

    3) Asking my future wife out on a date-date instead of staying so focused on myself.

    I'm sure asking for her hand in marriage will be added to this list, but hasn't happened yet, so....

    She was drunk and covered in shit. 'They're all assholes!' she screamed and fell over. This time she banged her head, the blood pooled at our refrigerator. I cradled her head, and she snored now but she was right again.

    They were all assholes and she, she was my asshole forever.

    You have to guess which are good and which are bad...

    "I'm gonna phone that cutie..."

    Rude words to someone.

    "Let's not have contraception!"

    "I'm gonna cut all contacts with her as soon as I can and as totally as I can."

    Hitting break pedal before knowing why.

    "Next time you try to bully me..."

    I was a kid. That bully was 20cm taller and weighted maybe 20kg more than me.

    He stopped active and bullying. He almost tried once, but shut his piehole.

    ...you should read Giovanni Guareshi's Don Camillo series.

    You have to guess which are good and which are bad...CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

    "I'm gonna phone that cutie..." Kom here my cutie, cutie-pie playtime in sauna. GOOD

    Rude words to someone. NOT GOOD, BAD MEMORY IN BLACK & WHITE SEQUENCE, fuck you teacher laboratory, much regret.

    "Let's not have contraception!"THE BEST, GOOD. NO longer wearing plastic bag on my giant log. We have Finland baby! Hurrah/Skof!!

    "I'm gonna cut all contacts with her as soon as I can and as totally as I can." BAD, and now she dead.

    Hitting break pedal before knowing why. GOOD. I save all the train passengers. I meet the president.

    "Next time you try to bully me..."GOOD & BAD, I smash his stupid teeth. All my life that bastard bully. Now has no teeth.

    Made that trip to Italy in the name of love.
    Broke up with the Antichrist.
    Got a cat.

    1. Good. But sauna is for having sauna and löyly, not for cutie-pie playtime. (After sauna... )

    2. Bad.

    3.Good, good and good.

    4. One of the best things in my life and one of the reasons I am alive. Must repeat it with the same person for same reasons.

    5. Good.

    6. Good.

    Worst:
    - Going to UNI without more of a plan of what I wanted to do with my future. If I could have a re-do I'd probably work a year before deciding on what course I was taking.
    - Staying with my ex for as long as I did.
    - Not working up my confidence/sort through my issues earlier. If people I tried to get help from in school took me more seriously than "oh, she's probably a moody teenager" then I might not have as many depression/angst related issues as an adult.

    Best:
    - Buying my apartment. Even being in debt this place is a lot cheaper than renting would be around here. It's a beautiful place and it's 100% home. It's also very likely I'll make a good profit when I sell it.
    - Staying at my old job even though I was miserable. I've quit jobs before because of how bad my angst got, and that's nothing I'm proud of. What I am proud of is staying strong through the bullying of my narcissistic co-worker for almost a year. It proved that I'm stronger than I thought and can work through shit like that.
    - Giving Lost a chance even though I thought (and still sort of think) that dating someone in another country is madness.

    I would like to add another worst (I can't believe it took me this long to think of it):
    -Allowing myself to be coerced into signing a Voluntary Care Agreement form for my eldest daughter, Sienna. I don't think I will ever forgive myself for that, because I knew it was wrong on instinct. I refused to sign it initially, then did it later anyway. :superfrown::cry:
