Hard to say, if there really is any. Because, even if something may look negative/positive at the moment, even that 'small' thing is one of the drops that flow into the rivers we connect with. Life just is, besides, you'll never know for sure how your life would be otherwise.

Well, here's one that ended in a good way.

I'll give you the very, very short version.

I knew this girl from the beginning of 4th grade. We were always good friends and dated twice, the second time ending when we went into high school so whe could date everyone she met (which she did). After she broke up with her 500000000th boyfriend that year, we started talking about starting it up again. A bit later, her father had trouble from a misunderstanding regarding his job and moved to a house farther away, and she was forced to change schools.

That summer, we didn't talk a single time. Well, she tried, but I had used the time to think a bit and I realized all the terrible things that had happened because she was around. My entire 7th grade was spent brooding and being quiet and antisocial, which set me on the path to be that quiet and awkward kid for the next three years, she was completely unreliable and manipulative, she started getting in with the wrong crowds which I probably would've been dragged into, and many other things.

But because she moved, I was free and the quality of my life shot up like a rocket attached to a fighter jet attached to five more fighter jets. All in ways at least partly related.

So it almost ruined my life, but because it didn't, I ended up better than ever.

I went out with one of my best friend's friends, it didn't end well, and now that I'm starting to have feelings for my best friend, she's never want me because of the way I acted with her friend (Hey, I was 15, I didn't know how to be a good boyfriend)

The thing that robably did ruin my life-
When I finish the first and second years of University I didn't bother to look for a summer job because I wanted to chill out from the years of working on the Uni projects at those Uni years.
After I graduated that when the recession hit so it didn't look good that I had no work experiences in the recent years. While it doesn't mean I would of have a summer job but it the fact I could of try that matters.

The thing that could of ruin my life-
I could of went to Liverpool Uni instead of the one I had went. I felt if I did went to Livepool Uni it would of ruin my life because the Uni I went to, I had made some fantastic friends who I can count on. They pretty much awesome people and I felt genuie happy to be around with (all I can say the "friend" back in High school are now my ex due to the fact my Uni mates treat me much better than they ever did to me). I pretty much became a more happier guy knowing that I got good friends.

I almost accidentally killed myself once, bet that would have ruined it.
Are you kidding? You could be like, a ghost or some shit.

OT: Maybe backhanding my one of my teachers? It set off a chain of unpleasant events that went on until high school, and very well may have almost ruined my life.
Dude, I'd be a terrible ghost. Whenever I try and be sneaky, I laugh. I can't help it, I just find stealth hilarious, I guess.

I mean, a giggling ghost? How stupid is that?

I really don't mean to sound like a huge grammar nazi but English isn't your first language is it? And i don't mean that in a sarcastic or snarky tone I swear I just mean it as a question.

OT: When I started getting almost crazy with my girlfriend due to trust issues I ended the relationship because I could tell that it wasn't fair to either of us. Even though she still wanted to stay together despite of what I was doing I made it clear that it was the best decision. Luckily she learned something from that an her most recent boyfriend turned that way too (for terrible reasons might i add) and she broke up with him right quick. If I had stayed with her though my life would be a total bumfuck of crazy and stress.

Well, I'm glad I chose not to stop working with 3D software 6 years ago, when I thought it was really difficult. Now I can make a living out of it! It's awesome to both be able to study something you're interested in, AND making your own hobby into a way to make money.

I almost never told my girlfriend that I was in love with her in fact I had planned not to cause I was scared that she would reject me btw she is two years older than I was. (I was 15 she was 17) Well my friend told her one day when talking to her a few things I said and that more or less ended up with me having to tell her how I felt about her and much to my surprise she felt the same way. I'm just happy that my friend told her otherwise I would have missed out on the best thing to happen to me.
