[artmageddon]

1). Marrying my wife

2). Sticking it out in CS undergrad when I was having a hard time with the material instead of dropping out

3). Leaving shitty jobs(though I could've left sooner at each instance) for greener pastures

4). Instead of resorting to drugs or alcohol to deal with bad times and loneliness in my life, turning to running instead and running the Marathon des Sables(and unrelatedly but subsequently finishing my pilot's license) which made me believe in myself
