Couple days ago I did a bouldering climb on the first try, pretty proud of that

Today, along with a non-profit I helped found, I organized a local clothing swap.

sucked off a whole boat of cocks one time

I got my company to start using an environmentally sustainable solvent called d-limonene rather than continuing to use petroleum based solvents which were much more toxic.

I went to a women's shelter to go over safety planning with a social worker to leave my ex last week. That was a hard step to take. Wish me luck.

1. Was strong enough to overcome the harsh realities of dealing with heartbreak and depression. It took a lot of nights crying myself to sleep, days fighting with my suicidal thoughts, and my "inner demons" bashing negative comments to myself to finally have a calmer mind.

2. Got my driver's license after after having a panic attack. I passed on the 3rd try, but I had a panic attack on my 1st in public at the DMV and had a total meltdown in front of strangers on the 2nd try because I failed. I was learning how to drive while being heartbroken after being dumped by my ex. So, I was extremely disappointed in myself that I failed the behind the wheel test because I really did give it my all, my best effort to learn while being depressed as shit, but received a failing grade in the end.

3. Learned from my failures. And is now a much wiser person than I was 3 years ago. I grew up because of my break-up and failures. Aka, growing pains. I learned a lot about myself, learned how to heal, how to deal with pain, suffering, and mental health + gained different perspective about life/relationships, gained new friends and is (slightly) happier than I was 2-3 years ago.

I haven't had a single drink since I got pregnant.

Kid is 4 now. I am still sober. I planned on quitting and was cutting it down when TTC, only having some drinks on New Year's. But I had so many relapses in the previous years. I was scared that I wouldn't be able to stay sober throughout pregnancy, let alone motherhood.

It was the easiest thing to not have a drink during pregnancy, and it is still rather easy now. Even in dark, theoretically tempting times, it is so easy to say no. And I am incredibly proud. It is a miracle I made it out alive, let alone happily and free from fucking alcohol.

Safed my partner from homelessness even when we didnt know if we would work living together or how long it will tske them to find a job. Been 3 years and they dont have a job but i love them so much!

I also got out of the right wing extremist pipeline and turned my life around

I'm proud of my apps I've been working on to help me get through life easier with adhd. I put my vision therapy exercises on there as well and just got a nice message the other day about how helpful those were to somebody.

Breaking generational trauma by actually doing therapy and allowing myself to be vulnerable. Shit sucks lol

I'm 6 years sober this month

Learned that I'm valuable for who I am, not what I can do materially.

After being in a band for over 12 years, we finally recorded and released a song.

My first bunny passed away in January. He was the first pet I had as an adult who was strictly my responsibility and no one else’s. A rabbit’s lifespan is typically 8-12 years old. My gray boy lived until he was just a few weeks shy of 13 years old.

I’m proud I took such good care of him and proud he stuck around so long. I still miss my fella a lot, but I’ve used what he taught me to adopt and care for 2 rescue rabbits; one who was dropped at a shelter when she was 3 and another young guy who was found dumped in a parking lot. They are going to be just as spoiled as my grey boy was.

I started lifting weights at age 56. I'm not stopping until I'm dead.

-Always been honest and mostly a positive member for my community. Always opposed evil in the world, real evil that's scary.

-Saved my ex-wifes life and helped her to get off drugs. Didn't judge her and leave her to die. Worked out well, and is maybe one of my most proud achievements. Literally everyone was telling me to leave her but I didn't want my kids to not have a mother.

-Broke generations of truma and child abuse and religious brainwashing and hate, I try to raise my kids to be exceptional and good people.

-Gathered the courage to finally come out as trans a few years ago. Ending a life of depression and self hate. To live a life of happiness and feeling normal and valid.

-Learned real truth and became wise. Spending much of my life researching as a hobby. I attained a real education, something almost non-existent in this world.

-Contributed a bit to cultural, spiritual, and scientific progress in my own way.

-Helped many people, gave a good bit of my income to those less fortunate.

-Had many great friends and family. Learned many skills.

I've replaced everything Google can do with self-hosted services. No more YouTube, Docs, Nest, TV, Photos, etc.

I broke several cycles in my family. I didn't fall back into the cycle of being poor. Nor did I fall back into a cycle of abuse.

I struggle every day with mental grossness, still, but I won't let myself fall down into the same cycles.

I've built like 1/5 of the furniture in my house, which is pretty neat.

I wrote an entire book. The manuscript still needs some editing but for the first time, I've never been closer to having a published book

I rearranged the letters on the after hours sign to After 5 pm Please Dance and nobody ever figured out who did it.

I built a web app for managing wishes: https://wishthis.online/

About 20 years ago, I stopped studying quantum mechanics because it frustrated me so much; I wanted to understand the "quantum regime." After coming back to study more, I've made a lot of progress. I always hated that some said quantum mechanics was weird, or if you think you understand it, you don't. You just need to know there's a difference between seeking ontology of the subatomic, Vs the epistemic adequacy of quantum mechanics. While I'm nowhere near done studying physics overall, I'm still proud of my progress.

I guess I’m proud of the fact that I’ve been taking Microsoft certification exams since 2007 and literally passed each one on the first try. Literally none of my friends / colleagues have done this.

Not sure what that says about the exams, but shrug

Also proud that I took $2,500 in June, invested it in options, got it to $6,400 in September and withdrew the original $2,500. Now I’m working with House money. I did take a $364 loss this week, but I’m still at $5,500. My attitude and perspective have changed. I don’t react emotionally anymore or make revenge trades that end up blowing up in my face even more like I used to.

Back when I was in a band, we played a show at the same venue I've seen some of my favorite bands play (on a Monday, we had basically no audience, but it was still cool). That show more than most is gonna stick with me, it was awesome.

I sat down and through trial and error, and reading. I got a firm grasp on DNS and was able to set a well thought out DNS setup for my homelab.

I revived the ability to keep a specific small engine operable by figuring out what the actual transmission drive belt was for it, instead of the completely wrong belt everyone had been using.

Turns out I was a tooth short on the length, but it was close enough that someone else took it the rest of the way.
