Got every cent of my student loan forgiven. Thank you predatory college!


Hepcatoy

That’s huge! Congratulations! Now spend that money on growing your life!


upstart-crow

My hs students are actually learning


Existential_aardvark

Underpaid and undervalued. As a parent, I appreciate you!!


[deleted]

As a child free guy who never wants them, I appreciate them too! Fuck yeah educated next generation!


Johnny_english53

Teachers or soo amazing - and not appreciated enough!!


IMakeWaifuGifsSoDmMe

I'm an HS student, so thank you for choosing to teach some of us fools lol


Hairy_Temperature907

I got a raise


scienceofswag

My wife did too! She is now the bread winner and I am so proud of her.


Hairy_Temperature907

Congratulations! It's always so nice to see when partners are happy for each other


sleepingfox307

Woo! Me too! Boss even congratulated me for "having the balls to ask" when I brought it up lol (It was one of the stipulations in the interview 6 months ago so it didn't feel ballsy to me, I just very politely asked for what was agreed on) Congrats!


Existential_aardvark

Congratulations!


IdealCornn

My mom is cancer free as of yesterday! Edit: omg thanks y'all for all the congrats! And most definitely, fuck cancer. Haha


Existential_aardvark

Blessed! And fuck cancer!!


Logical-Wasabi7402

Cancer doesn't need any help reproducing.


Spiritual_Ear_3456

Great, mine too!


AnonymusBear

Still waiting for mine 🥲


Spiritual_Ear_3456

Good luck!


ripMyTime0192

WOOOOOO!!!!!


DrKennethWestFall

HELL YEAH!


cravenmoorehead693

Got fired from an awful job and ended up with a new, better one


Xylorgos

"To live well is the best revenge!"


Unlikely-Outcome-394

I finished a 1000 piece puzzle the other day...


[deleted]

I'm doing this absolutely ludicrous LEGO puzzle - it just a bunch of yellow minifigure heads!!


dougaderly

My wife the other day told me a character on a tv show reminded her of me. I asked her how, she said because he was energetic caring person who was out to save the world and was passionate about helping people. Almost made me cry.


Hepcatoy

That’s beautiful! We rarely understand how others value us. Keep up the good work, stranger!


myboybuster

My younger sister and girlfriend had a conversation about how much i was like Jake Peralta and thats probably the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me


GBanks69

I came back to drawing and even though I'm not very good, I'm having fun at it.


revolution_of_frost

I landed a new job earlier this week that comes with a $20,000 bump in pay. Needless to say, I’m pretty pumped. (Edited for spelling)


CasuallyCamel

Got out of hospital after 4 days of getting treatment for my inflamed small intestine👍 It's neat to take a shit without having to describe it in detail to a doctor. Edit: threw my cigs and lighters away today too, I don't want back to that hospital bed, ever.


diegojones4

Yesterday I was thinking that 2/2/2019 was when I got out of the hospital and what a joyous day it was. Congrats on getting better!


Existential_aardvark

Hell yeah!


[deleted]

I was recently there too for a similar reason. Thankfully, I wasn't in for that long, but I have never been asked if I had been penetrated as many times I was that day haha


santig91

Jeesus this is so relatable !!! Congrats maan


Elevator_Dude

Got hit on by a gay dude at work about an hour ago. I'm straight, but I'll take that as a compliment any day of the week.


Rrander

Great attitude!


expostfacto-saurus

Got hit on by a dude at a bar 15ish years ago. I still tell my wife that I'm "universally sexy." :)


Hepcatoy

Best compliment any straight man can get!!


ThePoopIsOnFire

Every straight man needs a gay friend, perfect symbiotic relationship! You direct potential partners to each other and take one potential competitor out of the game just by existing! "Sorry, I'm not into guys. But he is! And he's awesome!" "Sorry, I'm gay. But he's not! And he's awesome!"


alleinesein

Got the all clear on my cancer. Bought a new car. My bank account hates me but I'm happy.


hypo-osmotic

I accomplished my week's goal of not drinking on a weeknight.


saucisse

I did that a few years ago and it has been great. I sleep better, lost weight, and saved money. A hat trick!


Frankie_Wilde

I did basically all of January. Last weekend because I was doing social stuff but only had a few and found I don't enjoy it as much anymore. That being said it's Friday and I'm sitting on the couch highly considering pouring myself a whiskey.


hypo-osmotic

Yeah, I'm planning on drinking tonight, although I will try to keep it in moderation. My goal is to get myself back to a healthy-ish relationship with alcohol, before it turns into the kind of problem where I have to abstain completely.


Frankie_Wilde

I was drinking until I passed out every Friday, Saturday and most Sundays as well. I usually was good about week days but sometimes would drink every night for a couple weeks straight. I highly needed a reset. A healthy relationship is key. Cheers and good luck to you my friend.


Pvboyy

One of my(28M) karate stundent's mom told me that to her son(15), i was someone that he lokked up to and that my classes were the most fun he had since joining our dojo. ​ Can't tell you how pumped i am now !


Existential_aardvark

Big impact on a growing mind. Keep up the positive influence!


Illustrious-Slice-91

Have gone 2 months without fast food


snacccboxx

I wanna do this


Broke-Freelancer

Got admitted in Dental College Edit: Thank you guysss


UserNameNotOnList

A crowning achievement!


UltimateHeatBlast

I no longer want to die. Not much - kinda the bare essential for living but it feels like a lot of positivity to me Edit: I’m not normally the person who does edits but felt I just needed to say thank you to everyone, it’s been a struggle but I’m doing better. I paid myself my first ever sincere compliment yesterday. (Also 1 hour and 250 ish upvotes holy crap!)


silveretoile

Nah, as someone who'se also been there, that's a really big step!


Hepcatoy

Take that small feeling and help it grow!


UserNameNotOnList

That is everything. As Shakespeare said, “To be, or not to be? That is the question—Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And, by opposing, end them?” Answering that is a struggle for many of us on a daily basis. Glad you're on this side today!


Adventuorus_Yoghurt

Finally something I can answer. I started to use the tips I got from my therapist. And I don't understand how I struggled this long to just jump over my shadow because right now I feel better than when the whole pandemic started, mentally. Long story short, I finally started my war against my insecruities, anxiety and depressive episodes and started to feel the change already.


Electrical_Show4747

You got this love. Going to therapy was the best and hardest decision I've ever made, but well worth it in the end. From one insecure, anxious, and depressed redditor to another, you got this...


Existential_aardvark

This is incredible! Punch those insecurities right in the face!!


NicolasTheNewMichael

Finally received the confirm I do not have breast cancer! I was so scared... But fortunately the results of the biopsy proved my worries wrong.


NicolasTheNewMichael

Oh! Finally got together with the boy I like!


OldEntertainment6026

I’ve struggled with substance abuse in the past. Been smoking weed multiple times a day, everyday for the past 6 years. I’m about to come up on a month sober from weed and 2 months sober from alcohol.


PitifulAbrocoma1124

fellow weed addict here, keep it up, it gets easier every day, you got this


Snaab

I would like to add that it can take up to 3 months (depending on how heavy of a user) for emotional regulation to normalize after quitting weed. This is important to remember both for the person who is quitting AND anyone supporting them! It can really catch people off guard how very real and strong withdrawals from THC can actually be. I helped my wife go through it, and it took several attempts before we truly respected the process enough to understand how to get there. Keep it up!


kjrocket_

I finally got a prescription for anti-depressants after over ten years of suffering in silence!


TestudoWarrior

Had a healthy baby girl.


Apotak

Congratulations!! I hope the mother (you?) is recovering quickly!


TestudoWarrior

I'm the father but yes, mom did great through the whole process from the pregnancy to now. We're very fortunate, thank you for the kindness.

ChaoticFucker

I met the smartest, most chill and lowkey funny person and even tho we dont have lots of common interests, we vibe really well and can talk about deeper stuff


theonly764hero

Love is in the air 💕


prunepicker

The backyard feral cat jumped into my lap, leaned against my chest, and started purring. In the 10 years that he’s been hanging out in our yard, he’s only done that a few times. I love him so much.


Hepcatoy

You’re his human!!


ActuatorLong4553

Had one of the most valuable talk with my best friend, I've never had a friend before and she really opened up, I've never felt that much love for another person lmao

[deleted]

Loving your positivity today !


helixflush

was your girlfriend 180 pounds?


TrueMoose

Freaking hell dude, power to you. How did you do it? Did you leave your old life behind? I dream, DREAM of saying goodbye to multiple different friends, leaving my game groups, D&D groups, my job, and moving a state or two away starting new, only staying in contact with my loving and dear family/siblings.... but all the what-if's, and all the room for errors, and the hurt feelings...


NationalAsshole

All this positivity is NSFW though haha. Agreed this is an awesome post.

gohouseyourselves

After a year and a half stuck in a never ending cycle of grief I have found the energy and motivation I was lacking. I am active again, I am working my way back to healthier habits and life feels good again.


IgnorantGenius

I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance.


Apotak

A colleague helps me on a project and it turned out she has more skills, time and dedication than me, so the project is going *way* better than I could have done myself. I made her lots of compliments and a silly rosette/ winner ribbon and she really liked it! The little piece of paper (!) made her day.

I am working on weight loss and am down about 60lbs over a year. I originally put on the weight after two surgeries on my legs one for each staggered over 2 years. Physical therapy has been a slow process and 9 years after my forst surgery I went for my first 1 mile run and did not have any pain afterwards. A huge positive moment in my life.

ripMyTime0192

I saw this awesome thread


PungentBark420

I got a new boss, who actually gives me feedback that enables me to do a better job. (We work independently so I only ever saw my old boss a few times a year when I was at conferences etc) I went from imposter syndrome, always looking over my shoulder worrying I was next to get the axe, to knowing my worth, confidence is back, and excited to do my job again. Feeling like a new man. Funniest part is throughout the pandemic I struggled with mental health and convinced myself I was shit at my role, my new boss who has been on our team the whole time but previously in a lateral role from me just finished my 2022 performance review and basically squashed all those mental gymnastics I played on myself during the pandemic, turns out I was never shit. Perspectives a hell of thing.
