Just wondering if anyone has made a decision only to find out it was the worst decision ever, or if you made a seemingly wrong decision and it turned out to be the best decision ever. Could be related to cars or just life in general. I'll start: In high school I did just about every sport; football, track, cross country, powerlifting...sometimes 2 or 3 at a time. At first, I was thinking "this is awesome. I love this sh*t!" I mean I was in amazing physical health (every physical or check up my pulse was 35 or below. The nurse would always have to get the doctor "uhhh is this normal" and the answer would always be yes), I was popular, and I was learning a lot of good life values: teamwork, determination, self worth, confidence, persistence, the value of hard work...sounds great! Well, I've been out of high school since 2015 and, well, I was wrong. After years of hours l9ng football practice, then doing cross country, then playing a game on Friday night then waking up at 5 Saturday morning to run a 5k really took it's toll on my body (I know, poor me. Damn millennial complaining about everything) and when I stopped everything I gained A LOT of weight. Bad weight. I got depressed, I felt that if I wasn't doing sports I wasn't being productive. I injured myself multiple times and never had anything checked out...moral of the story is, everything hurts, all the time...i regret going balls to the wall for so long because I'm paying for it now...at 21! Lol
