Tell Me About A Decision That In Hindsight Was 100% Right

Life is full of uncertainties, but every now and again you get to look back at a decision in your life and go, "Yeah, I 100% made the right choice."

I'm asking the BuzzFeed Community: "When was a time when you dodged a major bullet?"

Maybe you had to cancel last minute for a first date, only to have that person get angry and blow up your phone so badly that you had to block them and thank the universe that you never met them in person.

Or maybe you were offered a job that seemed a little too good to be true, and after you decided to pass it up you figured out that it was actually an MLM scheme?

Maybe you finally decided that it was time to cut off a bad friend or family member, and mutual people in your life kept saying that you were being too harsh until that same friend turned around a screwed them over twice as hard?

Or maybe you got left at the altar, and thought that it was the worst day of your life, but now you look at it as a blessing in disguise after realizing what an awful person you were planning to marry?

Whatever it is, tell us below in the comments — or use this anonymous form — and your response could be featured in an upcoming BuzzFeed post!
