What’s a decision you were skeptical of at the time but turned out to be the right call? I’ve learned that some of the best decisions only make sense in hindsight.

This doesn't really answer your question, but it did remind me of something. Some decisions are very easy to make. There's overwhelming data to support one choice over another. But sometimes you have to choose between options that seem equally suitable. This is what I've come to realize. The harder it is to choose between equally good options, the less important the actual choice is. If all the options are equally beneficial, then you'll benefit equally, no matter which one you choose. I guess the hardest choices really should be the easiest.

One of my best friends growing up just passed away. We lost contact with each other a year or two after graduating high school and I recently came to learn he was was battling cancer the past 5 years and ultimately succumbed to the illness. He hid it well from everyone and led a very private life during it all. To make matters worse, he had just turned 25. Seeing pictures of the condition he was in towards the end of his fight broke my heart. I wish I had known so I could’ve been there for him.
