Have you ever encountered a situation that would fit into the catagory of a "blessing in diguise?"

Titania · 07-27-2002, 06:10 PM

hmm- I guess I could classify a few things in my life as "blessings in disguise"

in the 8th grade me and my BEST friend of like...6 years...got in a huge disagreement which because everything w/ us turned into a battle of wills we ended up vowing never to speak to each other again. Bad, right?
The next year we started high school- still ignoring each other- and i met a group of the best friends ive ever had and was really able to be myself. If I had still been friends w/ her I doubt I would have hung out w/ new people and become who i am (or hope i am) today.

I have a physical disability that turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

That my grandmother died. I know it sounds horrible, but if she stayed here, she'd be suffering like hell. She'd never walk, talk, or even move again. I was sad, yet rejoyced when she died. That way she wouldn't be suffering anymore

Wow, same here except that I moved and never spoke to my best friend again. If I kept in contact with him, I doubt that I would be where I am todaytoo. We like planned what we were gonna do in the future, but I moved, it all blew out the window. But I odn't really care. I have more friends now and am way more outgoing than before.

There was a time when I wouldnt talk at all because my best friend was so overbearing. She critisized everything that I did, and made me very self-conscious. When we got in the fight that ruined our friendship, I was devastated. But now I see what she did to me, and I'm really glad that we're not the closest of friends right now!

You must know original & revival casts, soundtracks, performance runs, dates, theatres, numbers, how many Tony Awards A Chorus Line won. You must be Broadway. That's right bitches. I AM Broadway.
