What decision that you made originally seemed insignificant but then turned out to be life-changing? (lemmy.ml)

I did a show at the local theatre when I was 17. First time doing theatre. I had been homeschooled and sheltered my whole life for religious reasons.

Since then I've deconstructed my faith, learned I'm trans, have had sex without getting married gasp, tried drugs, came up with my own values and beliefs, all the usual stuff, and it can all be traced back to that small impulsive choice to do something that intimidated me and try theatre.

I mean, I'm sure I would've got out eventually but I'm happy things happened the way they did.
