Your favourite accomplishment of the decade?

Infernum

The 2010s is drawing to a close and surely life has taken us on some interesting and bizarre journeys over the past nine/almost ten years.

What has been your favourite or most meaningful accomplishment of the whole decade? What are you hoping to achieve in the 2020s?

For me, it was gaining control of my life and my health issues after a strange series of coincidental experiences.

Finally finished 3rd Level and stopped drinking. Both things that I should have done a decade ago. Better late than never eh.

Flew a drone, got it registered with Irish Aviation Authority.

The 10s will be remembered fondly if through weary eyes. In this decade I managed to:

Get my first full time job in my career
Had 3 kids
Passed driving test
Got married
Will have completed a masters (with approx 20 days to spare )

And yet I can't help thinking my greatest achievement will be the time I won a pizza eating competition sponsored by my workplace against a girl half my size. Great times

I threw a perfect game in Wii Bowling.

Purchased a house abroad for personal use
Got married
Purchased a bigger house in a nicer location
Got a dream job

Polar opposite of the Noughties when i was on somewhat of a slippery slope

I finished college and got a degree (which ultimately led to nothing).

So I would say finishing 8th in the world and 1st in Ireland in Gameweek 4 of Champions League Fantasy football would be my highlight.

I tip my hat to you on your pizza eating achievement.

My greatest achievement, I have a mean looking tank full of tropical fish and I survived sepsis.

Sorry about that

Thanks for reminding me, #blessed.

An incredibly tumultous decade for me.

Started it having to walk away from a great job due to workplace bullying, serious mental health problems, resorting to alcohol to cope and then becoming alcohol dependent, struggling badly, continuing to work part time, eventually giving work up altogether due to anxiety and alcoholism, ending up in hospital very ill, losing my father to terminal cancer, my sister having a massive stroke, my long term relationship falling apart - hospitalisation, numerous stints in rehabs, recovery groups, AA, doing the 12 steps with my sponsor, finally turing a corner, back to part time work, getting into art, ceramics and creative writing, rebuilding my life and career, a new relationship and firmly on the road to recovery.

I just hope the 2020s bring continued recovery, peace of mind, happiness and aren't in any way as dramatic as the 2010s, a decade I will frankly be glad to see the back of.

You know what they say - what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. And I am pretty sure after all I've been through the past 10 years, I am a survivor.

Great to see Ireland become a lot more progressive.

Gay marriage legalised and we finally got our abortion laws sorted.

Considering we were in the teeth of a recession 10 years ago we have all done remarkably well and made some great achievements in the last ten years.

Well done everybody, congratulations.

Ok without being a dick its a great thing but its Hardly an achievement ?

Someone else done all the work and then picked you to have a title ?
You literally had to do nothing

It places a degree of responsibility on him, so it still counts.

I’ve had a terrible decade but with one great high point: meeting my husband in 2011. I’m so glad I got one thing very right.

I’m also glad I didn’t die without seeing abortion legalised. I never thought I would see that happen.

Moved across the world completely alone and made a success of my time there.

Came home and built a life for myself, despite getting a life changing diagnosis shortly after my return.

Managing to learn what makes me happy and what's worth my time.
