Have you ever had anything 'get better'?

I’ve been following the “it gets better project”: http://www.itgetsbetterproject.com/ geared towards LGBTQ youth. I find myself hoping all sorts of people will participate and watch. So, I suppose, this question is part shameless plug.

On the other hand, I find myself thinking about all youth (and even some of us adults) who are living life situations that can feel oppressive at times. It makes me want to hear everybody’s story of experiencing something getting better.

Do you have a story about something in your life that got better?
