What are you most proud of in your life?
It’s a tough one isn’t it? Everyone has something they like and something they hate about themselves and their perception is correct.
I’ve been told by people that they admire my confidence or the fact that I’m calm under pressure. People from the outside have an idea of a happy life that I’m apparently living.
The truth is my life’s a mess. I’ve struggled and continue to do so every single day even with problems that weren’t my creation. I’ve got health issues, relationship problems, problems with family, at college and generally everywhere around me. I’m basically a trouble magnet. And yet still I’m surfing somehow.
No actually, I’m thriving. And when I look back to the road that got me here, it seems crazy that I’ve ven made it this far. No one gave me anything, most didn’t even believe in me. So if you ask, what I’m proud of most in me or in my life then I gotta say I’m proud of the choices I made and the fact that they were mine and not somebody else’s. I took my decisions, I decided my turns and the ways to get over the roadblocks and I didn’t become vicious or bitter at them. My choices are what got me here, and I hope that I continue to make them as I’ve done so far- on my own terms.
