That's such a good read! it really resonates with me cause I've been trying to do things for me and make my own decisions but I don't take enough time to be proud of myself for growing up and taking on more responsibilities. thank you!
I enjoyed this reading a lot, it was refreshing as someone who recently realized that there things I was just doing essentially for others more than for me to be proud. This piece reminded me of this one Kdrama about mental health issues where the main character realizes a lot of the time she did things for others to be happy, so much so that she forgot about herself in the face of this she starts congratulating herself on the little things she’s happy and proud she did. It’s a little harder than I thought to practice this but it’s nice, I’m currently proud of having learned to do a kick-up and proud that I’ve kept writing in English (cuz it’s not my first language).
Love this piece 🩷 admitting you are proud of yourself for something, I believe, is a beautiful form of self love and (non-physical) self care. Saying out loud "I am proud of myself" can give ourselves so much more confidence to propell into the things we truly want in life. Its a form of self validation which we all need because in the end, it's our inner critic thats the harshest 🌸
I so agree @Elise, and thanks so much for reading! I didn’t want to sound preachy - I just genuinely believe that admitting when you’re happy and proud is a really cathartic thing that we should all be doing every now and then ✨
Well this just slapped me in the face. But it was a slap I needed. I very recently started writing poetry but I kept telling everyone I shared it with (and myself mostly) that I’m not a writer and writing is not my thing because it really isn’t but I only say that because my closest friends all write in some way or other and I’m just a reader. So calling myself a writer like them makes me feel like I’m trying to take something away from them because writing truly is something they’re so passionate about. But that ends now. So I very recently started writing poems and I am proud of myself.
Thanks so much for reading Munraj - it means so much ✨ and totally agree, let all the self-doubt end now because you’ve got to advocate for who you are and what you’re doing!
