I am proud of myself because I kept going

yaoimaniac November 27th, 2014

I thought about suicide and wanted to end my life a few times. But I continued to hope that it will get better.
I looked forward to the future, and... I am proud of myself.
I accomplished a lot of things. Small as they are, they are more than enough for me.
I am there today, and I made friends, and I got better, and I am still struggling sometimes, but it's alright.
I realized that I am good enough as I am, that my body image is not everything, and that I shouldn't hate myself.
I stopped having regrets.
I stopped putting others first.
I stopped trying to please everyone.
And this makes me want to love myself more. Because I know I deserve better. Some days are still hard. But everything gets better, in the end.

Never give up. Because there are great things ahead of you. You only have to reach out for them.

I truly admire your strength for overcoming all the struggles that you did. I admire you because you kept going, even when you didn't want to. You're an amazing person. Thank you for sharing because your story truly inspired me. I'm so proud of you.

Thank you very much for your kind words.

I went through a lot of bad phrases, but I am glad, in a way. I learned so much from all those experiences and because of this, I am the person I am today. I wouldn't change anything about my life or about myself.
I want others to know this too, that they will get better and that they can learn from their mistakes.
I am glad I inspired you, it's like another goal accomplished (but I don't think the term it's fit for how I feel).

Please stay safe.
And be as kind to yourself as you were with me.
