Pride Until recently, I assumed that of course everyone has at least one moment in their #life when they can say they have felt proud of themselves. However, it seems not everyone can say that. So firstly, I have to give thanks to the universe that I have been fortunate enough to have lived a #life where I have had many, many moments when I have felt proud of myself. Graduating from University, twice, was a pretty awesome achievement and I was super proud of myself for accomplishing that. I got the degrees and no one can take that away from me. It was hard work, but totally worth it. I can look back on those years and know that I did something really productive with my #life. However, the moment I am most proud of, was when I decided to give up my conventional 9 to 5 #life, quit my stable, steady job and live a #lifestyle that made me truly happy; though that was not conventional, steady, or safe. Was it a scary decision? Of course, but was it worth it? Yes! Beyond words can describe. I did it, I took the leap. I said no to what society demanded of me and I chose to live a #life on my own terms. Yes, some decisions may have resulted in me ending up in prison. But these consequences were totally worth it, to know that I will continue to live the #life I truly want for myself. ##poetsin #pride
