I’m going through some really awful stuff at the moment, and it’s hard to feel proud of anything when I absolutely despise myself, but these are things I managed to convince myself are okay:
Surviving this. I’m working very hard to get better, I have lots of regrets and getting better isn’t for the reason I want it to be, but I will succeed
I helped start a transgender solidarity network, our first rally was the proudest moment of my life
That time I tried to stop a coal ship from leaving port (it didn’t work but it did do a lot of other important things for the rest of the protest)
I make a really mean creamed cauliflower and I always feel super proud when I get to make it and hear all these strangers say how good it is (it’s the easiest dish in the world, people are just addicted to salt)
Damn those are fine reasons to be proud! We all despise ourselves, I sure know I do, because we see the inside of our heads. But we also have to look beyond that. You seem like a good person; I hope you get through your struggles soon.

Thanks, I appreciate that a lot ❤️
