Grateful for my love for me via /r/gratitude

I ended up feeling very sad for the most part of today, but I’m grateful that I managed to pick myself up with the help of an online friend and also with my own strength and resilience.

Later in the day…

I’m grateful I did my best to get a set of Labubus online for the first time, it took me about 30 minutes because they wouldn’t let me login. They kept saying my login was failing and that my username didn’t exist and when I tried other ways to login using Google and Apple, it would fail multiple times. Finally I was able to login and add the items to my cart and even then it wouldn’t let me purchase it because there was too much traffic on their website. After many refreshes and constant rejections, I was able to finally secure an entire set of Labubu dolls today.

Last night I was looking for this exact set and was about to meet somebody in person to purchase it for four times the price because I wanted the entire set. This person seemed kind, but he ended up wanting a down-payment, and I refused to do it because I never met this person before and I don’t like getting scammed.

He ended up cutting me out when I said no to the down payment – because I wanted to confirm the authenticity of the dolls in-person first before sending my money to a stranger. I kept my boundaries in check and even though I was sad that it didn’t work out, I found out soon after that there would be a drop happening today at 10 PM Eastern time. What a coincidence!

I definitely tried my luck today and it paid off at the very last second – when I went back to add another box to my purchase, it was already all sold out, so I definitely got this set at the very last second for four times less than what I would’ve paid someone else a day earlier.

Moral of the story is to never give up on what you want for your life even if it means you say no to something today – tomorrow you may get something equally or exponentially better!

I know this is not really the most important thing to be grateful for, but I’m using this experience today to encourage myself to be better for my life.

I started this gratitude practice with the most important piece first because with help I was able to do more for my life later on and I’m really grateful that people are here to help me when I’m going through a hard time. Thank you for reading
