Grateful that I stood my ground via /r/gratitude

I'm grateful I found the cohones to stand my ground. My voice was shaking at times, but I went there and said it all, the lies, the deceit, the corruption. I spoke clear and loudly my truth. It's not easy and it's not like the seas are parting for me now. Is the contrary, I will be hated and gossiped about. I'm grateful that I have the strength now to take it.
