i’m grateful for myself via /r/gratitude

i’m grateful for myself. i remember in the past, i indulged and drowned in the hatred i had for myself. i never liked who i was, what my face looked like, even my name. i surrounded myself with bad people, people who didn’t accept me for who i was and struggled so much, for so many years.

but now, things have changed. i’m grateful for therapy, family, and my new friends and a good support system. i will always be grateful for those but i am at most grateful for me, for willing to change my bad habits. i decided to help myself this time and to not dwell on my negative characteristics. although, therapy helped of course, i’m grateful it was me who took charge on making my life a better place. i’m grateful i will be able to see another tomorrow.
