I’m grateful that I survived…. No, scratch that – I strived via /r/gratitude

I’m no victim, Ive been through some shit, but I’m not a victim. It took me a long time to lose that mindset but I have arrived. I love myself. I used to believe that was a bad thing, for one to love themselves. I felt like it made me a conceited person but now I recognize the difference. I’ve faced adversity and pulled myself out of it on my own. I was drowning and instead of swimming to the surface for air I evolved and grew gills in order to breathe.
