@matildadjerf ⚡️// “You should be proud of yourself for doing everything you can to survive. Whether it’s waking up in the morning determined to get through another challenge, another struggle or another bad day. You should be proud of the way you make ends meet; whether you’re driven to motivate yourself in your humdrum job or whether you’re hustling different jobs to make sure you pay your bills every month. You should be proud of yourself for surviving the big things, for overcoming the big obstacles but you should also celebrate the little wins because you would be surprised how the little things can throw you off balance and knock you out when you don’t deal with them right away. You should be proud of yourself for trying, for growing, for evolving when it’s easier to stay in your bubble or your comfort zone or your shelter. You should be proud of yourself for not giving up on life even if it keeps getting harder or more challenging and you should be proud of yourself for not giving up on you because if you can always fight for your survival, then you’ll overcome anything and if you can always find a way to leave behind your past or your mistakes or your wrongdoings without letting them define you then you’ll be able to mend your broken pieces time and time again. You should be proud of yourself because sometimes you won’t find the support you need, you won’t find those who love you the way you want to be loved, you won’t find those who appreciate your efforts or how far you’ve come and you won’t find those who will acknowledge the battles you fight to make it through another day and that’s why sometimes you have to be that person for yourself and learn the art of survival — all alone.” - @ranianaim #trendycatalogue
