List of Gratitude

For my now-self, Thank you. Thank you for holding on this far. Thank you for being strong. Thank you, for keep living and never giving up. I know there are hard times when you're on your edge and nearly give up, but you choose to not. I know there are moments when you feel so alone and want to disappear, but you hold yourself back. I know there are moments you're back-stabbed and thinking to turn your heart off, but you choose to give love another chances, again and again. And now, thinking of those hardships, I'm proud of where I'm standing now. I'm grateful of my control freak mom, I know how I want to raise my children and how to not hurting them. I'm grateful for my cheating father, I know how I want to be loved and a man that I exactly want. I'm grateful for my then-bestfriends, I know how to let things go. I'm grateful for my past, I know what future I want to be in. I'm grateful for my former abusive boyfriend, that from him I learn to forgive. I'm grateful for being a rape survivor, so I know how to be more careful.I'm grateful for having a borderline personality disorder, so it led me to God and made me know Him more. I'm grateful for the days I wish I was dead. I'm grateful for the days I harmed myself. I'm grateful for the days I shut everybody down. I'm grateful for all my failures. For all of that making me who I am today; a strong, independent, and courageous woman. And finally, I'm able to smile at my reflection in the mirror. After a long journey of my self hate, I'm able to love myself more than I ever did before. 2020 has been a roller coaster, indeed. I struggled with lost, I struggled with disappointments, resentments, too many ups and downs, too many doubts. But I'm ready to leave it all behind and start the new page of mine. I'm not going to let the negative side of mine dominates me, no more. I'm not going to let my mind limits my live. I will rock the 2021 well and show them that I'm capable to rise up.
