I gave a gratitude journalling app and I wanted to share the prompt for today and my response.
What challenges are you grateful for?
The challenges that addiction and traumatic events put me through. Because in a weird way I don't think I would've grown up without those struggles and challenges. I truly believe that I needed to go through all of the things that I did to learn who, where and what I'm meant to be. Don't take that as me regretting and despising my actions and hating that I went through certain events. But I'm grateful for the fact that I can finally start healing and no longer being a victim or a doormat. The challenges I faced forced me to learn who I am and who I want to be. These challenges are life lessons and proof of my greatest defects and are the reason I'm working so hard to mend the broken pieces into a whole new work of art.
Sincerely, Rin
