Take a bow
Wouldn’t it be nice if everytime you achieved some personal milestone there was applause?
“Today I learnt to overcome my fear and stand up for myself”
APPLAUSE!
“I understand now why I go out with men like that, it was my daddy issues”
Applause!
“From now on I will take responsibility for my actions”
Applause!
“I have been working hard on my issues, and today I feel I’ve come to a point in my life where I can say I’m truly happy and proud to be me”
Standing fucking Ovation!
No one takes this seriously. Everyone is so focused in material milestones that small but ever so important personal ones are forgotten, played down or just deemed “GAY!”.
Go ahead, tell someone who asks you what you did today, “Today I told myself, I love you, and meant it. I’m so happy” and chances are you’ll get looks of “eh? what a sap” or “w-e-i-r-d-o!!”
Working hard at something and knowing deep within you that you deserve whatever it is you’ve worked for is so satisfying. Waking up in the morning and loving each day is exhilirating! And knowing that you’re aware, loved and in the flow of life because you choose to be is priceless.

This brought a warm smile to my face. Personal milestones are so underrated!
Thank you.
