The List

I don't know about anyone else, but sometimes I have shit days. Everything sucks. I feel fat, ugly, tired and I sit there and mentally put myself down.

A few months ago, I decided to write a list of all the things I was proud of achieving in my life. Now whenever I am having a horrible day, I read this list to myself and I remember I'm (probably) not the fuck up I think I am...

I think everyone should write a list like this. I can't be bothered getting out of bed to get mine from my computer desk, so I'll tell you a few...

I am proud of:

• Not having a criminal record
• Breastfeeding both of my kids past 2 years old
• Giving birth to both of my children drug free
• Giving birth to Roman at home
• Getting my drivers licence only 10 days later than legally possible
• Never losing a point off my licence
• Finishing year 12 while pregnant and parenting
• Getting accepted into uni
• Knowing how to say "I love the penis" in 5 different languages
• Living in the same house for over 3 years
• Cutting my mother out of my life
• Having true friends
• Living in another country
• Having nice furniture
• Buying myself my car outright
• Being a moral, kind, funny, confident person

Seriously, write yourself a list. It helps on those shit days...
