30 Days: Day Nine

I know I said I needed a dat to catch up...
but here's nine of thirty!

DAY NINE: WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU ARE PROUD OF?

Me and Jacob were talking about this all weekend.
Well, in a round about way.
As you can tell from my previous posts about self confidence etc I have a hard time being all supportive and proud of myself.
I recognize that I've done something good, but I have a hard time being like
"You know, I'm damn good at what I do..." And etc.

But weirdly, when I read this question, I knew exactly what I was proud of.
I have taken a huge step in my life and I've taken it away from anything familiar, anything comfortable.
When I got on the plane in Portland, Oregon with my one way ticket to New Haven, Connecticut I knew there was no going back.
I always wanted to travel, to move away from home, to be able to say,
"I tried that," "I lived there," "I've seen that!"



Yes, it's been one of the hardest things I've ever done.
But I am proud of the fact that I am working through the hard parts, pushing to make every day better, to make a connection and experience new things, to be uncomfortable and learn from it, to see everything I want to see, to visit the places I've only dreamed of.
I did it, you guys.
I'm making this life what I want it to be.

For that, I am proud.
