I am not ashamed
Posted: Thu May 26, 2016 5:45 pmI saw this on another website, I figured it would be nice to bring it here. I found it very inspiring.
Just share some things about yourself that you are proud of. They don't have to be very serious, it can be something like "I am not ashamed that I prefer vanilla ice cream over chocolate".
Here are mine.
I am not ashamed to be different from others. Some call it "strange", others call it "unique". Say what you want - everyone is different.
I am not ashamed that I've made some mistakes. Everyone has, and I'm learning. Sometimes I have to do something more than once to get it through my head, but eventually, it will make me better than I ever was.
I am not ashamed of my gender identity, I am not ashamed of my sexuality. Nothing that you can say will change this. I am what I am, I love who I love. Accept it, or stay out of my life.
I am not ashamed of my beliefs. Others may disagree with the things that I have faith in, and that is okay. I will not change to fit others' standards.
I am not ashamed of my personality. I will be me, you can be you. We have no need to try to change others, we can only change ourselves.
I am not ashamed of the ones I call friends. These are the people who have helped me, who have stood by me. I am proud to have met them, and lucky. I do not deserve their kindness, yet they continue to show it. I could never find better people to spend my time with.
I am not ashamed to still be here. Things are hard, and depression is a vicious fight. I've almost lost several times, I've thought of giving up. I am not ashamed of my decision to keep fighting. I will not allow things that are beyond my control to get to me.
