be proud of myself

Last night, I was browsing through old photos and came across my mum’s old photos. I told her that I couldn’t understand why people say that we’re alike. Even my brother can’t see the similarity. Then she said that she thinks she is more beautiful when she was younger. I look more like my dad’s side and so more ugly. In the past, i would have felt sad. But, last night, I told her that I don’t think so, her cheeks were too chubby and besides, my cousin looked the best. Sometimes, I really think that parents who pride themselves too much for being beautiful can really hurt their children self-esteem as they feel ashamed that their children are “not as beautiful as them”.
Anyway, just glad that I no longer accept her remarks as facts :)

Really proud of myself when I finally pulled together and managed to single-handedly manage an overnight youth event. It wasn’t the best time as I was already tired from the continuous late nights and lack of time to even eat following a string of events at work and in my personal life. So many things to do and to think about but am really glad to say that I have finally stepped out of my comfort zone and tried something new :)

It’s hard to be true to myself and show people who I really am..I find that I always worry that people would reject me if they see the real me..I want to learn to be proud of myself .. of who I really am..so what if my spiritual belief is different..as long as I am a better person because of it.. there’s nothing bad about it. Just because being bad is an in-thing does not mean that I have to follow or be affected. Let me be proud of myself and work towards being a better person who is not afraid of being honest with others and myself.
