How I did it

How to collect 100 cheers for escaping Domestic Violence at the hands of my husband in a foreign country with my son with absolutely zero support

It took me

15 days

It made me

Appreciate myself

How I did it: I was going through a low phase and needed to cheer myself up. I thought what better way to pat myself for escaping Dv by cloecting cheers and spreading awareness. Even though I have not collected 100 cheers, my purpose of making myself see the courage I have was worth it, and I consider this done. Further I dont want to be continued labeled by my past. I want to grow beyond this. Thanks SlayneB Read how I did it…

Learn without making mistakes

Wont it be wonderful... 4 months ago

if we all learnt from other’s mistakes. We would make so few mistakes and would have avoided so much misery to ourself and others. I know we learn and live. But seriously I see people around me who make sound fact based decisions. My decisions are mostly emotion based, and hence dont turn out to be the best in the long term.
