...I haven't SI-ed or restricted.

I'm retroactively proud of myself for yesterday when I PM'ed a moderator on another forum about a person whose posts were bothering me and making me feel unsafe. :redstar:

Just a quick note to say..
on page 1 i noticed that someone had the idea of congratulating the person above u before saying why u were proud..
and i thought that was a really neat idea..
it seems to have died out tho..

*decides to do her bit towards starting it up again*

well done for believing in yourself Dorky :thup:

Good job. :osmile:

I'm proud of myself because I've been happy all day.
You can have peace or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once.
There's a drive in me that won't allow me to do certain things that are easy.
This was freedom. Losing all hope was freedom.
I just don't want to die without a few scars.
One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can't utter.
War does not determine who is right, only who is left.
You've got to burn me. Make me bleed. Turn my pain into fantasy. And if I scream it's only just, love can hurt much more than lust.

Well done capricorn :)

I'm proud of myself today because....
  • ..I didn't cut despite being urgey for a good couple hours, and it would have been over something silly and I didn't give in despite the tears and emotional wreck that I was feeling like at the time.
