Day 02 → Something you love about yourself.

It was much harder to think of something that I love about myself than it should be. I can think of lots of things I dislike/hate about myself but love is harder.

One of the things that I love about myself is my strength. I've been through a lot in my life. I'm so thankful that my mom raised me to be a strong person so I could get through everything I've been through.
My strength got me through one of the hardest things I've been through. Leaving my incredibly dysfunctional, toxic, abusive marriage. At the point I left, I was at a very low point. My self-esteem was on the floor. Somehow I was dragging myself from day to day. I couldn't see past the day I was in. What got me through it was my strength. I was determined that I deserved something better than what I was getting. Although, I didn't really believe it, at the time. During that period, I realized how strong I actually am. It's one thing I'm most proud of about myself.

To show the world my strength, I had the word "Strength" tattooed on the inside of my left wrist. It's one of the most meaningful of the tattoos that I do have.
