Self-Appreciation

"I hope you appreciate yourself for how far you’ve come and everything you have planned, if no one’s told you yet"

So, I want to thank myself for being this far. 

Thank you for not giving up.

Thank you for feeling content with who you are.

Thank you for understanding that you no longer have to seek external validation.

Because you should only prove one person: yourself.

2023 is the moment that I have been living my best life.

I grew up.

I have friends.

I have new skills.

I have time to recognise my strengths.

I have a chance to read.

I cried a lot but laughed more.

I am surrounded by fantastic support systems.

Thank you. 

And, with the permission of Allah, I could graduate from this amazing place.

Once again, thank you.
