I'm a little behind, but I plan on catching up this week.
Week 2 is suppose to be gratitude for your spouse or significant other. As of today, I have neither. I haven't had a spouse in close to a year. The significant other doesn't deserve shit to be said of him.
So what does a girl do when she has neither? Be grateful for herself. Today, I showed incredible strength and courage in myself that I didn't even know I possessed. I stood up for myself for the first time in a significant amount of time.
Now, don't get me wrong, after I stood up for myself, I spend the better part of the entire afternoon crying my ass off. Having your spirit crushed by someone else does that to you. However, I have the strength and fortitude to repair it.
I have the ability to rise up and be a better person, a better version of me than I ever have before. I don't need a man to tell me my worth. I know my worth, I've always known my worth and its damn time I start sticking up for it and demanding NOTHING LESS THAN WHAT I DESERVE!!!
So yeah, today, I'm grateful for myself.
