I'm Proud of You

I realized today that some things in life aren't all that difficult. It's only a matter of forcing yourself to wake up, kicking off that blanket. Make your bed, clean your room, shower, put on your headphones, and go for a walk. Don't stay indoors for long because it may destroy you somehow. Go out and have some ice cream, and be proud of yourself for getting up.

I'm still proud that you managed to get up and be outside. I'm proud that you made your bed. I'm proud that you washed those dishes. I'm proud that you wrote something in your journal. I'm proud that you read those two lines or paragraphs or even pages of that book you ever bought. I'm proud that you cooked today. I'm proud that you called your mother in such a long time. I'm proud that you reached out for help. Even though you stayed in bed all day and locked yourself in your room, I'm still proud of you.
