Hard days like this make it hard to focus on the good.
It's been a point of mine to focus on the good. The great in my life. The best things. Because the bad things don't really matter.
Here's a list of the great things about my life
⁃ I am 20 and I have almost completed my bachelors degree
⁃ I've never been tied down in a relationship/never been heart broken
⁃ I am extremely independent
⁃ I will be living out my dream as a journalist soon
⁃ I am so capable
⁃ I am healthy
⁃ I love myself
⁃ I have a loving and supportive mother
⁃ I have the best brother ever
⁃ I have the best friends ever (you know who you are!)
⁃ I have a beautiful car
⁃ I have a house to sleep in and food to eat
⁃ I am literate and I have access to read and learn
⁃ I am free/I have a lot of freedom
⁃ I am a empathetic and caring person to people who don't always deserve it
⁃ I am able to make choices on my own
⁃ I can eat candy and not hate myself (unlike in the past)
⁃ I get to experience Portland every week
⁃ I have access to mental health help
⁃ I am not weak. I am strong. I am resilient.
