I very literally survived the baby years of my son without killing myself or him, and now I’m still here. And that also means that I get to see the cool little boy that he’s become, and that I get to tell me I helped make due to my efforts.
I learned to whistle with fingers in mouth, which makes a) for a very loud whistle and b) me fell unreasonably proud and manly.
I managed to buy a pretty run down house with my wife and we’ve rebuilt a huge part of it, so it can be a home for our family. I’ve leaned a shitton of things that I never thought I could do, and some that I never wanted to learn. And it have me a great excuse to buy all kinds of tools that I’ve always wanted but never needed. Like, I even own an old-timey scythe and 2 axes. \o/
I was recently voted staff council member (which, yeah, k), and after that, several colleages, some of which I barely know, came up to me to tell me they were glass I made or, because they liked my style of working.
I managed to raise a puppy without having him starve to death because I was an unresponsively piece of shit, and I was rewarded with my soul dog and just a very, very good girl in general.
I was able to make some modernizing changes in IT at work, and that’s even though I’m in public service, where things move with the swiftness of tar.
I recently was able to set a border with someone on something I didn’t want to do anymore. It was a small thing, but felt big for me.
I recently passed my chainsaws license, so now I’m allowed to fell trees in public woods. Again, totally unreasonably proud and manly.
I can back up my little trailer almost all the way into or long and narrow driveway. Not all the way yet, but someday.
Thank you for asking, that was actually a wonderful way to start my morning to early. :-D You can be proud for instilling that feeling in people, or at the very least in me.
What about you, @TehBamski, what else are you proud of?
Great diatribe.
Seems like that’s how it should be. Humans aren’t weak. We’re fucking amazingly strong… And you’re proving it. Every bullet point, I was like “Yup.”
Im proud. You should get more verification, but sounds like you’re too busy dealing with the shit. Good on ya. You’re amazing. Id like to know how it turns out.
See you at the finish line.
