I spoke in Japanese to an audience of around 100 people at the Japanese embassy last year. That was probably the best moment in my entire life. I'm so proud I managed to do that, to be honest. As if speaking in a different language wasn't daunting enough, I'm bad at public speaking so... ! ^^ But yeah. I did it. So I'm proud of myself.
I also consider myself to be a very hard working, determined, and loyal person, which I'd say are very positive attributes!
Well, I didn't pick username for just any reason. lol
I'm quite proud of my taste in instruments. Although, don't think that was so simple. There are only a few types of wind instruments in a standard Wind Ensemble that I haven't played or wanted to play. Lol. I mean literally... Three. The low brass. (But don't worry, I love them all the same, just not for me to play).
I'm proud of myself for not getting into alcohol or drugs. I was open-minded to alcohol at first, but it disappointed, and I realized that it absolutely wasn't a taste worth acquiring.
I'm proud (read all of this before you hate me xD) of dropping my religion and belief in God. Understand that I'm not saying that from any standpoint of it making me feel superior to religious people/theists. It truthfully isn't anything like that. It's about me, it's about being honest to myself. It's about me experiencing some of my worst nightmares and running to hide behind the idea of God/an afterlife that I had been taught so hard to believe in since I was really young. It's complicated and hard to really express without telling the whole story, but me being able to snap out of it was quite a big feat for me. And I'm still here, too... That's another feat.
I'm proud of lots of things
I'm proud of being good at drawing, and playing the piano. I also think I'm really pretty. I'm smart. Of course no one thinks I'm intelligent because I cba to type with perfect grammar which is pretty dumb. Then we have the people who think if someone is talented in some way, then it's not true.
Im proud of memorizing a thousand digits of pi in a week and a half during the school year, and winning the contest. I'm proud of roasting this totally mysoginistic kid. He got so mad. I'm proud of my personality. I like the way I act, it's better than a lot of adults. Some of them are so petty. I'm proud that I speak multiple languages. I'm proud of the good reputation I've established in school. There's probably more but I'm tired af so that's it for now
Proud I've never gotten detention despite all the food I've thrown in class and genitals I've drawn on my friend's notes.. other than that, I'm proud of my drawing skills
I'm proud of how optimistic and caring I stay for people around me despite being Sh** on a lot by others....
also for still putting myself out there professionally after I had several failures during my senior year of college, but rebounding the past two years and now applying for grad school and I got interviews! I find out if I got in two weeks! but I don't know how I will cope if I don't get in.....
I'm proud of my personality/attitude towards things. My determination & hard work has done me good in school, I'm fairly proud of my grades and everything I've taught myself outside of school.
I'm extremely proud of my handwriting; worked on it for 6 months and it's finally nice (in my opinion).
i'm pretty proud of my relationship. yes it has its ups and downs (what relationship doesn't, though, honestly) but for the most part it's been pretty good, and i feel very blessed to have found someone that loves me as much as they do and vice versa, plus it's the longest one i've ever been in (going on five years now).
I'm proud of how far I've come in terms of confidence. I have lost friends due to my low self esteem. I was difficult to be around and constantly brought others down to the point where they'd rather not be around me. Losing those friends to this day still breaks my heart. Sometimes I think life just isn't worth it and it'd be better if I just left. But I am still here, with a family that loves me, and I find additional happiness in drawing silly comics to cheer myself up.
For years, the thought of showing my art online or even talking to people gave me anxiety to the point where I just did nothing, fearing everyone would just.. well, hate me and my art. Now I have the courage to post things online (though untagged.. one step at a time I guess ^^).
Before I can love others, I have to love myself first. There's still so much life has to offer and I'm not going to give up yet.
