I Am Proud



I am so proud that I found the strength and courage seven years ago to finish my law degree and become a lawyer. I recognise the monumental challenge that was and I am proud of myself.

I am so proud that I travelled the world singlehandedly, to gather as much wisdom about the world as possible. I recognise the huge challenge this was, time and time again, and I am proud of myself.

I am so proud that I was brave enough to move over to Asia, alone, to experience life in the Far East. I recognise what a challenge this is for a single female professional, and I am proud of myself for having accomplished it.

I am so proud that I was able to rise from the adversity of a spinal injury and continue on in a foreign country, without having my family and friends around me. I recognise that this was an incredible feat and I am so proud of myself for it.

I am so proud of myself for being able to maintain a close relationship with my family, including my wonderful mother and father, and my amazing sister. I realise that it is could have been easy to have shut them out, but I am proud of myself to maintaining such a good relationship with them.

I am so proud of myself for having maintained a long distance relationship for the last nine months. I realise that I continue to face this difficult situation, but I am so proud of myself (and M) for having maintained the mutual respect and understanding for each other.
