Things I need to give myself credit for
Sometimes you need to pat yourself on the back and give yourself credit for shit. I am a person who can be hard on myself because I am always striving for better, but it’s time to think about all the good shit I do on a regular basis and the challenges I overcome.
I’ve had 2 crappy job interviews with companies that I don’t want to touch, but I have to give myself credit for even getting those interviews although they’ve wasted my time. I have another 2 this afternoon so I am the interview God. I wish I was the God of getting opportunities at good companies.
I am nearly 30 and when I look back at my 20s I’ve done a lot. It might not seem like a lot to some, but it’s taught me so much about life and myself that I am going into my 30s with completely different aims than I started my 20s.
I am a different person and I want to continue to grow so I can eventually die one day and not be remembered by many. Being remembered really doesn’t matter, that’s not why you should do the shit that you’re doing.
I’ve escaped many shit locations
I’ve escaped my home town twice, I’ve escaped Manchester, and I’ve escaped Gloucestershire. All of these places are shitholes that shouldn’t exist. I could have let these places eat me up and kill me, but I decided to leave.
