pureleeawesome Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Getting to today. Kinda lame but I'm really proud of myself for making it through all the ups and downs in my life to get to where I am today. I am by no means perfect and I've definitely got far to go but I could also be much further behind than I am. 9 Quote Level 1 Adventurer Quest for Adventure Took the road less traveled. Now lost.

Kinda lame but I'm really proud of myself for making it through all the ups and downs in my life to get to where I am today. I am by no means perfect and I've definitely got far to go but I could also be much further behind than I am.I gotta say mine is pretty similar. I just took a deep breath and thought about how grateful I am to be who I am and where I am today. 1 Quote Current Challenge "By the Most-Righteous-and-Blessed Beard of Sir Tanktimus the Encourager!" - Jarl Rurik Harrgath Link to comment
Aena Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Surviving. I experienced an extreme trauma three years ago. It took me until now but I've made it through the flashbacks and the darkness that followed and now I'm finally me again; happy, optimistic, excitable me! So it might sound a bit lame but that will always be one of the things I'm proudest of: surviving the storm. 4 Quote Level 2 Elfin Water Bender :: STR 0 | DEX 0 | STA 0 | CON 3 | WIS 2 | CHA 1 :: "Remember, your mind is the best weapon you have" ~ Farengar Secret-Fire Link to comment

That's great. For me the big transition in which I leaped back into my real self was when I decided that I wasn't a victim. I am not a victim. I am a survivor. And that means that I'm strong. In doing that I broke out of the cycle of feeling weak, vulnerable and effected and began to see how I survived it and thus what happened didn't break me - it made me stronger, in the long run. 3 Quote Level 2 Elfin Water Bender :: STR 0 | DEX 0 | STA 0 | CON 3 | WIS 2 | CHA 1 :: "Remember, your mind is the best weapon you have" ~ Farengar Secret-Fire Link to comment

Hopewalker Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Mine is simply being here. Being a survivor also, Fall down, get up, repeat. I finally learned that I am not helpless or useless, I began focusing on what I do have and what works for me and to take Frost's words "That has made all the difference". 3 Quote "Life shrinks or expands in proportion to ones courage" Link to comment

Polaris Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 I would also have to say surviving and still being alive. I've had so much had luck in life and had some many bad things happen to me that I didn't deserve, it's a wonder I'm still alive and kicking. A couple years ago something happened that made me lose literally almost everything, and I had to build myself and my life back up from scratch. I've recreated myself like a phoenix. Sometimes I still wonder if I'll ever be complete again, if some of those things were irreplaceable and if I've lost myself... and some of those things I still miss so hard it hurts, and there will forever be a hole in my heart in their place. I wish I was being emo and overdramatic, but I'm not. Back then, I thought I would surely die. But I didn't, I'm here. Maybe I will die in a few months, or half a year, or in a few years... but if I'll survive long enough, maybe someday yet I'll reach happiness. 2 Quote POLARIS - LEVEL 4 AVATAR WARRIOR/MONK (currently visiting assassins) | Challenge Thread "We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us."

Cherry Poppins Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 I won Most Improved in a pole dancing performance, haha. I'm weirdly proud of it. I went to every single extra training session my dancing school ran in the few weeks leading up to the performance, purely because I didn't want to suck on stage, and I wanted to nail every move! It paid off 2 Quote I aim to misbehave. Battle log Link to comment
originalpiratematerial Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 As a novice runner, I entered a 10 km run to raise funds for our local hospice. I ran in memory of my friend Leigh's little daughter, my cousin and my uncle, all of whom were taken by cancer much too young. I raised over £2,000 in sponsorship and completed the run in an hour and two minutes and was very proud of both. 4 Quote Link to comment
insanity Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 What's your most proud moment of all time? It could be about yourself or your kids, anything really.Outside of somehow managing to live to this age.... as I have done some stupid things. I would have to say my Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering, 4 years of full time school, 4 years of full time work, and getting about as close to mentally breaking as I could, and I still managed. I can thank my Cross Country coach for that one... 1 Quote "Insanity - you make my world a better place man, you really do!

I would have to say my Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering, 4 years of full time school, 4 years of full time work, and getting about as close to mentally breaking as I could, and I still managed. I can thank my Cross Country coach for that one... I can really relate to this, I'm just about done my degree in Computer Engineering and I feel the same way. It's been so hard and stressful and I still have one last semester to go but if I could go back I'd still do it. It's changed me as a person for the better, it really made me grow up and grow a thicker skin, and gave me an interest in beneficial things I never thought I'd like, like robotics, personal finance, and productivity. And it's given me such a huge boost for my future with work experience, a small student loan since work terms earn enough to push me through school, and the skills needed to get a job. I'm very proud of it. Quote Link to comment

It's great to know others have made it, Congratulations!!My greats achievement to date is graduating high school. i was the first out of my siblings to do so, even though at times it seemed like i wouldn't make it.Congrats on all that... :-)Now for a bit of advice...1) Break it up into manageable chunks. Don't look at 4 years, 2 years, or even one year in the future. Don't look past the end of the week. It'll pass by faster than you realize.2) TAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF. I can't stress that enough. There was a period of about 6 months where I was going for 100 hours a week easy. It was damn hard, but even 30 minutes of just not thinking about things will help a ton.Also, get your sleep. I would sacrifice my free time before my sleep. Quote "Insanity - you make my world a better place man, you really do!

Stonie Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 I am also proud of surviving. Not that anything particularly horrible has ever happened to me, but I spent a lot of time in my teens and early adulthood wondering why I had to be alive when I just... didn't wanna be. Every year on my birthday I am genuinely surprised (and finally grateful) that I made it through another year. Also, joining roller derby. It's based on everything I thought I could never be - coordinated, fit, social. I had no skating experience when I began and spent my whole life listening to people tell me how uncoordinated I am. I passed my first skills test which means other people acknowledge the progress in my skills and still I don't totally believe them xD Quote Stonie They/Them Currently reading: Good Omens by Terry Pratchet & Neil Gaiman Currently playing: Outer Worlds (Xbox) Current DnD character: A radio presenter who’s magical bardic weapon is a portable radio broadcaster’s kit Link to comment
Dilnad Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 2 Weeks ago I completed my first half marathon. It was the proudest moment of my life but really more than just a single moment. Having started my journey 2 years ago at 326 pounds, this was just the culmination of everything I've accomplished over the last 2 years all pouring out in one rather emotional moment of joy as I completed the final goal on my list (which has now been updated with new goals LOL). AMAZING experience. Quote Hey. I've got a blog!! ----> The Dilnad Can! This is how I did it.

ExpectJade Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 my proudest moment up until now was the moment i got the keys to the appartment my girlfriend and i are living in at the moment.

Master Blackhawke Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 The accomplishment to date that I'm most pleased with would be learning to set my introverted nature aside to be more open to meeting new people. Opening up that heart chakra to the universe is a hard thing for me. I've made some wonderful friends since I started opening up. 1 Quote "The only decision that matters is what you do with the time that has been given to you." (Gandalf - LOTR) Link to comment
