people who have been through a lot don’t get nearly enough credit for their real achievements. just to claw their way up to the place where most people start out in life is a huge deal, and no one really congratulates you for that my biggest accomplishments according to society are probably going from starving artist working part time in retail, to published author and full time artist, making six figures in a year, and living a life on the ocean that feels like being retired and those things are all great but personally i think my biggest ones are going to jail zero times, choosing healing instead of violence, learning how to get unblocked after complex trauma, actually being excited about life, and getting to basically do whatever i want at all times if you had a rough start i want you to know that i’m proud of you just for being here. and i think you should share some of your biggest personal accomplishments below so we can give you your flowers
