Yes! it’s horrible having connections that weigh you down 😊 hope you find the people that raise you up

I used to be sorta Edgy and closed minded, I was pretty unfit and gross, always leeching off of people. Now, I’m healthy, I look great, I love my family unconditionally, I have friends who love me and vice-versa. I never thought I could be those things, I thought I was gonna be a slob forever, until I decided to do something about it. I used to be cowardly, scared of my own shadow, but now I just embrace the fear, the uncertainty while still pushing myself to the destination. I never thought I could be anything really, but now I’m quite certain on what I am.

this is cool

Shave my head bald. When I was young, I was completely self conscious about my hair and got upset about me growing less. It took a couple of years and some small steps, but I'm comfortable enough in myself to shave my head.

So true. I just love it

Survive and being myself

Wow! You are an inspiration. I hope I can love myself the same way you do, and I certainly wish younthe best!

I never thought I could travel out of state alone 😁.

Thank you, actually on my way for the second adventure next week. It's actually addicting when you start loving your own company 🫶

Currently on the same boat, lol 😆. Feels like the weight has been lifted off my shoulders

I had crush on a girl my college andi want to talk to her but i don't have number, i try to get her number but i failed, but one day suddenly a msg came on my WhatsApp and the msg sent by my crush and i cant believe that what happening how can she get my number and then she told me about how she get my number and we talked. Lol This crazy thingis unbelievable thing happen in my life.

I never thought I’d feel this low. Living in the West Bank feels like suffocating underwater. I’m trying to live every day, but the occupation crushes something inside you. Still, I have to keep going. Not for myself—but for the thousands who lost their lives in Gaza. I can’t let them down by giving up.

Thanks! That is something we share in common, then 😊

My pleasure. I wish you the best!

Pursue bachelor degree

Reaching new lows. Seems like you can dig infinitely.

Im so glad! Journaling changed my life ever since I started

Thank youu and exactly i completely agree!!

Cutting off long time “friends” that weren’t positive influences on me

Love myself. just sitting and accepting and loving that shape in the mirror

Leave a narcissistic brainwashing religious cult.

Wow man I am so happy for you!! That's literally my dream great job for real! I hope I can pull it off as well! I have a long way to go but I will keep working for it!

Good job! There’s many more years to come and I hope you stick around for them.

Getting a masters degree. I didn’t think I was eligible to get into grad school since my academic performance as an undergrad wasn’t all that impressive. But despite that, I was given a chance & I was able to pull it off.

Thanks 😊

Well look at you! Here you are and you did it! Great job for real and I am glad you tried anyway despite your negative feelings. Never give up on yourself.

Wow. That is impressive. I am glad you're living the dream. Keep it up for real!

I am glad you reached that. It is really exhausting to keep worrying about how others think. Keep doing what makes you happy, as long as it does not affect anyone negatively

I am glad you did and I hope you keep making it. Keep up the good work my friend

I love it. I do not have much to say honestly (mostly because I am speechless at how accurate that is) but I just wanted to say I love it!

Hello. I am Yusuf. I am 21 and I am from Egypt. I am an English arts student (my study revolves around linguistics and literature). I always wanted someone to love me the way I love others. I never found that person and I never thought I could that person for myself but this year I started journaling and I am slowly stepping into that role for myself.

The strangest victories are the ones that don't feel like victories at all. You spend so long pushing against a wall that one day you forget it was ever there. What once demanded effort becomes instinct. What once felt impossible becomes ordinary. And then, looking back, you realize you didn't just achieve something. You became the kind of person who could.

Live and not give a fck about other peoples opinions/ Not let social anxiety control my every day life

Surviving basic training.

Stay strong. Wear your battle scars proudly and keep fighting. You're here now and I and so many others are so proud of you

Travel alone and explore the city without even knowing the language

Turning 19. Never thought i would make it this far
