It's All About Me ~ Ladies Of Hive Community Contest #64

It's been a while I participated in the Ladies of. Hive contest, so today, their community contest questions got my attention, and I decided to do something.

Here are the questions;

What are you most grateful for right now?
Or
Share one nice thing about yourself!

I have been thinking about which question to start with, so I decided to start with the second question that says,

Share one nice thing about yourself!

Hmmm, it is kinda hard to say something nice about myself that is because I get a lot of glare, funny faces, or perhaps hate looks from people most times because of the way I see, think, and react to things.

Maybe because I am an introvert and only talk when I feel like and not when people think I should or perhaps because, over the years, I have learned to abhor or tolerate people insolence and speak up when I feel it is too much for me to handle and as a result when speaking up, I tend to pour out my heart without holding back and not caring how the other person feels until I am done venting out my anger. I always tell people I am not nice, so they don't think I am going to tolerate them or because of being nice, not speak up when I have had enough to them.

Notwithstanding, one nice thing about myself is that I never judge.*

I can tell you, it is most times hard not to judge people most especially when they behave in an unruly manner but over the years, I learned to always make excuses for people bad behaviour giving me reasons why I should not judge them no matter what they do and I do not like been judged. So, I don't do what I do not want others to do to me.

Nowadays, we get to see a lot of people judge others even when they do not know them or the reason behind their actions and that alone gets to me that I see myself defending this person even when I do not know them.

What are you most grateful for right now?

I am most grateful for life. It is indeed a privilege that I am still alive to see this year 2022. At a point in time, I never thought I was going to see beyond that year because of the series of depressions I was seeing myself fall into and it would take days and most times weeks to come out of it.

Days that all I considered doing was committing suicide because I felt I had no reason to continue living. Days when I felt tired of life and saw no reason to live. I felt death was the only option left and the only way to get freedom from what I was facing

Here I am in the year 2022 still kicking and still surviving. Got a lot of hope and working towards having a better life.

This is my entry to the Ladies of Hive Community Contest #64. I invite @merit.ahama to participate.
