365 Questions--August 1

When was the last time you surprised yourself?

So because it’s August and my birthday is in August, I decided to make all of the August posts be a self-reflection over year 25. I hope yall enjoy. 

I would have to say it started about 2 months ago and it’s still happening. I’ve seen a substantial amount of growth in myself. I went through a really bad breakup, and surprisingly, I kept my cool the entire time. Yes, my feelings were very hurt, but I didn’t lash out like I normally would. Had this been 2 years ago, his windows on his new car would’ve been busted out, I would’ve slashed 3 of his tires (insurance will cover if it’s all 4), I would’ve blasted him to his family. Let’s just say there’s a lot that I could’ve done, but I didn’t. I didn’t even curse him out. I was able to walk away from the situation and strictly work on myself. I’d never had any motivation to work on myself before now. Something about this situation made a light go off for me. I’m surprised that I listened.
