Day 1615 - Mar.2.23 - Don’t discount

Don’t discount what you’ve done. Don’t discount what you’ve accomplished. Don’t discount your life story. Don’t discount your trauma and how it affected you. Don’t discount leaving medicine when people told you it was a mistake. Don’t discount reading 225 books in 4 years. Don’t discount writing over 600 blog posts since 2021. Don’t discount building a website that showcases all of you. Don’t discount the luck it took to get here. Don’t discount the work you had to put in to be here. Don’t discount being from an immigrant household. Don’t discount being the chubby short kid in grade school. Don’t discount living across multiple continents by yourself. Don’t discount the risks you had to take to be where you are. Don’t discount the time it’s taken to get here. Don’t discount the consistency and discipline you’ve shown throughout your life. Don’t discount what you’ve created. Don’t discount the help you’ve had along the way. Don’t discount the people who gave you an opportunity when no one else would. Don’t discount the friends and family who have supported you along the way. Don’t discount the failures and setbacks you had to endure. Don’t discount the many non-sober nights with those you love. Don’t discount who you’ve become. You deserve this.
