I am proud of the life I've built. Before my teens were over, I had completely bypassed all thought of college, knocked up a girl, gotten married, and quit my band (the band was Plan A for my life). I had no skills and no plan and I'm sure even the people that loved us most thought that our marriage was doomed.
But it wasn't, and those people were wrong - even if the statistics were definitely on their side.
I am proud that I have 4 awesome kids..
I am proud that my wife and I are still actively falling in love every day, 20-something years later.
Honesty, I'm proud to be loved by an amazing woman...
Though conscious of my privilege, I am proud that I found a way to build a career and provide for my family despite having no education. I make over 200k now and that's simply way, way more than I ever thought I would be able to pull down.
