and so james sat there thinking about his acheivements of the past couple of months. His time away had been daunting, but he had succedded, even if it cost him his precious wife. She could not hold on any longer. Sadly she moved on with her life, But now James was at the point where he could start anew

I was so proud when I walked off that field. Proud of myself and my achievements, but mostly proud of the fact that I tried!
Dan Haugh
I’m not to proud to admit that struggling with pride has been a lifelong process for me.
Pride certainly came before my fall.
I’ve learned to find my identity in who God is and Christ’s love for me.
I’m proud of my heritage, my God, my mission (which is God’s).
Brian Niece
Proud of being there for some people.
Proud of not being proud of my BS.
Proud of her.
Al
i am proud of myself. i think i know why but i dont like to admit it
angi proehl
im proud to be an american. proud to be a mountaineer. proud to be who i am where i am doing what im doing. i love it here and im proud of whats happening. proud to be who i am and know what i want.
Matt
My proudest feelings regard my husband and my children. They are my life. I feel great pride when I think of the priviledges I have living in this great country and the men and women who protect it for me to have those freedoms.
I am Proud!
Peggy
She was proud as she gazed at her child. The child gazed up to her, and smiled a dark toothed grin. The man underneath their feet lay still – still warm. His blood seeped slowly and the child began laughing more, making the mother laugh too.
Anon
I’m proud to be a sister. Proud to be an American. Proud that I can have a future. Proud that I can be myself. Proud that my friends are the best anyone could ask for. Proud that I’m not failing school. Proud that I can keep my temper in check at school.
Elizabeth
I’m proud of myself for learning basketry and making money selling my products. I’m proud of my kids…they are smart, good-looking, and have common sense. Sometimes being proud isn’t good, like when you do something wrong and refuse to apologize because your pride gets in the way. It makes for bad relationships and even destroys them a lot of the time. People who are proud may come to regret their actions someday, and you can never go back and you might lose something you really cared about. Too bad. That’s life. So don’t be proud. It ain’t worth it.
Julie
Kings are proud. Lofty, haughty ones, lording their power above the underlings. Laughing down noses, voices seething with arrogance and fattened audacity.
All are proud. Why does it seem like it’s only “them”?
Jo
who’s proud?
j
I used to be house proud…everything in place…many seasonal changes…then all my kids grew up…they are adults living here, finishing school, busy with lives that do not include time for picking up and putting away, now I just take care of those things that need doing…the rest can just stay put until the owner looks for it
betty
Pride is like the mother of all lions, a pack of huntresses, ego ablaze in all it’s glory, chin up, erect back, shoulders squared. It’s a reason for a gay parade. It’s subject to slips
Michelle
I am not proud
Of you
Then again you are not proud either
Time lost
Floats away
Be nothing
but who you are
Proud is not that
Paul
I looked down at the crowd gathered at the town square. All of them, all of – how many were there? There must have been at least ten thousand. Ten thousand people supporting such an important cause, just because I got them all together. I had never been more proud of myself than I was at that moment.
Coren
Proud of the men around me who struggle for their families. Wlling to do the very hard things that the media at large thinks is impossible for a man to do. Proud oftheir humility and grit. Proud of their willingness to change a diaper and kill a snake.
Evab
i am very proud of who i am. i love who i am. i dont think im too proud but sometimes i think maybe i am. does that mean im big headed? maybe im just not as good as i think i am. i think pride is a very good thing, it shouldnt be looked down upon.
i am proud of my art. i thought i was good but im realising that i am even better.
emma
of my daughter, I can’t claim credit for anything about her though, but just thinking of her makes me feel like my life was not in vain. She’s better than I could ever be, and she’s only one. What is that?
Adrienne Leonard
proudness is good because it means that u have somthing to be pround of. If you dont have somthing to be proud of, then you are a nobody, but i will not pursue that because then people might be hurt, if they have nothing to be proud about. since. did you know that a group of lions is called a proud of lions?
charlie
i am proud to be a person because people are real and they are not fake like other things, such as imaginary poeple who are not real and are stupid. Poeple should be able to have super powers, even though that is fake aswell. I like being proud to be real because it makes me proud.
charlie meller
Are we proud of what we are? The world today teeches us to be proud of lonely accomplishes but we forget that we live in society and thatsometimes a group should be proub of other litle things and stop thinking individualy.
Abarro
The car was shiny chrome, a glimmering blue in the bright sun. She had done it. That morning she had made her very last payment. This car, even with all of its faults was hers now. All hers.
If she only she had known her cheque was going to bounce that afternoon.
Melissa
‘Proud’ is an excellent word for my experience tonight. Tonight I spoke as a living-history impersonator in front of a 150 retired marines and their relatives. ‘Proud’ is the defining word of this group. For their coming to grips with shedding blood is stronger than those of us who have not found ourselves as soldier. We have not found ourselves as a particular kind of soldier as well. Yet, in order to justify this experience of seeing comerades die, and killing the ones who did the deed, and perhaps, most important surviving where all of them did not, many of these folks need reassurance that their choice was ethical. They need to feel bonded, with those who survived. Pride earned is to be respected. Yet, what of those, that are not completely sure?
Peter Charlot
A song of disgust and self-obsession. I pity those of you beneath it and its suffocating pressure.
Bow down!
Jess Jess
Proud that I am who I am.
Is that a right? … or a privelege?
Happy to have it yet pride just gets in the way.
A front, a barrier.
Sky
i’m still obscenely proud of the scar i left on her face.
am i an awful person?
avidi
She was too stuck up, too proud to evn consider it. No-one would change her mind, this was what she had decided.
Alex Sinclair
beautiful and proud. i would never live up to your expectations. a few more months, a few more years, maybe i’ll get this right. beautiful and proud.
lauren
I am not proud. I have little self-worth. I am goth. Goths have little self-esteem.
wayno
i am. when i wana be. that’s just how it is with me. but i do give in. and make you believe that you’re the proud one. when i want my own way.
peachybree
I wish I was more proud of who I am. I diminish all of my accomplishments, and it results in a lack of confidence in myself. I’m never up to my own standards.
marisa
because i dont know whether or not my pride is false or true, im scared to admit that i think im better than you, but i still have no one to love me, i know its silly, but i dont care, i love who i am, yet i hate myself at the same time because i pride myself on being smart, but i still get screwed over and fucked up in the end.
amanda
This word reminds me of my Dad. I do not mean that in necessarily a good way. My dad was always talking about how “proud he was of me” whenever big days of accomplishment arrived, like graduation or something like that. He would look at me intently and ask in an earnest voice, you know how proud I am of you, right? Although this sounds like a sweet gesture, it always kind of made me feel uncomfortable. I guess because he was awkward about how he said he was proud and why did he only say it on “special” days. I guess it got me to thinking, why is he proud of me? Because I get good grades and play sports and am a happy cheerful all around good kid, because I went to a good college and lived in a foreign country and speak another language? Why wasn’t he just proud of me for nothing? For just being me? And what a strange word? Like was I the manifestation of his desires? His hopes and dreams that he could never fulfill? And what horrible pressure to put on a young person, because for the rest of their (my) life, I will always be wondering if I am making him proud. When this slimy little world should not even worm its way into my head. I should just do what I want and be happy. Damn him for instilling this notion of family pride into me, I hate it. It makes me want to become homeless and beg for money just to make him uncomfortable. Just to see if he will be “proud” then.
k coates
This is the feeling I have when I look at my son. This is the feeling I have when I finish a chapter of my thesis. To be proud is often looked upon as vain but I think more people need to be proud of what they do – it is an undervalued attribute
Megami
I will be proud to wear your name.
Ophelia Hu
I am so proud of you for not killing yourself today.
Matthew
i always wonder if my father has ever been really “proud” of what i’ve accomplished with my life.. a college degree wasn’t good enough.. being an athlete wasn’t good enough.. possibly because i wasn’t the chosen child.. sometimes i wonder if life would have been easier without a father than having one who was never proud of me..
Richard Bombach
What the fuck does anyone have to be proud about?
I guess I’m pretty proud about writing this and letting people no. I’m proud of my contrarian nature that has resulted in this.
Jim
i don’t want to be proud.i don’t even want to be confident. pride is for cliches and old fables. confidence is for people stronger than me.
