The thing about people is, they suck. In your life, you’ll meet people that you get along with and you will create friendships. Some of those friendships are short lived but some are also life long. Then you have family that you might have a falling out with. You will have people that you will have to deal with; i.e. bosses, coworkers, significant others family, teachers, classmates, etc. Regardless of your relationship with whoever, YOU CANNOT MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY! You will have people that judge you because they don’t like who you are, what you look like, your age, who you are with, or whatever other reason they find to be a toxic human being and hate you. But you will also have people that judge you because of their past experiences. Our families are the main people guilty of this. They remember how they were at your age and may regret doing or not doing something, or they might have insecurities and it is affected onto you. YOU ARE NOT YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES!
The sooner that you realize that everyone is going to have their own opinion and you can’t change it, the happier you will be in your life. People will justify why they don’t like you or why they want you to be a certain way. Don’t settle for that. YOU ARE YOU! And do not apologize for it. But also do not allow what others think of you, and common stereotypes that you fit into, hold you back.
Let people talk about you and be mad about whatever it is they feel like being mad about that day. Do not let them affect your mood, attitude, or life. Put your priorities together and worry about yourself. DO YOU! Be successful, set goals and accomplish them, make people eat their words. Be the awesome person you are and let them find it out for themselves and then regret being rude to you later.
DO NOT EVER LET SOMEONE STEAL YOUR JOY. If you spend your life trying to make others happy, YOU WILL NEVER BE HAPPY. Sometimes you have to be selfish and put yourself and your life first. And there is nothing wrong with that. (And do not let anyone make you feel bad for doing it either.)
ON A SIDE NOTE: Just because people talk about you behind your back, does not mean that you wont hear about it. Because if you are like me, you find out EVERYTHING whether you want to or not. All that these people are doing by talking about you behind your back is being toxic to themselves. Doing things like that is like them drinking poison and expecting you to die. And vise versa. DO NOT HOLD ONTO BAD ENERGY! Let people talk.
