You wake up every single day wondering what you're living for. You are at a crossroads where you feel like everything's falling apart and you can't seem to stop it. You look in the mirror but you don't recognize the person staring back at you, you're only a shadow of the person you used to be. And so this is my message to you.

We all have things going on in our lives. Maybe the person you love, doesn't love you back or you're stuck at a job that you hate. Maybe you heard a rumor about yourself that isn't true or are people who think they have right to input on your life. Perhaps you feel like you're watching your life fall apart like you're an outsider.

All these things happen in your life, and you compare that to other people's lives, and maybe that makes you feel like a failure.I promise you though, that every single human that is walking this earth is fighting a battle that you know nothing about, and that is why it's so very important to be good to ourselves and other people. And the thing is, that people can be very mean and hateful. People can betray you and can leave you feeling defeated.

But I think that a lot of times what these other people don't realize is that as much as they look down on you, and as mean as they may be to you, it never compares to the way we are mean to ourselves.

Some of us get hatred for ourselves based on the way other people treat us. I think that we start to become depressed and hate the person we see in the mirror because of the awful ways that people kick us while we are down.

Never in your life let the people who are bringing you down think they know you. Don't let them make you feel like a failure just because you're not where you want to be. Don't let them think that they know anything about your life.

Do not let someone make you feel like damaged goods just because they think they're entitled to an opinion about your life. They're not. So do not ever let anyone make you feel less than you are.

Never give up on your life, or the things you can accomplish just because people can be mean. Be better. Love with all your heart. Make mistakes, but learn from them. And always stay true to yourself. You're worth the fight.

"You are not the opinion of someone who doesn't know you."
