Go Right Ahead
The best advice I got for you
Even if they persecute you for your personality or prosecute you for your practices, always be yourself, just be sure who to figure out who that is first.
Whether your voice shakes in fear or cracks out of anger, guilt, or a pain unique to you — say what it is you came to and to who you must. People won’t always listen, but they’ll hear you.
Don’t fake it to make it. Be authentic and do your best, even if someone else deems it to be not enough for them. You’ll never please everyone, start with you and work outward.
The people you think are judging you, probably don’t think about you nearly as often you wish, fear, or imagine they do — and that’s a good thing.
Few of us are as great or as horrible as we can feel on any given day. As with most things, The truth likely lies somewhere between the two extremes.
Take your time on the things that matter to you and become who you believe you’re meant to be. Just be damn sure it was your belief and not one you adapted for the sake of others.
We become — at least partially — what we think about, focus on, do and consume. Patterns become habits and habits become cycles. Consciously choose better.
