wanderlust

Other people’s opinion of you does not have to become your reality.

“You went out to achieve an objective, and you did not achieve what you set out to do.”

“You were so quiet, you need to socialize!”

I don’t know why I got so mad inside when these lines were thrown at my face. I guess I thought he implied that I was not good at socializing… and maybe I really suck at it. But the quote, “It’s not who you are that holds you back, it’s who you think you’re not.” really resonates with what happened to me today. Have you ever been constantly around someone who’s made you feel like shit about yourself? I have, and I hate that I’m starting to feel this way again. NO ONE has the right to make anyone feel bad about themselves. Don’t ever let anyone’s word affect you. The only way they can is if you let them. 

I feel like I’m on an emotional fritz right now. I cried for the dumbest of things several times this week.
