Every morning, I have to remind myselfthat I don't need to prove myself to anyone.Not a single soul.I don't need to justify, defend, over-explain,or convince anyone about any aspects of my life or choices.I'm doing my best.I'm healing, hurting, growing, grieving, loving, learning,and most of all I am trying.Anyone who wants to judge where I'm at,compete or criticize has no place in any part of my life.I've spent a lot of time trying to get people to accept me, or feel proud of me.But now all that matters is that I'm proud of myself.I don't have to seek validation from anyone.~ Empaths, Old Souls and Introverts
