The People That Really Matter

I was bothered today. I'd been thinking. Someone made me reexamine myself and even second-guess myself. I had actually gotten worried that people saw me differently than I really am. I left the computer for hours. I rested and spent time kicking back watching television. I saw the bigger picture. The bigger picture is, I can't help how others see me. People are going to see you how they want to. Most times it has nothing to do with the person you really are.

Coming to this realization made me feel much better. I can't stop people from having their opinions about the way I act or how they think I feel. No one can assume such personal things about another person. Unless you are in a person's mind, body and soul, you can't possibly judge them. Knowing that now I feel good. Why did I spend one moment thinking about this? This is just normal behavior when dealing with other people. They may not understand you or fully get where you are coming from, but that doesn't make that your fault. It may not make it the other person's fault but I shouldn't beat myself up, and second-guess the person I am because of something someone suggests or says.

As long as the people close to me, the people outside my career, the people in my family, the people that I love know the real me and understand me, I'll be okay. No one else matters. It's all about the people who love me because they are the people I will need and have for a lifetime. The people who truly love me will always understand. And that goes for you too.

Be your own person and don't let anyone ever make you feel like it's bad to be who you really are.

With Love,
Stacy
