So perhaps it is continuing to try your best,
to be well and do well,
when no one is looking,
when no one reflects on the effort you have been putting in.
Because this life you live is not lived for them,
it is lived for you.
You go home to yourself everyday,
and you don't need to get wrapped up in
the fact that you have to be appreciated by others
and that you have to always win them over.
You don't have to compare yourselves to them,
you don't have to see yourself as less than them.
You don't have to wonder if they like you.
You just have to like you.
How you may ask?
I don't know what I have to offer.
But stop and resonate on your gifts.
The things, skills, and gifts that have brought you this far in your life.
You are beautiful, intelligent, worthy.
You can do things that only you are proficient at.
Think of the times you have accomplished something so unique,
so unlike anything anyone else has done.
See, you have your own identity,
your owns strengths, your own wisdom,
and your own sense of creativity.
You don't need to give all your hope away
to what others may think.
It's enough just letting them go
their seperate ways.
Let those people carry on,
you do you.
You continue to innovate and create.
You continue to lead your heart in the right direction.
Independently seeking what is ultimately
the best for you.
