What does that have to do with me?

So far, I've been trying to quash the everpresent ego I have surrounding the hurtful things in my life. The question I must bear in mind: "what does any of that have to do with me or my worth or my true self?" So, you're not attracted to me? So, you think I'm a bad person/worker/student/musician? So, you have some story about me that you've created and believe? Okay.

And?


I missed the part where you get to judge my validity. Now it makes sense, I think. I used to think that all these people knew something that I didn't. The whole handing out my consent to make me feel inferior. I get it now. Won't let it happen again.

I'm doing my best and trying my hardest. I'm being myself and if it's not good enough for anyone else that's unfortunate but I've done everything I can.
It's kind of liberating to realize: not everything is about me.
