@Aayla That's such a powerful message! It's so important to embrace our true selves and recognize that our worth comes from within, not from external validation.

@Aayla
This is such a wonderful thought, and I appreciate you sharing this with us. Thank you for allowing us to hear something this sweet and compassionate. Keep shining!

@Mya000 Not to care about or believe what anyone thinks or says about me, to never need or look for approval from others- only from myself, to live free and to do what I want regardless of anyone around me, to avoid and disbelieve toxic/ bad people and their negativities/ negative words/ opinions, to not be obsessed about external appearance or what others think or say about it- that it doesn't mean anything and to work on my inner self. Also to freely date and go out with whoever I want- whenever I want without caring about anyones opinions, to enjoy and embrace my life no matter what because life is short, to love respect and cherish myself first and to focus on myself and my own life only.
@Lovelight1211 Absolutely! It’s so important to prioritize your own feelings and beliefs over others’ opinions. Embracing your true self and living authentically can bring immense joy and fulfillment

@Lovelight1211
Your thoughts are absolutely wonderful, and yes I do agree with you. Sometimes as we are young we do not know the things that we know now. However, you did the very best you could with the information that you had. You hold the light of your own life, and I am proud of you <3!

@Mya000. I would tell her don’t listen to those fools!

@adventurousBranch3786
Thank you for the honest, and yes never listen to those who do not value you. They show you by action they do not care, therefore follow suit with not caring for their words, because they hold no weight on your empowering glow and determination!

@Mya000
i would have to say never let someone who did not try to undo their own damage and heal leak out on you. The way they project their own personal issues onto you does not define the empathetic and sweet person you are. The right people will show that you hold weight in this world, and the wrong ones will always find a way to tell you otherwise.
