Although I have stated this before, that every human is different, I will begin again with these same words in a fresh manner.

Every human is different. Every human has flaws.

Some people, small and insecure people, make the effort to belittle others and make them feel that empty, painful pit of agony in their stomach when they begin to question everything about themselves.

Some do this in harsher ways than others but it has the same outcome.

In truth, not everyone is going to like you because of maybe the way you look, the way you speak, interact, the way you are brought up, your opinions, your intelligence, etc.

I think back to my elementary school days, playing outside during recess and riding the school bus home, and I distinctly remember the kids that made fun of me.

The kids that picked on me for being a girl, or saying something they didn't agree with or for simply being me.

I wish I could go back and tell my younger self on that school bus that those kids don't matter, because they didn't and they mean nothing to me today.

It's truly none of my business what other people think of me.

My life does not connect to theirs if I don't want it too.

The reflection of myself does not come from what others think of me.

The best thing to do when you come across someone that doesn't particularly like you is to let it go. Don't let them win by giving them the reaction they want.

They want you to hit a low, one that is beneath what they feel of themselves.

If we spend our time worrying about making everyone else happy and ourselves feel likable, we'd be wasting our time.

We are slowly creating problems for ourselves when there is no need.

I slowly began to forget the people over the years that didn't like me or said things about me only because I truly don't care.
