Sleeping with yourself...

One thing I learned early on is that once you stop caring what everyone else thinks, the better off you'll be. It doesn't matter what people say about you or the choices you make. When it's all said and done, the only one who has to live with it all is you. If you are okay with it, that is all that matters. It doesn't matter who everyone else wants you to be. You are who you are, and the things about you, chosen or not chosen, are no one's business but yours. As the saying goes, "Those who mind, don't matter, and those who matter, don't mind."
