You don’t need to prove yourself to anyone. You don’t need to spend your energy trying to earn other’s acceptance or waste your time trying to explain yourself. You don’t need to justify your ideas to others who won’t understand… My beautiful friend, just be you. Spend your time doing your thing. Spend your energy learning and growing. Pour yourself into your ideas and dreams and let go of what others are saying…. Because in the end, it just doesn’t matter what they think — it only matters what you think.

I Have Not Been Myself for a Long Time
I have not been myself for a long time, and even I pretended not to notice, along with everyone else. It’s a lonely place to be. Sometimes we abandon ourselves because that’s the pattern we’ve always known, and it’s toxic as hell, but we keep doing it. It’s hard to understand, but sometimes familiar patterns feel like love, and God…. I’ve been trying to love myself for my whole life. And I’m telling you now, the hardest thing I’ve ever done is unlearn all those patterns and teach myself the right way to love. I’m starting with myself. It hurts a lot, but I have faith that one day it won’t.

Anyone Can be Manipulated by a Narcissist
Anyone can be manipulated by a narcissist. It has nothing to do with your level of intelligence, or how many degrees you have. Victims of narcissistic abuse often feel stupid for allowing themselves to be taken advantage of by narcissists. We are not taught to protect ourselves from these predators. We are also not taught the nature of who we are dealing with. Most of us didn’t know people like this existed. We were completely unprepared to deal with this insidious manipulatory abuse.

Remember We Are All Affecting the World
Remember, we are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to or not. Our actions and states of mind matter, because we’re so deeply interconnected with one another. Working on our own consciousness is the most important thing that we are doing at any moment, and being love is the supreme creative act.
~ Ram Dass
