The more successful you get and the more out there you are in the world, the more vulnerable you are and the more you are open to hate, especially because of social media.

But for me, if you're doing something positive that's allowing someone to have a better wellbeing, or embrace their life more, you have to go for it, but know there's always going to be people who hate on you for doing what you're doing.",
