Accept yourself Quote by JOHNREYES
“There will always be people who refuse to respect you the way you look, the way you talk, the things you say, the styles you enjoy, your beliefs, your interests, your loves, etc. In other words, they wont support you in being true to yourself. But its up to you if you want to let them mess with your character, or if you would rather stand up for yourself and accept yourself just the way you are.”
