Accept yourself Quote by Marcia M Edwards
““Sometimes you might accept yourself for who you are only because others treat you less than who you know to be your true self. You might begin to accept being treated a certain way because you wanted to be noticed and then later on wonder why are you allowing a person to treat you as such. That's when you've realized that you are more than how they treat you or call you. They might call you names but you know who you are. Do not let a person treat you less than you are. Hold on to your values, you're nothing without your principles””
