Control Quote by Marie Sexton

“You cant control what others think. The only thing you can control is yourself. Some people will look down on you for your choices in life, no matter what they are. You cant do anything about that. The only thing you can do is decide how to live your own life. And to hell with everybody else” quote by Marie Sexton
