compliments about your appearance are nice‚ but when somebody compliments you as a person, the way you think‚ your laugh‚ your personality‚ how genuine your heart is‚ that hits different.
The older you get, the more you realize who your true friends are. It's not always about who has known you the longest, it's about who makes you feel seen, heard, understood, appreciated, supported and loved.
You know what feels really good? Believing in yourself. No matter what anyone says to you or about you, no matter what people think of you, no matter how many times you are rejected. When you believe in yourself, you can get through and do pretty much anything.
