That's so true.
Once you found out who you want to be, you just stop caring about people who mock you, because you don't need no one's approval despite your own.
I used to care a lot about what people thought about me. Then I started being made fun because of my clothes, and you know what?
I just stopped caring about what everyone else thought. I was just being me. You can't please everyone, so why not please yourselfe? There are others who like you the way you are.
And then I wasn't afraid anymore, to embrace my own personality and ideals. You know what, motherfuckers? You guys made me grow a stronger, more self confident person. I guess things don't always turn up the way you expected.
