Getting out of dodge...

Are you like those repukes out there?

Would you make that decision for someone else?

Walk up to someone and tell them to end it?

Of course not.

SO WHY WOULD YOU TALK TO YOURSELF THAT WAY?


You deserve to at least love and respect yourself. You've lived long enough to make a difference in a few lives even if you don't know it. AND you can chose to continue to be your own wonderful self (even on really sucky days) no matter what the insanity of the world tries to force upon you.

REFUSE TO LET THE BIATCHES OF THIS WORLD determine who you are or what you do.


BE YOURSELF. NO ONE ELSE can do it as good as you can.






****************************************************************************************
Sometimes when I say something internally that sounds awful and shocking, I think to myself, "Would you say that to a friend?
An acquaintance? Even an enemy?" I usually sheepishly answer, "NO" THEN WHY ARE YOU SAYING THIS TO YOURSELF?


SO I sometimes have to force myself to be as nice to me as I would to someone I meet on the street.

Whatever works, right?
