Outside acceptance is also a necessary part of life but self acceptance should be your first and foremost. Be gentle with yourself. Love yourself. Don’t take anything personally because at the end of the day those who’ve rejected you are just loosing out on the wonders that are you. We’re societal creatures so I understand the pull and want of acceptance. Don’t let that consume who you are though. We are all unique for a reason. Trust me, when you’ve accepted yourself and truly love yourself and you finally find your tribe, your people, and where you belong, it’s so much greater. You appreciate it more. If you ain’t the shit to no one, you should at least be the shit to you.
