I don’t care what they think about me. They were never there when I was fighting battles in silence. They did t see the nights I stayed awake. The morning I got up broken. They judge from the outside but they will never feel what I have endured inside. I no longer live for approval, applause or validation. I live for growth, peace and purpose. I don’t need to be liked. I was born to stand out. Their opinions are noise. Their doubts are fuel. Their silence is freedom. I am not cold, I’m focused. I’m not arrogant, I’m aware. I have built myself through storms they would never survive. #kh
