bottom line, we are who we are at the time we are being that,,, and people are not ours to control. if you like you, that has to be enough. if you don't like what comes your way, move. take a stand, decide: change or accept the way things are.
this is what experience has taught me, i'm just sharing. i have changed a lot in the last few years, and i like to think of it as improvement. i get better responses from others, too, they find me easier to tolerate. i was insensitive, to say the least, and critical. who needs that in their life ? not me..
accept and be accepted~
