Don't let their character assassinations, or what you think they want to see turn you away from your true self and into everything people want you to be (which needless to say is usually worse, more miserable and less than you could be). 

Those that play on your insecurities, or tell you you aren't good enough are just projecting their own insecurities. They are threatened that you may become as happy and successful as they are too afraid to dream of because they've decided to go along the route of pessimism. 

People with those kinds of negative behaviours and thought patterns never go far in life, and if they do they are miserable, bored or deeply unsatisfied inside. This is because they're not doing what they truly want in and so their life doesn't enthuse them, or make them happy. They consciously or not don't give things their all which results in shoddy work. 

All the best things in life are inspired by passion, or a love for something that moves you- which could be anything or several things (and I don't mean things in the material sense, because that's superficial, fleeting happiness that lasts until your next impulse buy, etc etc.)

Share your light, instead of stifling it to please others, or the part of your soul that you want to please instead of what has been sold to you. At the end of the day (as I've said before), you live with the consequences of the actions you make good, or bad.

 It only makes sense to make positive choices because who doesn't want to be happy? A good heart attracts good people and experiences into your life, but also people that will try to steal your light because they were too scared to create their own. 

 Know, understand and act once you accordingly because deep inside, you know the difference. Don't make the mistake of allowing toxic, draining people into your life that only care about what you can do for them- don't be afraid to cut them off with forgiveness in your heart and no apology. 

You should be supported, loved and appreciated by the people in your life. If you feel as though you need to change yourself or put on a show, you're not truly happy and comfortable and that means some things need to change inside and around you. 

Time is really precious and limited so you should spend your time with people that inspire you, and help you grow- not people who are immature, users, selfish, *insert other shitty attributes here*. 

Not everyone is your friend in life. For some time until you get your feet back, you may be your only friend but that's okay. We are always supported in ways that we can't see- believe in your own magic. 

Be safe,

-Dalanda
