I scorched out all childishness and wilfulness with adamancy and thus the wild slowly became sane, uninterested, and serious.

Somewhere down the line, you will come to understand that everyone is just an acquaintance, and everyone stays with us only for a limited time. Those preoccupations of yours, those unresolved doubts, those persons you craved for – time will offer solutions. Embrace understatement.

People are always going to judge you regardless of what kind of life you lead. Some quotes that come to my mind are; “People do not point at others because they have made errors, but because the latter wants to feel prominent.”

Since criticism is guaranteed, follow your heart. So, do what you want, be with whoever you want, go where you feel comfortable, do what you like, and become a better person.

It’s all about living life and not about getting things all perfect in the process of living it. I have gained the ability to accept my deficiencies and accept imperfections to make many mistakes and live with regrets. This is my self-acceptance. I wish people could free themselves from anxiety, accept their imperfect selves, and accept themselves with all their shortcomings.
