You cannot live your life to please others. The choice must be yours.

Best version of yourself.

Whatever you are made of, be the best of that.

I live my life with love. I live my life with compassion. I live my life hoping the best for absolutely everyone, no matter how they feel about me. And when you live that way, it's amazing how beautiful every day can be.
