"Nobody Knows You The Way You Know You."

I used to be the type that always wanted to be around others. Now, I love being alone. Not alone in a depressing sense of the word, but alone to explore my own thoughts. I enjoy learning about myself. It's strange to think that there's this separation between who you think you are & who you actually are. Learning things about yourself is amazing. Getting lost in your own thoughts is wonderful. Being comfortable with who you are as a person allows you to embrace everything that makes up your life, as well as distance yourself from things that are holding you back from moving forward & being successful. I used to be so preoccupied with what others thought of me, and how others saw me, & if I was talked about behind my back & if so, what was being said? Recently, that's all changed. I've come to terms with the fact that you need to be confident with yourself in order to be happy. Yes, people are going to talk about you behind your back. Yes, people are going to say nice things about you. Yes, people are also going to say horrible things about you, but so what? You can't change other people. Positive vibes attract positive vibes. Surrounding myself with people that were involved with senseless drama ultimately stressed me out & put me in a negative mindset. I would much rather be doing something meaningful rather than be hung up on trivial issues that don't hold any importance. "Nobody Knows You The Way You Know You" is an amazing quote, & one of my favorites. You know yourself the best, but there is always something new to learn. :)
