Don't let anybody break that down.
You are nice and lovely and sweet and good hearted. Don't let anyone tell you that you're bad or wrong or, ugh, there is so much difference between honesty, constructive criticism, and just being a ****. Sometimes people just make things up to feel better about themselves. I have to go back to the four agreements every time.
Be impeccable with your word.
Don't take anything personally.
Don't make assumptions.
Always do your best.
That's all it comes down to. If you follow these rules every single time. you will never feel bad.
I love too many things to hate because of one thing.
You don't have to be mean, you don't have to hold grudges, you don't have to say what you think you mean,
As long as you understand, that's all that matters.
