A friend will not literally share your struggles, and a loved one cannot physically take away your pain, and a close one will not stay up the night on your behalf.
So, look after yourself, protect yourself, nurture yourself and not give life’s events more than what they are really worth.
Know for certain that when you break, no one will heal you except you, and when you are defeated, no one will give you victory except your own determination.
Your ability to stand up again and carry on, is your responsibility.
Do not look for your self-worth in the eyes of people; look for your worth from within your conscience. If your conscience is at peace, then you will ascend high and if you truly know yourself, then what is said about you, will not harm you.
