“…You are beautiful, and you are brave. While choosing to honor yourself may at first appear to drive people from your life, the reality could not be more different. Light drives away nothing but darkness – and in this case, people who have chosen (maybe for a lifetime or maybe for a minute) self-loathing and bitterness masked with artificial airs of entitlement and superiority. Those people would enjoy nothing more than to have their twisted sickness validated by their ability to drag others under with them. Stand tall in your experience. Wade ankle deep in the hurt feelings and the joy and the rush of creative expression and the inherent paradoxes of life. Spread your arms out wide and tilt your head to the sky. You’ve chosen a higher path for yourself, and now you get to watch the clouds part and feel the sun shine on your face. Remember, “like attracts like”. You’ve shown the universe what you’re made of, and now all you have to wait for is the glory of the impending reward. You’ve demonstrated without fear the level of love you have for yourself and others, and only good will come of that choice. Period.”
