When you know who you areOther people can enter and exit your lifeWithout it rocking your worldAs your foundation is solid and unshakeableBecause you have yourself.When you know who you areThe opinions and judgements of others matter far lessAnd people can speak words of criticism, unkindness and malice about youWithout it affecting how you feelContinue reading
