It’s important to do what’s best for you, whether people approve of it or not. This is your life. You know what’s good for you.

When you are your own best friend, you don’t endlessly seek out relationships, friendships, and validation from the wrong sources because you realize that the only approval and validation you need is your own.

Once you have started seeing the beauty of life, ugliness starts disappearing. If you start looking at life with joy, sadness starts disappearing. You cannot have heaven and hell together, you can have only one. It is your choice.

My mum brought me up to think that personal happiness is more important than your family.
