Dead beats don’t be around me . I don’t play that . My character not like that and neither are the brothas around me . We solid .

— Ann Brashares

I am not a people pleaser, I do not need to show performative actions to be liked and respected by others. I don't have to justify myself to others. I can let my opinion be known, regardless if others choose to dislike me for it. Others' opinions of myself are none of my business and have no influence on my life and well-being. I never repeat myself to others more than once, they heard me the first time. Anyone who doesn't respect my boundaries has to be removed from my life. I'm capable of forming my own opinions irrespective of whether others will agree or disagree with them. I remain strong in my convictions and what I believe in without needing to ask others for their input. I'm at peace with not making others happy because the only person I am meant to make happy in this life is myself.
