Time was when I used to prioritize others' words and what others used to say about me. Do I look good? Am I looking smart in this outfit? Does my achievement mean anything to my friends and relatives? All the time, my mind was occupied with other people's opinions. If my friend say a certain outfit does not suit me, I used to keep the dress back in the wardrobe. If my relatives say that I am not open to them, I used to feel bad. The words of my relatives used to pin in my heart. If my neighbors say that I am choosy and moody, I used to keep thinking about it the whole night. Those words keep oscillating in my mind for the entire night. At last, my sleep hampers and I wake up with the tired look the next morning. Others' statements used to matter me a lot. Most of the time, I tried to look good in other's eyes. I used to give my best to make people believe that I am good in most ways. In a bid to prove myself in every step, I kept losing my mental peace and myself. Every little word of others means a lot to me. Positive words of others made me feel good. Negative words of others made me feel depressed. Time came in my life when I had to put a stop to other people's opinions. I decided to live a life for myself.
