Perfection

There is no such thing as perfect, for every individual's idea of it differs. There comes a time where you have to tell yourself that it's better to be hated for who you are than to be loved for who you're not. No one can please everyone, so you have to start with yourself. If you are truly happy, you can more easily help others achieve the same thing. Be secure with yourself, who you are, and your decisions. There are people in your life that will always judge you, never quite understand, and will never walk a mile in your shoes to try. Screw those people, and spend your time with those who enjoy spending theirs with you.
