"If your joy is derived from what society thinks of you, you're always going to be disappointed."

-Madonna.

It would be nice to trust everyone and think that they’re always looking out for you. But sadly this isn’t the case. Who knows what their true opinion is? They might even speak to you as a comfort to dismiss you as politely and as sentimentally as possible. It would be nice to be praised at all times, but sadly this doesn’t happen. There’ll always be someone that criticises you, even if it’s for the minutest of things. Some may not even have heard of you as they’re too absorbed in their own lives. There’s just too many people around to come to a consensual opinion. Instead, you need to take pleasure in the simple things and celebrate when they come to you, especially when there are others who have a great deal less. And if you can share your gains, then society will become a better place for everyone.
