prove yourself right, not prove them wrong

During my gap year, I've received so many (UNSOLICITED) criticism from different groups of people, and the worst part was that most of it wasn't even constructive.

I was so lost, and at the same time, being pulled in different directions: The feeling of odds being stacked against you, and the sheer exasperation to not only overcome your own negative thoughts, but to also overcome the critique that comes from others. That can be heavy. Life can be heavy.

But, there is purpose in this season. There is a reason that you here in this moment, in this time, with these people.

Learn to hope. Hope that there are better things coming, there will be clarity at the end of this confusion.

So, with this, be wise with who your life has time for. It's hard to choose who to listen to, what to do, who to follow.

You have already come so far, I can't even fathom how much further you'll go.

You got this,

P.S I just want to thank each and everyone who has supported me throughout my gap year. It was less depressing because of your endless love and encouragement, brings me to tears (in a good way) every time.
