in someone’s story, you are the villain
in another, you are the hero                                                          
there’ll be stories where your name won’t even be mentioned or recognised
but regardless of the label you are given,

your peace should always be in understanding that you will never be able to change everyone’s perspective of you
so don’t make it a habit to subtract from your view of self and/or your worth
because “someone, did……or someone said…....”  

their validation does not equal acceptance
but your acceptance of this fact alone;
equals a mental liberation and self mastery
let yourself be rooted in these fundamental values to bring inner peace
