Everything you've gone through in your life, qualifies you to be exactly who you are. Only YOU have earned the right to be you, and to do the things you do, the way you know best how to do them. Yes, you will be questioned, sometimes even interrogated, put down, cast into doubt, by those who think they know better than you, who think they know what's right for you, who think they are somehow an authority on who you are. They will point out your flaws, prey on your weaknesses, seek to uncover your deepest vulnerabilities. They will attempt to take away the part of you that makes you unique and distinct, and replace it with their own twisted version of what they think you are. BUT THAT'S NOT WHO YOU ARE. No matter what others say or do, only YOU know what it's like to be you. Only YOU understand your purpose and mission. Only YOU can resolve to move forward, face the trials and tribulations, and pave your own way towards your highest, most glorious, most extraordinary self. Because if not you, then who?
