Stop depending on others

for the happiness that you

know that you deserve.

Stop making others the

priority that should be

when your only priority

should be yourself.

Your only priority should

be being the best you

that you can possibly be.

Don’t let anyone drag

down your confidence or

your self-worth, always

believe in yourself.

Your happiness lies within

yourself and that is all

that should matter.

Be confident and never

let anyone drag you

down no matter what.
