For 3 months now I've had a friendship bracelet on. Many people have asked me if it's to represent a friendship with a longtime childhood friend, and every time I've been super, super, uber, duber anxious to respond with "no." Now you wonder why? Well, I suppose my eagerness stems from the fact that my friendship with my best friend (forced to use that word for lack of a better one) is so rock solid that I like giving people that element of surprise.
Now, the more important reason is because I picked up that friendship bracelet, tied it around my own wrist and promised myself that it was to represent the relationship I have with myself. After all, we come in alone and we leave alone. Truth be told, I try my best to live my life according to what my ultimate opinion of myself would be based on my actions. If I'm not going to be happy with myself after doing something, I try not to do it and vice versa. Some of us get sucked into reacting maliciously because we get tired of what the world exerts on us, but keep in mind: what people do to you is their karma, how you react may or may not be yours.
Just be proud of what you do, if you can't be proud of it, don't not only do it, but don't even associate with it.
It's quite simple. Oh, and remember, what you think of yourself is what matters the most when the sun sets and the moon shines. What hour the clock reads is irrelevant because it is unavoidable that it's the hour you find yourself ready to put your head on that fluffy pillow and as cliche as it may be, it couldn't be more of a fact that, "there is no pillow softer than a clear conscious."
