"don't believe me, don't believe yourself, and don't believe anybody else." don't believe me, because what i say is only truth for me. don't believe yourself, because most of the time what you tell yourself is only truth for you - especially when you tell yourself that you're not good enough, you're not intelligent enough, you're not beautiful enough - when you reject yourself before anybody else can reject you. and don't believe anybody else, because what they say is only truth for them.
