    What’s true for someone else isn’t automatically true for you. You don’t have to discount your own perspective and feelings so that they perfectly match up with those of someone you like and admire.

      I considered a simular answer, but realized I was given that same advice so often when I needed to hear it. I still ignored it.

      Much to our detriment. The "heart"often circumvents all logic and reason. Especially to our younger selves.

      Best we can do is try to instill a enough self worth that we become a little more stable. At least in my case I’d have been less willing to change who I am if I actually knew who I was.
