Read carefully

Read carefully, and take a minute to ponder this.

The bad news, many around you are attentive to every detail and every mistake you make, many around you are there waiting for you to make these mistakes, many around you want to see you fall and fail, only to appear in the moment and take away the attention, just to steal your light. Many of them envy you, jealous of you, and would give an arm to see you fall.

The good news. Nothing, absolutely none of this has anything to do with you, it is their perspective, not your reality, you keep walking, keep shining, keep doing what makes you happy.

The stars do not cry because another star shines, they continue to shine, you do the same, and stomp, look at the past, at those steps you are following, look at the present, at those steps you are marking, look at the future, in that legacy that you are leaving to those who come after you. Everything else is just noise.

with love, Elo.
