What Other People Think

Is it really best to not care what others think of you?
Maybe it is more of a balance of caring about the constructive criticism of loved ones
But not for the insults of those whose only goal is to boost their own ego

If I didn't care at all what others think of me then I wouldn't consider how others are effected by my actions

The world doesn't revolve around me
And I wouldn't want it to
I rather love selflessly enough to not always expect something in return

I want my laugh to be contagious
I want to be a light house that shows people the way back home to who they really are
I want to be a disco ball that shines with so much positivity that it makes other people feel positive too
I want to be a sun that radiates so much warmth that it reminds others what their is too love about themselves

 I heard a quote one time that said "Happiness only exists when shared"
 But the person you spend the most time with is yourself
Why not become someone you can be happy to spend all your time with?

But happiness is definitely expanded when shared
When love grows for ourselves, the love also grows in all of our relationships
And when the quality of our relationships grows, happiness and well being does too
Humans are made for connection, love, and belonging
