Why you shouldn't care what others think about you? Because it drives you nuts...Isn't it? As a Thai fashion blogger, I am in the position of being judged/ commented all the time. Why? Because the trend of the social media over here is trying to tell me who I have to be. In order to break into the market here "You have to be the beauty addiction", "You have to lose more weight", "You have to get more attention from the media", "You have to be more feminine, why not wearing a dress?" etc...Guess what, I don't f*** care. They can say whatever, because I have chosen to listen to what I want.
I know it can be frustrating when you overheard the conversation, that involved your name in. I used to care (a lot) and was very sensitive over what people saying about me. Even a friend, who I thought we were BFF, but it wasn't meant to be like that at all...I have come to the conclusion that "At the end of the day, you have got your own back. And this's the truth" You know, even many of my friends do not believe in what I do. They don't understand why I have been blogging for. I get it, it's not the mainstream career choice like a lawyer, or teacher...But I believe that we all can make the choice, which leads to the ultimate goal we have been looking for, right? The Equinox Fashion blog is my blood, life and soul, I will never let anyone look down on what I have built by my own two hands. I am sorry, but my dignity is too high to surrender to those shitty words out off someone's else.
I let those voices in my head, and it fucked me up so badly. I lost my confidence for a while. I didn't have a courage to do what I want. I doubted myself about every decision I made...Do you really think I could continue on living life, or making my dream come true like this? Heck, no! That's why I have decided to move one, and only listen to my "voice" The most important thing in this life is to make the decision, based on the guts inside. You can listen to the comments from others, but never let them influence your life. This is your life, the only life you can make shit happen.
So, don't waste it.

Very inspirational! I agree that at the end of the day, people have a lot of things to say, but if we're happy with what we're doing than that's all that matters. Great post as always. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this state of mind and that's exactly how we all should act but sometimes it's hard to don't care about what others think! I love the look by the way!

This is very inspiring. No one needs to have that many opinions about what you choose to do with your own blog. That is the whole point, you can put on it whatever you like! You hit the nail on the head when it comes to having your own back. It's tough enough to shut out all of those thoughts that you have for yourself, let alone hearing anyone else's. Keep following your own path Gail. Something that may not always make sense to people in your immediate community does not mean that there isn't some one else out there who gets it and loves what you are doing.

I love the message in this post! It is so important to do you and to stop caring about what others think. It's like that Dr. Seuss quote says "Always do what you want, and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." Love your motivating, empowering theme! Thanks so much for the good vibes xx

Very honest and inspirational! I always wonder how people can be so judgemental or opinionated about someone else so openly ! Its very hard to shut out the noise and keeping focus but surround yourself with people that love you and always stand by you :)

A huge yes to this post! I always get nervous to tell people in real life about my blog because I fear that they just won't get it or will make some kind of a joke out of it, but I guess...who really cares? It's not their life anyway and as you said I've got my own back :)
