It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.

 

I am my own competition and I am my own worst enemy. I'd much rather be loved for who I really am, or not at all. To truly love yourself is one of the greatest gifts you could ever give yourself, but it is also one of the most difficult tasks. Why? We constantly compare ourselves to others or try to be something we aren't just to fit in. My greatest advice is to be yourself, no matter what others say. Although it's easier said than done, I believe it's something that is absolutely necessary to be happy.
