Sometimes I feel like I don’t deserve what I have. Like somehow I have been simply lucky to get them. People keep telling me how they admire me and stuff, but I just don’t feel or see the same things they see in me. To me, I’m just me.

And I still have this need for external validation.

It doesn’t help that sometimes people around me say the same thing. But I have learned to dismiss such people and keep my distance from them cos most off the time they are just bitter and disappointed with their own failures.
