quit worrying what other people think

I am getting better with this one. I only see the ‘not as good as everyone else’ behavior when we hang out with certain friends.

Maybe I need to find some friends who are more like I am now, rather than those who are what I wish I could be…

We went to a BBQ cookoff this weekend, and it was very last minute. I was in no way prepared for it, and all I kept thinking was how I looked like pure white trash. I let that bother me the whole evening, and I’m pretty sure that my sour mood wrecked any chance of my husband truly having a good time.

I knew better than to let my feelings get to me and that it really didn’t matter how I appeared, but everyone that was there was from upper-middle class and higher, and I just felt so out of place with my Walmart t-shirt and my 4-year old Nikes.

Guess I gotta work a lot harder on this one.

learn that no ones opinion about me and my life matters except my own. If people cannot accept me or my lifestyle, then I don’t need them in my life dragging me down.
