# I do not need approval from others to be happy.

- 12/05/23 - “To free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves--there lies the great, singular power of self-respect.”  -  Joan Didion 
- No one has power over me unless I give it to them. To respect myself is not to give that power.
