You know what they say about opinions.
Keeping it short and clean, everyone has one. Those opinions will vary, based on history, perspective, upbringing, culture, and more.
Because all opinions vary, it is a fool’s errand to try and make everyone happy. To try and impress everyone.
There is only one person any of us need to impress and she’s the one in the mirror.
Set a high bar. Nail it. Set a new bar. Challenge her. Every. Damn. Day. Make her proud and don’t let anyone else’s view of “too much” or “not enough” hold you back.
If she’s too much for some, or not enough for others, so be it. The right circle will find her just right, even if that circle starts with the woman in the mirror.
