One of the most important moments for me is when I finally realized that I've done enough explaining in life. That I put so much unnecessary weight on what other people think of me and my actions that I just ended up always second-guessing myself.

Now, I mostly just ask myself if something is right or wrong before I do it. When I'm not sure, I would ask important people around me, those who truly care for me but that's about it. I don't bother explaining to others anymore. Having peace of mind in everything that you do is priceless, I've come to learn. It may have taken a while for me to realize that, but I'm just glad I did.
