Ignore the hate

In today's society everyone feels the need to judge one another, whether they know you or not. Just because you heard does not mean you know. Those that judge you do not often realize that you don't need to live by their rules. How you chose to live your life is up to you. But nowadays everyone wants to control people's lives and constantly critic what they are doing as if they have the slightest idea of what that person could be going through. Maybe they've seen you in school or they follow you on social media, but does that mean they really know you? Not at all. There will always be a difference between what people think of you vs. who you really are. Seeing is decieving. We all have things about us that make us unique and beautiful in our own way, as well as what we've been through that has shaped us into who we are now. So when someone judges you its often because they have no clue about what you are battling personally or they base who they think you are off of what they heard about you. People will automatically assume they know you and feel the need to need say something cruel. It sucks that society is so judgemental. But truth is, you are always going to be criticized so you might as well do what you love. The best way to ignore the hate and judgement is to just remember who you are, stay true to yourself. What people say about you does not define who you are as a person. You are defined by your character, thoughts and your views. Never let what others say define you. The things that people say about you right now, are not going to matter in five years. God is preparing you for greater things, there is far more to life than what you are feeling right now.
