Let me tell you something about life, shame on you if you let the opinions of other people stop you, shame on you. So many people live their life based on what other people may think of them, you live your life based on other people's opinion of you.
I wonder how many wonderful songs were almost written, but stop at the last minute, because you thought someone else may not like it. I wonder how many best-selling books that were almost written but what's yielded because of what other people may say about it, what friends and family may say, my greatest superpower is my ability to do whatever the heck I want to do, regardless on whether you like it or not, see, it's a gift.
