Maybe some time somewhere in your life, people rejected you, people made you feel like an option, people said crazy and untrue things about you, they've lied to you, cheated on you and all sorts of these kind. These things happen. Life has taught us things, or is teaching us a lot. Be whoever you wanna be. Go where ever you wanna go to, love whoever makes the world beautiful. You're your own competition. Just have in mind that people who didn't choose you lost something. You're YOU, even you can't change that fact.
