You deserve the freedom to pursue your own version of happiness. No one deserves to be bullied. It’s very hard to respect yourself when you give in to every temptation. If you want to build self-respect, build your willpower. When you celebrate in advance, things have a way of lining up for you quickly. If you don’t like this chapter of your life, write a new one. Always listen to your voice of reasoning. Remain focused. The Lord speaks.
