You don't get to define me simply because you have an opinion about me.
People can judge you from a distance.
They can criticize your choices.
They can question your decisions.
They can create an entire story about you from a few moments they've seen.
But they weren't there for everything.
They don't know your battles, your fears, your sacrifices, or the reasons behind your choices.
Remember:
**People are entitled to their opinions—but not to ownership of your life.**
Their judgment can reach your doorstep.
**It doesn't have to enter your house.**
Let them talk.
Their opinion is theirs.
**Your life is still yours.**
