Caring what other people think is the downfall to happiness. I’m slowly learning this and living for myself.
My boyfriend told me that some of his friends have said, “You should have waited to announce your relationship.” I guess it was kind of bothering me, but now that I think about it: fuck them. I don’t care. What would waiting do? What would lying do? His ex would have been hurt now matter what and yes, that is terrible. Yes, I feel bad for her, but I want to be happy. If someone gets hurt on my path to happiness, well, I guess that’s life. I’ve been dealing with it, everyone else should probably learn to as well. It sounds cold and selfish but I’m just being open and reasonable. I admit that everything happened faster than might be considered socially acceptable, but I am not going to put things on hold just to make society happy.
