Those Matter Don T Matter
On the Subject Of the Human Mind and Relationships
As a general rule of life, humans simply cannot go without being judged or thought about in an opinionated way. Once a man named Theodore Seuss Geisel said, “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those matter don't mind”.
