I think it is sinking in

I have been told over the years, that when you are finally satisfied with who you are to a certain point, you no longer require others to verify, or validate your self worth.
Finally I think I got it.
I am in charge of my own happiness, not some wonderful man who must rub my feet, and tell me I am gorgeous every day.
I already KNOW!
and I got a little plastic thing with nobs on it and I can rub my own feet.
I buy my own roses, and if I don't like something about myself, I work on changing it.
And if somebody doesn't like something about me, I don't care a heck of a lot.
I really don't spend evenings wondering why nobody likes me. They don't have to.
