A Talk With My Yoga Teacher

     My yoga teacher and I had a talk today, and my views on some things have changed, for sure. She says that when a person is faced with a strong-minded, independent person, they act as if that strong-minded person is a threat. It is true. I'm not afraid to let my opinions be heard when things are wrong, nor am I afraid to stand up for myself and defend my voice. This is why those "mean girls" don't like me. I don't fall for their "shallowness" and "insecurities." Their bullying is all they know how to do. It takes a strong person to stand up to them, and when someone does, they're not used to that. This is where I come in. I can stand up for myself even with no one by my side. Hopefully, I'll be able to pave a pathway for everyone else to follow.
   

The flaws you pick on with other people are the flaws you see in yourself. Remember that.
