Do something to better yourself and watch the haters come from everywhere to try to bring you down and steal your joy......

They didn't steal my joy. I became doubly happy. They are wasting their lives focused on the wrong things. Their hatred is a direct reflection of themselves, not me. They are cowards attacking me instead of getting their shit together. They have hate, I have love. They have conflict, I have peace
They are bitter, I am better.

Sadly, you will find that many that you thought were your friends, are not actually friends at all.

Absolutely!!!😉 We need to stay strong and can do it with our friends and loved ones! I get by with a little help from my friends, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends❣👍🏼😊🎶
