An open Facebook page is simply a psychiatric dry erase board that screams, âLook at me. I am insecure. I need your reaction to what I am doing, but youâre not cool enough to be my friend. Therefore, I will just pray you see this because the approval of God is not all I need.

Dare to love yourself as if you were a rainbow with gold at both ends.Â
Aberjhani, Journey through the Power of the Rainbow: Quotations from a Life Made Out of PoetryÂ
Every woman that finally figured out her worth, has picked up her suitcases of pride and boarded a flight to freedom, which landed in the valley of change.

That’s the big picture, your happiness. And health. You should never care what a man thinks of you — until he demonstrates to you that he cares about making you happy. If he isn’t trying to make you happy, then send him back from “whence” he came because winning him over will have no benefit. At the end of the day, happines, joy…and yes…your emotional stability…those comprise the only measuring stick you really need to have.
Perhaps this general degradation was the result of too much crowding, too little privacy, too much noise. You couldn’t be decent if you weren’t intelligent; you couldn’t be intelligent if you couldn’t thinkâand who could think in all this racket? Add the stench to the confusion of cramped quarters, and who could be self-respecting?

We are all alone, born alone, die alone, andâin spite of True Romance magazinesâwe shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonelyâat least, not all the timeâbut essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don’t see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.
Self-respect is the root of discipline: The sense of dignity growswith the ability to say no to oneself.
