i can even remember having this conversation with myself. and what they saw as making bad decisions (they were) and pity toward me.... i was doing exactly what i wanted to do at that time. and when done with that part of my journey i moved on. learned so so so much during that time also.

i do not give people pity. who am i to give someone pity, when they are saying, who are you to pity me. i do not even like the word pity
