Daily writing prompt
What's the best piece of advice you've ever received?
The best piece of advice I ever received was what other people think about me is none of my business. Oh, there was a time, when I would hear little snide comments that were based on jealousy and insecurities, it would hurt my feelings. You know the things that insecure women will say about you behind your back or to your face. Little things like you wear your skirts too short, red lipstick in the daytime, I wish I could go to the salon every week, and the list goes on and on. Sometimes, women simply are voicing their jealousy, insecurity, unfulfilled needs, and spiteful meanness.
I went to a fundamentalist church years ago where it was like being shredded during the Sunday coffee hour, and Sunday pollocks. I brought one of my friends with me. I had made a very elaborate doll cake for a baby shower. Some comments were pretty snippy, it left me in tears. My friend exclaimed, "It is not your business what other people think of you."
