“Feeling sorry for yourself, and you present condition, is not only a waste of energy but the worst habit you could possibly have.” - Dale Carnegie

And that is why I don’t want anyone to feel sorry for me, for having ‘wasted’ 2 years of my life, or so they think. I’m getting kind of sick of it, to be honest. I don’t need the ‘sympathy’. I really don’t. Because I don’t feel like the last 2 years have been a waste, but instead, it has been a time of reflection and growth. And out of that, I’ve become a much stronger, determined person.
