You can never be happy if you keep counting on how many people laughed at you for wearing that peculiar hat or the floral skirt.

Live your life for yourself and you will be surprised to find that the freedom in thinking will bring you to a higher place in life.
Maybe its the time to slowly disentangle your mind from the clouds of other's thoughts.
