Never bother about what others think of you. Live your life for you.Its you who is going to be with you forever not anyone who JUDJES  you just by(for) material happinesss.......

We cannot make people accept us being according to them. Every one has their  own perspective of thinking. So u cannot satisfy all. Best way is  be HOW YOU ARE, DONT CHANGE YOURSELF FOR SOMEONE...... Because no one is permanent in our life. The one who is permanent in our life also starts rubbing his mindset on our personality when we lack the same. So,dont change for anyone but change for best.

Independency is not being not dependent for money or protection or anything, but it is being independent in ur every action. May it be regarding every decision you take for your future, prioritising your preferences, having clarity towards you.......
