I used to depend on others for my happiness. There's no shame in admitting that - it's all too easy to rely on the opinion of others to make yourself feel good. But living like that is dangerous. One rejection, argument, miscommunication can destroy your self esteem and happiness. So start controlling your own happiness - … Continue reading Boost of the day #39: I depend on me
