what matters

it doesn’t matter what people say 

what matters is if you believe them 

i would argue that 99% of human communication is people projecting their insecurities at each other 

and the way we interpret that information is steeped in bias as well 

how do we hold on to what we know to be true about ourselves? 

i am a musician 

i have been singing since i could talk, and i’ve been recording myself long before i even made my first friend 

all that is dear and precious to me is within me 

no one else has the ability to see, understand, or to question that 

and those that do are actually just questioning something inside of themselves
