"For Slander Lives Upon Succession, For Ever Housèd Where It Gets Posession."

Recently I was told what some people thought of me last year here at school. That I needed to get over myself.
This wasn't said in a malicious manner, it just kind of came up in conversation.
However, why would someone tell me that and tell me it's OK though, because I've changed a lot since last year?
I used to wonder what people thought of me, how they perceived me, and all that jazz. But now I've come to realize that I don't ever want to know what people think of me.
Even if they think highly of me I don't want to know, it won't do me any good.
Some might say if you know what people think of you, you can change all the bad stuff. But you know what? Fuck that!
Why should I have to change who I am just because some people don't like certain things about me?
My purpose in life isn't to make everyone else happy, it's to make myself happy.
And if that's selfish, so be it. I'm not going to live my life apologizing for who I am.
