People who don’t sing from the same song sheet as you.

What could you let go of, for the sake of harmony?

It took me a long time to realise that even people who are part of my family don’t sing from the same song sheet as me. I’ve realised that I don’t need them to make my life complete and that I’m not important enough to be part of theirs.

The best people to have in your life are ones who make you laugh, and accept you for who you are.
