as i get older the list gets shorter of whose opinions matter to me, sometimes down to one name: myself

what matters:
being true to principles
staying focused
building what's meaningful
letting noise fade

status and being liked is temporary illusions

seeking truth requires solitude & letting go of external validation

building value requires clarity free from distraction of others' expectations

the rest? irrelevant.
