I used to think this statement was such a conceited sentence, but it's true.
Sometimes, we all have people in our lives that tend to either not accept us for who we are or fail to respect us and our beliefs.
Here's the deal. Life's too dang short not to be yourself...AND if someone chooses to be with you in any form or fashion, they'll respect you for who you are and love you just the way you are. From the movie THE HELP, which I absolutely adore by the way, all I can say is "you is loved, you is important, you is somebody."
We all are.
Couth and unconditional love haven't gone out of style, folks. They're both sitting and waiting in the wings for anyone to give to his and/or her fellow human being. It always has, and it always will, no matter what goes on in this great big world. Love is love, and that's all that matters.

I thank you for this! All too often I think that my standards are too high and maybe I expect too much from people. But I always felt that if I could do it, then others could too. And then I find myself being disappointed. People seem to want to take the easy way out anymore and not strive or work to achieve a goal.
Exactly, Jeanne! You and I tend to think alike, my bewitching friend. =). The older I get the less patience I have for people who choose not to better themselves in some way. I love to be around people who grab life by the tail and fly with it. It's too dang short not to be that way.
Thanks, as always, my friend. =)
