Remind yourself every day: You don’t need to impress anyone! You never need to act! The people around you are not an audience, they are just fragile and weak beings who ask for a little attention and love like you. And don't count their blood cells. Don't count their mistakes. Their words are not valid. You don't know who went through what and what his fate was. People are next to you just like you. With a bunch of fears. With a bunch of doubts. With a bunch of insecurities. And with one big smile on their face, they hide it all. Whisper a nice word to them sometimes to wonder if they really heard it. Who knows who said something nice to them last time. Maybe they think they have to be better than you. And you think you have to be better than them. It doesn't matter who is better. Who is prettier. Who is stronger. All that matters is that they feel something beautiful next to you and wish that closeness lasts. Remind yourself every day: You don’t need to impress anyone! You just have to love. And you've had enough. Svaki dan podsjeti sebe: Nikoga ne trebaš impresionirati! Nikada ne trebaš glumiti! Ljudi oko tebe nisu publika, samo su krhka i slaba bića koja traže malo pažnje i ljubavi kao i ti. I ne broji im krvna zrnca. Ne broji im greške. Ne važi im riječi. Ne znaš tko je što prošao i kakva mu je bila sudbina. Ljudi su pokraj tebe kao i ti. S hrpom strahova. S hrpom sumnji. S hrpom nesigurnosti. I jednim velikim osmijehom na licu sve to skrivaju. Šapni im ponekad neku lijepu riječ da se pitaju jesu li je stvarno čuli. Tko zna tko im je zadnji put nešto lijepo rekao. Možda misle da moraju biti bolji od tebe. A ti misliš da moraš biti bolji od njih. Ma nije važno tko je bolji. Tko je ljepši. Tko je snažniji. Bitno je samo da pokraj tebe osjete nešto lijepo i da požele da ta blizina potraje. Svaki dan podsjeti sebe: Nikoga ne trebaš impresionirati! Trebaš samo voljeti. I dosta ti je.
